IIf your older child received an invitation to a birthday party at lunchtime on Mothers Day, what would you think?

3rdtimer - 1021 days ago Oh yeah and it is a drop-off type party for 8-year-olds. I love the suggestion of flowers or margarita mix for me!! :)

3rdtimer - 1021 days ago Thanks for your lovely comments ladies :) It was actually me that sent the invites... my eldest was born around Mothers Day so it's always a problem finding a date for a party. And this time we honestly didn't realise until after we'd sent the invites, since it's not really an event we make much of in our family. One mother replied and was a little abrupt about the fact her son couldn't make it because it was mothers day, and I got a bit defensive. But I realise now that many families do have commitments on that day. Anyway it was the only day we could do for many reasons so we've changed the party to be from 9-11 in the morning. I'm hoping that fits into more people's plans and that mums can see it as a bit of a welcome break like some of you said :)

Usually my Dh get my kids up ealry on mothers day and takes em out so I can sleep in peacefully and i get gifts when they get back. SDince Dh cant cook they dont attempt the breakfast thing lol

RobinG - 1021 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm thinking the mother either didnt realize it was mothers day weekend or thought maybe she was doing moms and dads a nice favor by having that day so kids were out of house for a nice break. (assuming it is a drop off party and not one where mom has to stay) I wouldnt ever book one on that day or invite kids over for a party since I'd assume they have plans but if my kiddos got an invite and we were done with our celebrations I'd let them go ~

wisfarmgirl - 1021 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I would think, lets have a special breakfast, and then I get a break. LOL!

GoonieMomma - 1021 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Poor kiddo, that his/her birthday falls on such a sacred day to us Mommas! My guess is this date just worked out for the Mama. I would also make sure to bring something for her, like a couple of home-picked flowers, a nice candle, etc. With all the hubub, do you think her husband/kid's dad is going to remember her on Mother's day? Likely not. Or maybe bring some "only mamas margarita mix" to celebrate?

LilyPants - 1021 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I would think as long as you all don't have plans to do anything until later in the day, I'd think it would be ok, as long as the child was home by a certain time. But it's up to you.

rosye13 - 1021 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'd definitely be sad about it. I'd understand why the child would want to go and I wouldn't expect them to understand, but on Mother's Day I just want to be with my babies and marvel at how amazing it is to be their mother. So if one of them wasn't there, it would make me really sad.

Its-Chelle - 1021 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i would let my kids go, they are older and dont like to sit home and we dont do anything on mothers day anyhow..plus its more peace and quiet for me if they got invited somewhere..lol but if we had plans, i would say no..

happyforest - 1021 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) well i would never plan anything on mothers day bc i would expect people to have plans....but if my child got invited somewhere i would let them go.

STCT - 1021 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm not sure what I would think about it, I do know I would never plan anything like that on Mother's Day.

xolblondieox - 1021 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) OMG, how rude! Even if the kid was born on Mother's Day, you do not celebrate it (with friends) on that day! Countless times as a kid, my birthday would fall on a weekday, and we'd wait until a weekend to have friends over, or the following week in some instances. My child would soooo not be going and I'd have to tell that mom that she's freakin crazy...unless she's handing out a gift to me too lol!

mellowyellow - 1022 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My sister was born on Mothers day, so every so often her birthday would again fall on Mothers day. So from my point of view no problem! We r celebrating her birthday on Mothers day, just incorporating it as well:)
