do your kids come in handy for others?

[jeanie]

My kids seem to be hits at birthday parties..they all get invited and just one or two other kids..I guess its easy for moms to have my three come and then just one or two other kids..thats only three invites to send out!!
we love birthday parties..kid fun and parent happy hour..No booze of course but who cares food and chat is just fine with me. Are your multiples handy for other moms too?

We're opposite :snicker:

Our family is handy for other people.... what's a couple extra to a full house? We'll send ALL the kids over and call it a playdate instead of babysitting since there's someone of every age here anyway.

We don't get invited to too many other people's houses though. Too many kids. We do get invited at the last minute to parties or barbques that flop :snicker: People invite a ton of people (but not use :rolleyes:) and if noone shows up they are stuck with a dead party and tons of food so they call and say 'they wanted to PERSONALLY invite us... :blablabla:' mmhmm... your party flopped and you don't want your kid to think noone likes them so you invite a big family to boost the numbers. :aok:

If we're not busy we go, if we don't feel like it we don't and I tell them it would have been useful to know in advance.
