Do any other parents often “forget” (ignore) invitations their kids get for birthday parties? Whether it’s for classmates or even family. If I know it’s a party for someone my daughter would reeeeeally want to be there for, I usually make the effort to go. But if it’s for a kid at school I’ve never even heard of then chances are we’re not going. Or if it it’s being thrown by family members I don’t associate with. I feel guilty for not putting my own discomfort aside so my daughter can have these experiences. But I just don’t want to spend my weekends off forcing myself to engage with anybody. Strangers, toxic family- anyone.

Nah I take my child to any birthday party he said he was/is interested in going to. I’m also not a fan of socializing and get social anxiety, but I do what I can to put my feelings aside so my son can do the things he wants and make friends. Birthday parties are a great way for kids to have fun and socialize together and it’s just a few hours out of my day. Also, this is very important, you can’t expect kids to show up to your child’s birthday party when you refuse to show up to anyone else’s.

It’s not about you, though. Like, at all. It’s about these kids and your kid. Your kid making friends and being social is your job. You don’t have to go speak to these people, just go for your kid/the kids birthday. Typically they feel the same way as you do. I try to take my boy to as many birthday parties as we can get too. You genuinely sound like the toxic one.

No, as much as I feel very socially anxious I know my kids will be so happy and excited to go to a party. I also don’t want to put my anxieties on to them so I encourage them to socialise.

What if all people thought like this. Imagine how the birthday child would feel if no one showed up. Some people have no family so classmates are their only friends for their bday

That is incredibly selfish. I don’t like it either but you put aside your own discomfort for your kid to go to a birthday party. That’s not fair to the kid who invited them and definitely not to yours. Eventually those kids will quit inviting your child and they will be heartbroken.

In this day and age, I am not comfortable allowing my child to go somewhere I don’t know the parents. Creeps can look like normal people, all I’m saying. If I can stay, then I’ll take her, but she is not going by herself. And that is NOT being selfish.

I have yet to be able to take mine to any of her classmates parties cause things have legit happened that I cannot avoid (emergencies) each time.

The only time I would is if the kid or parents or someone at the party was a danger or a cause for problems.

I am a socially awkward introvert who get anxious around people. I make sure my son goes to every birthday party he’s invited to, unless theres a genuine reason ie we have planned to go away already. Life is uncomfortable, we have to find ways to cope with it. Friendships are so important for young people, and parties are a fun time where they get to build on that. Maybe see a doctor or a therapist, and try to get sorted. Or risk having your son pick up and mimic your behavior, or feel that he has missed out on a normal childhood.
Also people who don’t respond to invites are a pain. I still have to get enough for those who don’t RSVP at all, just incase the child turns up and there’s not enough for them.

I make an effort to go to as many as possible. We invited my daughters whole class a year ago and she was so excited to see everyone. Not a single child outside of our 4 kids showed up. She wouldn’t even blow out her candles because she was crying. It broke my heart. I had hoped since we went to so many parties she was invited to that at least a few would show up to hers. I’m scared to do anymore birthday parties because I never want her to feel that way again.

If your child would enjoy themselves you should take them.It seems very selfish of you to just “forget”. At the very least let the person who invited you that you’re unable to attend.
You had kids you gotta do the party thing. Often in younger years the full class is invited too. Your child might feel left out if you don’t take them whenever possible

No, I try not to…. If there is some reason that we cannot go or simply don’t want to go, we tell the kids and they generally understand. But it makes them SO HAPPY to be invited to these birthday parties. They get so much joy simply from being invited, from picking out a gift a packaging it up, and watching their friend open it. So if we can, I try to take them and try to enjoy it myself. I usually know some of the other parents, and there’s usually food involved so I’m good with it

I fully accept when parents are struggling and can’t bring their child to my kids bday parties 
I think parental mental health is so important in taking care of our children and there are so many more important things in life to take care of other than birthday parties that we should address so that we can be the best parents that we can be I think it’s important to understand that we are not all experiencing the world the same way and sometimes it’s okay to put ourselves first considering we are so important in the lives of all of the ppl who depend on us…. I wouldn’t worry too much about others expectations or about what others are doing, it doesn’t do us any good to compare our choices to others

Sounds selfish. Until you’ve been the mom when no one shows up for your babies birthday party… you don’t know how terrible it feels to watch your child be sad that no one showed up for them. It’s awful and heartbreaking. Just take your child. You don’t have to engage, sit in your car or something. I don’t want to go to parties most of the time, but it’s not about me. It’s about the children and them having a memorable childhood and making connections with other kids. Just take them to the party.

How sad is it that you would expect people to show up for your daughter but wouldn’t show up for them. kids remember who was there every birthday I been to many many others have been invited and I’d be 1 of the 2 parents who made an effort to show. I want to be the parent who shows up so they can show for my Littles. Birthdays are important and your daughter deserves to get out and socialize. Don’t you want to be the mom your children’s friends love.

I literally am having my daughters 6th birthday party tomorrow. She wanted to invite kids from her kindergarten class (first year in school so she’s beyond excited about her new friends). She only specifically requested a few, but I felt like it would be bad on me to not invite all of the kids in class. I don’t ever want anyone to feel left out (especially in kindergarten). We invited al 22 kids, invitations did ask for an RSVP Whether it was a yes or no, and I mentioned we just wanted RSVPS to know how much food/ goody bags to have ready.
I also would like to say if my daughter were to come home with an invitation I would ask her if she wanted to go.

Wow just wow u know how selfish that sounds. Yes we obviously need our time where we don’t do anything besides hanging at home but bdays do not happen that often to do that. It’s for your daughter, think about her feelings too, especially classmates. Kids get so excited to go to their friends bdays and the child throwing it could hv no one show up too, how sad would that be, so it’s not only for your daughter it’s for the other child too. I would at least make an effort to commit to a few of them.

My son was invited to a birthday party by a Facebook acquaintance he’s never met the kid nor have I. (My son is three) I told the mom I appreciate the invite but I don’t feel comfortable going to a party for a child I have not even met, but I’d love to get to know him let’s do a playdate. She said she appreciated my honesty and wants to do a playdate. My older son is 12 now so I let him make those choices. When he was younger it was up to him. He wanted to go so I’d go with him even if it made me feel awkward. When he was 10 the parties were drop off parties. So I’d drop him off. I do know schools have to invite the entire class if that is where they are handing out invitations. I get your feelings and I feel and felt the same way but it is for your child not for you and us as parents need to put our feelings aside when it comes to social life. Our kids didn’t have socialization not to long ago. So we have all gotten into this self isolation funk and it’s difficult to get out of it. Id get some therapy to work on why you feel this way and how to be able to go to these things with your child. Mental health is serious when it starts to affect your life and child’s it’s time to get help.

Coming from a mother who homeschools and lives in the middle of nowhere i wish my kids had this. Parties are important for kids, they get to be free(out of school) with there peers. Some of my best friends were made at parties. Also i think its good for them to go so that they learn etiquette. I don’t enjoy going myself and moat of the time tend to my kids instead of socializing but I definitely always make an effort to take them.

My child usually always wants to go to classmates parties and we live in a small town and I am just happy all classmates get included and now I’m getting ready to thrown my son a party for all his classmates.
If my child is going to get the socialisation he needs not to mention fun, I’ll go even if I don’t know the parents I make an effort or I sit and watch the kids.
It’s your child’s time to have experiences, friends and their own little life now and at a young age can’t do it on their own you have to put your comfort aside sometimes.

Well it’s just part of the job as a parent you put your own wants and things like that aside for what is best for your kids and socializing is very important, Your children making those bonds and those connections with people is very crucial, It’s literally only for a few hours,… And you don’t have to leave them you can opt to stay with them, Can’t imagine any Sing no you can’t do that then maybe that’s red flags,… And honestly coming from someone who doesn’t overtly want to be overly social lol I have made some pretty great friends And acquaintances along the way, And some of these kids are my children’s absolute best friends For me that is no inconvenience,

Wow!!! I never comment on any of these posts but this one just hit a nerve with me. My daughter is 6 years old and in 1st grade, I am 55 and my husband 58. Last year while she was in kindergarten we went to at least a dozen birthday parties from classmates. Every single birthday invitation I got super excited for her and then got very nervous for myself. It is so difficult for me to go to these parties and hang out with all these young, cute, hip mommies. I put all my fears and anxieties aside because I have a beautiful daughter that has many awesome friends. I don’t know most of the families, but we show up because my daughter wants to go and hang out with her friends. This isn’t about me, this is about my child!!! My husband and I have actually starting buying all kinds of gifts for both boys and girls and just stashing them away for the next party. I will also add that going to all these birthday parties I have met a lot of really awesome young parents but we all have one thing in common, we love our children and will do anything for them.

My oldest is 3.5 and my son’s 2nd birthday party is this weekend. I will do whatever it takes to go to every birthday party possible. I’ve already had my share of parties that people didn’t show up to after I wasted hundreds of dollars on them! My kids are luckily too young to care that nobody showed up but I’m not ready for the day that they are old enough to see that their birthday wasn’t a priority to others like we make their friends parties a priority for us. My weekends are just as busy as my weekdays and we attend a lot of kids parties but it’s good karma I feel like. One day the endlessly busy weekends are going to slow down and I’m going to want them back just to be able to watch my kids have fun with their friends. I hope your own children never have to experience a party that none of their friends show up for🤷🏼♀️

Being on the end that hardly anyone came to my kids birthday party…the least you could do if you don’t want to go is to let the parent know. We buy so much stuff because nobody has the decency to either rsvp or let us know they can’t come that we overspend and then when only 2 people show up everything is wasted and the birthday kid is let down. Honestly it’s not about you. You’re making your kid miss out on good memories. I hope that the other parents don’t think like you. Unfortunately since this has happened multiple times with my kid we are opting on taking her somewhere super special considering I spent a ridiculous amount on a birthday party at a trampoline park only for 1 kid in her class to show up.

It’s part of being a parent. Your kids need to have interactions with other kids–both in and out of school–to become well grounded and socialized. These are memories that they will look back on when they are older. They are only kids once. Giving up weekends for your kids is what parents do.

You should be there for your kids & the other kids. Depending on the ages & if you know the family, you could drop off and pick up; very little socializing required. If you’re NOT going to take your child at all, then at least have the courtesy of responding.
People have this mentality and is the reason why my daughter had only one friend show up to her birthday party. I am truly grateful for that friend and her mom, but it’s also why we celebrate birthdays with family that love her and show up so she doesn’t have to be let down like that ever again
That’s selfish. If I’m off work and don’t already have prior arrangements then we go because I know how it feels for people to not show up to my kids parties after they said they were coming and I spent my money and time preparing the party and food. Then think about how the kids feel when nobody shows up or very few show up!

As the mother of a child who has an extremely hard time making new friends and has had more than one birthday spent in tears due to people not showing up I find this horrendous. Just because you don’t know the kid shouldn’t mean anything. In fact maybe it should be more so your child can meet someone new. I’m extremely introverted and have extreme social anxiety but I make my kids make it to every birthday they are invited to. I would hate to be the cause of another child’s tears over something as dumb as “I don’t want to spend my weekend” blah blah blah

I leave it up to my kids. If they don’t want to then we don’t go. If it’s with family I don’t associate with much then he’ll usually go with another family member. That way he’s present and doesn’t miss out and I’m not out in a situation I’m uncomfortable in.
Not fair putting your fears first and stopping your child from socialising, take her to the party and hang around so that you are seeing for yourself that she is safe…if she is uncomfortable that is when you leave with her. I always took my kids to their friends parties and I stayed I wasn’t a good socialiser either but it was nice seeing my kids happy.
Mine goes by herself to birthday parties I just drop off with a quick exchange of words just like we did as kids. I’m anti social but i won’t ruin my daughters fun with her friends.
I don’t like being around strangers wen it comes to bday party’s from school . But if they ask and they got invited with a invitation all I do is talk to parent of the child and if I can drop and pick up after I don’t stay and they never had a problem . But I do let them go !
I love taking my daughter to birthday parties. It’s also a chance for me to get out of the house and socialize with other adults and meet new people.
I remember going to parties and I’m so thankful my mom always took me!
The toxic family thing I 100% agree with. Otherwise, do the rest. Your kid is a kid ONCE. Let them be happy

Norhing worse then paying for a child to enjoy ur childs birthday with them and they dont show up, another child could have had ur child’s place but selfish i think xxx
If My kids want to go we do our best to get them there . 2 of mine had birthday invitations for this weekend unfortunately we had plans to go away the weekend but I let the parents know that we might make it to the one siblings but one party is Saturday one Sunday.
Since the pandemic started and the fact that we have a newborn not only here at my house, but at their dad’s they have a new baby sister as well. If it isn’t close family that we can trust to monitor their health then we send a gift and thank them for the invite. 
I put anxiety or Discomfort aside so my kid gets to socialize with her friends she tell me what parties she wants to go to from school an some of them come to hers we even had play dates an im kinda quiet but the kids are having fun
I am also not a social butterfly but my son always go to his friends parties up to the point that he doesn’t want me to go with him anymore. That time will come because it’s the same kids that are attending the same parties every year so you get to know the parents and vice versa. The only time I didn’t allow is early this year for my 4yr old and it’s because she not yet vaccinated and it broke my heart that she has to miss 3 parties and her first too but I can’t risk her getting sick. But soon she should be able to and am very excited for her. If you don’t wanna socialize you can just prolly stay in your car since kids parties are usually short and limited.
I would at least let them know we weren’t attending. My kid hasn’t been invited to much but we have gone for her and our knowledge of the kids and parents. We need to learn who the kids are interacting.
So I completely understand where you are coming from because I am literally the exact same way. But my daughter is in pre-K and she actually got a birthday invitation at the beginning of this week and her dad and I were hoping that the child just invited all the kids in the class just so I wouldn’t feel guilty about not going LOL but then our daughter’s teacher was letting us know that this little girl only invited my daughter and one other child and how she was saying she really wanted our daughter to be at her party. I have never met her or her family and I am very uncomfortable with going places I don’t know or meeting with people I don’t know. But I really do want my daughter to experience everything any other child gets to so I have decided to put my personal feelings aside and I am going to attend this birthday party with her because if this little girl really wanted my daughter to be there I believe she should go even though I will be uncomfortable the whole time because we all have had our friends and best friends when we were kids and loved going to birthday parties so I’m sure my daughter will love it just as much as the birthday girl will plus they will get that interaction outside of school so they could become really good friends over the years. But I know it is hard trust me I’m literally freaking out at the idea of me going but I feel it will be good for my child so I am putting my issues to the side so my child can enjoy her life like she should be allowed to!
I’m not going to lie. I love my kids and I wish I could do everything! But as a social anxiety person who also works 55+ hours a week I just don’t have the time or patience. I won’t leave my kids (11&17) places I don’t know the parents and I can’t always be there for everything. And as a full time working mom I’m not always available to just sit at someone’s party. We often send a gift or try to do something special with the birthday person. We also don’t invite the class to our bdays. I don’t expect anything I don’t give. I also understand everyone has their own schedule and everything doesn’t work for everyone.
I was your daughter once. Let me say, she will end up resenting you for it one day. A lot of my social anxiety comes from not being allowed to socialize as a child. Let her be a child this once. One day, sooner than you realize, it’ll be too late.
