Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Why is it that so many ppl feel the need to bend the rules??? If the invite is for one of your kids, respect the host and don't send sibs. Sheesh!

OK, well, how about not having parties in the middle of the week then? What are working people with one nanny supposed to do exactly?
[ Reply | More ]np: here are some options: drop off, arrange for another invited dc's nanny or mom to take your dc to party, take time off work, get a HS sitter to take dc to party, rsvp "no". I've used every single one of these options. Why do people think it's important that THEY be convenienced at any cost to the hosts?
[ Reply | More ]If people put half the effort into making it work that they do into whining about how hard it is, this would not be an issue. IME (with 2 kids and no nanny) nobody minds if you ask about a sibling, and I have yet to find a situation where it is not OK for me to drop off the invited kid, and ask a friend or the host to call if there is a problem.

Do you live in NYC? Inviting all sibs could easily make a party so large you'd have 50 kids if you invited the whole class (which is more important than inviting sibs, imo). Very few facilities deal with parties of this size (to say nothing of the extra cost). So, you can invite sibs and I will continue not inviting sibs (unless, of course, they happen to be friends with my dc).
