(I'm sure your memory is better than mine, these days)! ;)<BR/><BR/>A Friday or Saturday evening party would be fine but the late bell at school is at 8:05am. We TRY to get them to school by 7:50, which means I start waking them up at 6:30am. (It takes several attempts to actually get them out of bed--I am their version of a snooze bar)--so they need to get to bed on time at night.<BR/><BR/>I DID learn from another mom yesterday that not EVERY other girl went to the party! ;)<BR/>(I mentioned this to my daughter to try to help afterwards but was met with, "well, there were still only THREE of us that didn't get to go.")<BR/>It's never enough.LoryKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160339071841599529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13505255.post-64282373064380535452008-01-17T22:21:00.000-05:002008-01-17T22:21:00.000-05:00If it doesn't work for your family, it doesn't wor...If it doesn't work for your family, it doesn't work. I don't have kids in that age bracket, so I have no idea if this is how it's going these days. I don't remember going to evening parties as a kid, but I have a terrible memory.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901078065144634514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13505255.post-64547748422878103942008-01-17T08:59:00.000-05:002008-01-17T08:59:00.000-05:00Angela,Thank you for the solidarity and for stoppi...Angela,<BR/>Thank you for the solidarity and for stopping by my blog! I appreciate both!<BR/><BR/>Joey,<BR/>Yes, I agree--if it were OVER at 7pm, we still would have allowed her to go. But starting at 7? Nope.<BR/>She was NOT a happy camper after school--of course, all of the other girls were talking about how excited they were to be going that night and she felt left out. She was pretty mad for a while but seemed to get over it as dinner time approached.<BR/><BR/>Hubbie did not get home until 6ish. He found the invitation on the counter while N was upstairs and had the gall to say, "Guess we forgot about this. Can't believe she hasn't even mentioned it!"<BR/>(He wasn't home for the solid two hours of fallout from this!!)LoryKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160339071841599529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13505255.post-5903890531271375202008-01-17T08:36:00.000-05:002008-01-17T08:36:00.000-05:00I agree with you.

If it was 2 hours earlier, no big deal (if homework was done first and everything), but that is late for a school night for a party. I would think they would do it on the weekend or a Friday night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13505255.post-4928723974701669782008-01-16T22:20:00.000-05:002008-01-16T22:20:00.000-05:00I'm with you.

And there is NO WAY his mother or I would take him to a birthday party on a school night? Are you serious? I can just imagine how hyped the kids are when they come home. I think you're just being good parents, not unreasonable at all.-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874862189207055338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13505255.post-73927973201202626612008-01-16T19:09:00.000-05:002008-01-16T19:09:00.000-05:00Clearly, I am still sleep deprived.
