Completely off topic, but venting for a sec.... OMG, what is with the 4-year old party circuit at my daughter's school??? Every kid invites every other kid and - I kid you not - every single parent shows up too. There are sixteen children in her class. That's almost **50** people and that's even before relatives and the neighborhood kids to boot. I'm just goggling at the logistics. And I can't even lie and do a super "seekrit" b-day b/c my daughter has happily been making her own invitations in art class and has been passing them out to her friends! I've already been asked by other parents about the date so they can put it on their calendars! Add that to the school's "no Shabbat (Fri/Sat) parties" request along with a slew of upcoming holidays and out-of-town committments and I'M ready to be committed! Plus the kid really doesn't need that many presents. We're already up to our ears in stuff. In all honesty, can I really deny her a birthday party? She's been to all her friends' parties and she's super, super excited about having her own. Its not like we can't afford it or have a real excuse not to. I just don't wanna deal..... :-/ very strange, why in the world would parents want to come to your daughter's party unless they know her well? Have it at Chucky Cheese's, and tell the parents that if they want to stay for the party, they have to sit somewhere else, that the party table is for the children only! ETA: Saw your post about Chucky Cheese, actually I remember taking my son to a BD party there and the poor little kid, who was 5, was terrified of the big animals and the noise and cried the whole time. I did go to that party, but the mom was a good friend of mine. |

I will be so disappointed if he ever gets better at the spelling thing. Not only is it cute that he messes up so regularly, it gives me a good excuse when I mess up. My problem isn't that I can't spell. I have Adamspellingitis!

I''d rather get a few more pizzas and have their parents deal with them.... as long as it is not in your house/apartment and the time for the party is limited - you'll be OK. It is hell regardless of where you have it, but at this age parents are a VERY necessary evil...seriously. |

My problem isn't that I can't spell. I have Adamspellingitis! Marilyn vos Savant, who writes the "Ask Marilyn" column in Parade magazine, says that research shows that the difference between bad spellers and good spellers is not how intelligent they are but how organized they are. People who are very organized tend to be good spellers. Given Adam's propensity for being late, I would guess that he's not terribly organized, and if that's true, it's not surprising that he doesn't spell very well. |

Delete my question..........mys*&@^#r50 is ALWAYS two steps ahead of me! This answers my question, I thought that good looking guy looked familar :  Two more days and you see Adam!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited you are going to be there!!!! I told Kevin that you and I are going to get tattoos in June. Well, maybe get tattoos, he is starting to get nervous again :D His first response was "Mom, I don't think that is a good idea. You know they are permanent!" I reassured him it was going to be small. Then he said why do I have to be the kid that is always looking out for you????????? Remembered he was afraid I going to meet a psycho when I told him we were going to meet up. Then it ends up he thinks you are awesome!!!!!!! He is worried Dad will be upset, I am so not telling my husband until it is over. Hubby's biggest concern will be making sure establishment is sterile He (hubby) is a freaking worry wart! Now that I want to go get tattoos, he probably thinks I am LOONY again! Next time he says, "You know they are permanent." Tell him that's why now is perfect! Less years to live with it, if you don't like it! ;D He is thinking, "Why do you always do, questionable, things on my watch?" Perfect example, meeting an online friend, who indeed turned out very normal : Funny how our kids think they need to be caretakers for their parents when they are grown and have left home. I personally love it, particularly this one! He had both his father and me on our toes from day one! |
