Stop this nonsense. I don’t want to give up my Saturday afternoon for your kid. Let’s stop this charade. Have a little family party with your immediate family.

You want to stop kids from having birthday parties?

Did you run out of sand castles to kick down?

Couldn't find any lemonade stands to report?

Had my daughter’s birthday party at the house today. 10:30-12:30 and then politely GTFO my house. Have done the afternoon parties and it turns into an all day event. The pre-nap morning party is the way to go. Provided food and mimosas for the parents.

Ehh, I like them. Just make friends your kids friends parents. I went to one today and was friends with 6 of the parents, so we hung out and talked for two hours while the kids built Legos. Wasn't a bad two hours in my opinion.

I agree.
We take our kids on a weekend trip for their birthday.
Spent to much on parties when they were really little only to have no one show up ..

Why are you trying to cut into kids' gift streams?

Every weekend my kids have their kids at the Country Club or the Tennis Club or the Yacht Club for this stuff. I’m only on the hook to attend for the grandkids themselves and a few really close friends kids.

They generally last 2 to 3 hours.

I generally make a drive-by. The three Bs:
Be seen
Be nice
Be gone

I’d be pissed if I had to stay full duration and attend all of them.

Bitch
Don’t you choose what you do with your Saturdays not your child. When parents realize you are in control, this is not an issue.
You garbage parents your child’s life revolves around YOU not the inverse. You want to make a difference parent properly.

Birthday parties are great if you can drop your kid off and pick them up when it’s over.

If there's free alcohol at any party and decent food regardless of the occasion, I'm always in. Sounds like you need a chill pill.

I like to do an all day family trip for birthdays. We recently spent the day at the state park and had a picnic to celebrate a birthday for my brother's grandson. He got to bring a friend along.

We have my daughter’s party after thanksgiving dinner. Works out perfect and it’s all family. Her mom spends a fortune doing it at the trampoline park or chuckie cheese. Then asks if I’ll help….
