When calling to RSVP, ask if it's okay to bring your other child. Offer pay for the extra kid if it's not at someone's house.

I am serious, 1 year old parties should be such close friends that you aren't asking questions.

Agreed. Most one year birthday parties only included family and really close friends. it's not like a one year old "has friends" to invite yet.

Why waste a perfectly good Saturday in a place with a bunch of babies you don't know? First birthday parties are only fun when everyone there knows/cares about each oth


Exactly. Instead you could do something else with both of your children instead of being at a party with people you don't even know well.

Logic isn't the problem Cokes. It's the lack of experience.

That being said, it doesn't mean non-parents can't have an opinion or even a valid one from time to time. It's just that the opinion is usually an educated guess based on very little education.

I think it's both. Of course experience with your own kids helps...but my point is that the whole "nonparents need not apply" thing is just added to be a bitch, and nothing else (unless maybe to lure nurse into a fight ).

And like I said, the nonparents are saying the exact same shite as the parents in this thread...and the parents themselves are saying complete opposite things about half the time.

Why do you need a birthday party for a 1 year old anyways? Just have a get together with close family ,friends. My niece had one a few years back and it was just family that lived in Houston and 1 or 2 close family friends.

Are you a parent? Yet you think calling and asking would be the best solution? Interesting

I wouldn't go to a 1 year olds birthday party unless it was my kid and then it would still take some convincing fwiw

Bingo

It could've been interesting but Cork got real quiet when Nurse got strong on her.

Yeah, I just threw that post in here even though this is not the type of topic that the whole parent/non-parent thing matters.

That is more relevant for topics like childrens medication, behaviorial therapy techniques, and the like.

It's funny how the OT turns into a bunch of 1 year olds just because people have a difference in opinion.

You think birthday parties for 1 yr olds only started with the rise of Pentrest?
