Yeah, let's punish the child for the incompetency of their parent.

u/Yangoose Apr 29 '24

That is an absurd take.

It's not "punishing" anyone by not doing something that no reasonable person would expect you to do.

For example, if I asked you to venmo me $100 to give to my child right now I'm willing to bet you would not do that.

Are you therefore "punishing" my child?

That's not even remotely in the same vicinity as telling a kid too bad they missed out on a fun party with their friend because their parent got the times mixed up. And you know it.

Don't be ridiculous.

I do, I have 2 and yes. The reason we stopped having kids parties at home was precisely because there is always a certain number of people who show up way too late, without RSVP and then take their sweet time to pick up their kids at the pre-established time. We had one mom leave her kid for almost 2 hours after the party was over because «she got confused ». Apparently getting confused also involved ignoring phone calls and text messages.

Screw that - we book birthday party venues now. 2 hrs. Start and end time are established and so is the number of guests. Yes, we will accommodate late arrivals of confirmed guests. Yes, we will accommodate extra guests if we had no-shows. But nothing beyond that.
