I would never go to a 3 year old birthday or have my kid go to one, unless it was a close friend and I do not have many close friends. Who the hell has a birthday party for a three year old and invites strangers?

lol newsflash, your kids are gonna have friends growing up with parents you may not know.

gtfo.

totally. kid in pre-k goes to school w/ nobody we really know.

I don't really see the issue with going to these though. Spend time with my kid, watch them intereract with their buddies, meet some new people. have some mediocre food It's not like you're getting a root-canal.

To me these things are the worst form of hell. It may sound callous, but I don't even go to my own son's birthday parties. Thank goodness we convinced him to go to NYC instead this year.

*I also recognize how lucky I an to have a very understanding and accepting wife. Many women wouldn't put up with this. But she does, and she enjoys doing the birthday thing.

You don't attend your own sons birthday parties?

How old is your son?

Classmates.

I would not go and neither would my kid.. In my opinion that is weird.

I have four kids. I know how it works. There is no three year old birthday party my kids are going to unless it is one of my friends kids.

* Edit to add I may even try to find a way out a friends 3 year old birthday party.

It is a close second. We are talking a three year old birthday. They are horrible.

I've only got the two kids... but I can project forward to 4 and I have a feeling I'd feel just as numb as you do.

With the two, I don't mind going at all.
