Just don't go, it is a 1 year old. It should be a family get together. Chances are you don't want to foster this relationship, because the Mom is probably a little over the top nuts. IMHO
That's what I did with the last 1 year old invite I got. Plus it was right in the middle of her nap time.

I always love people without kids who post in these types of threads. Always humorous to see people who have absolutely no clue.
What's awesome is that every parent posting in here is just about split 50/50 on bringing the kid versus leaving it at home.
So yeah...that statement about having absolutely no idea? That has more to do with the person than whether or not they have kids. Good job.

Yet you both had the same suggestion

Watch out Tigerfred....she already said calling is a stupid idea
Unless you have children...then she'll think it was a great idea

Drop both kids off. Come back hours later to collect.

Her posting non parents need not apply just makes us without parents want to post just to piss her off.
You don't have parents?

Kind if in the middle. I have two but both are now grown. Maybe I am disqualified.

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

Not with kids of my own, but with kids in my family, yes. But I guess just because I didn't sire those children myself means I can't be logical and think about what to do in your situation (that I've seen before)..is that what you're getting at?

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.

It's ok to bring other kids. I have a little girl and fully expect parents to bring the siblings to her b-day parties. If the parents throwing the party don't expect this, then they are stupid. Even if I'm at a place where I have to pay by the number of kids, I factor that in. Definitely not a big deal.
Posted on 7/1/14 at 12:26 pm to TigerFred
Definitely ask them. They may be alright with it but will need to plan for extras like cake/pizza/cupcakes/party favors etc AND if it isn't at their house, they may be charged by head...If everyone brings 1 or 2 siblings, that could potentially double or triple the cost of their party.

I'm not sure...I'd need to actually see a picture of it instead of some close up top-down picture of her lower shirt.
Based on that pic alone, I assume I'd frick her, if that's what you're asking. So Cork...you're welcome.

Good point. If someone is at my kid's birthday party, I'm going to know them well enough to know if they have other kids.

This is actually my stance. No way in hell I'd pay a sitter for some rando 1 year old's birthday. Hell, Fin doesn't even get a sitter for weddings
(I love you, Fin). 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 other.

The 4 year old isn't invited. Find something else to do with her during the party.
