Birthday party etiquette for twins.

My son, who is turning 14 on Sunday, invited 12 of his friends from school over tonight for a sleepover pizza/birthday party. I figured that out of the 12 he invited, at least a few wouldn't be able to make it. The last few years he has only invited 6 or 7. Can you believe that all 12 showed up! The noise level is ridiculous, but everybody is having a lot of fun. Gonna go take some pictures in a minute. ...

Recently My Granddaughter who is now 20 attended a PWOP birthday party where everyone paid for their own food. Most birthday patys I know of, no matter what the age, the host/hostess provides the food.Have You done it? heard about it? what do You think?I guess I still have a lot of my Mother inside of me. She would have Never ask nor accepted money for a "social " get togther. She would have said "Bless Your heart, You keep it Yourself", this is My party.She told me that PWOP stands for "Party W ...

My son's best friend is at our house quite a bit, along with other kids, we have kind of an open door policy with the kids friends. The BFF of my son, this kid has zero etiquette and I'm not sure if I should say something to him or if that would make him feel bad or embarass him. He is an only child, being raised by his grandparents and they do tend to spoil him. At my house, like this weekend, I had a pack of 10 hotdogs that I cooked for 5 kids that were over. ...

Just wondering what you ladies (or guys) thought about this. My two kids generally have company over A LOT. I have always had a policy that if I buy for one, I buy for all (meaning treats and such) while they are over at my house. Well, my son has a friend, the boy is 13 and about a year ago his mom walked out, left the dad to raise him and since that time the dad has really spoiled the boy probably because of the situation or whatever. When the boy's mom left, he st ...

ARGH!!!! Lady sitting next to me was QUITE LARGE. She occupied all of her seat and a portion of mine. when that happens, they ought to have to buy 2 seats to accommodate their large body habitus. while waiting in line for bathroom, 2 ladies cut in line in front of me. Yes, I did confront them and asked them to go to the end of the line and wait like the rest of us. to which they replied "well everyone else is doing it." I replied that "no, in fact, you are the onl ...

When dining out at a restaurant like Red Lobster, Macaroni Grill, Carrabas, etc., where they give you a basket of bread on the table with the meal and will refill at request, is it acceptable or unacceptable to request an extra loaf to go with your doggie bag? ...

I met a guy a year ago right after I separated from my husband & dated him a few times - he really liked me, but I decided I wasn't ready to get serious with anyone. Fast forward to a year later. We have reconnected and have been talking on the phone and texting. He is very nice and intelligent and attractive to me in many ways. EXCEPT over the course of this year he has gotten a pretty good sized cavity on one of his top canine teeth. He has a good job... I ...

My friend is having her second baby and she decided that I should throw her baby shower this time. I said sure and I suggested a diaper shower since this is her second baby in a relatively short period of time (2 years) and she has found out she is having the same sex, so in my mind at least, she already has all the "stuff." She seemed very offended by this, so fine I decided to call it a baby shower and let people decide on their own. Now my friend has taken to checking in wit ...

Need ideas for a cute baby shower gift for twin girls without spending a fortune! TIA! ...

We're going to a wake tonight for a friend who died unexpectedly. He leaves behind his wife and two small children. I was thinking of writing out a check to include in the card but everything I've read lately says this is a no-no. I know his wife doesn't make much so I'd really like to help out any way I can but I don't want to offend anybody. I was wondering what others normally do with sympathy cards at a wake. Thanks. ...

Her birthday, incredibly, is October 26. She just might end up with one whopping big birthday present. Karmic upheaval for sure. ...

Three of my kids celebrate birthdays this month. One turns 14, one 11 and one 4. It is like Christmas time around here. lol... Where does the time go? ...

May your 51st bring you the best belated B-day gift ever....many happy election returns this fall, all wrapped up neat and tidy in a big shiny blue satin bow. ...

Here's how my b-day went. Got up early to work. Had work today, so not complaining about that, but was working on my b-day, instead of doing something nice for me. I sat and thanked God at least I had work, and told myself its just another day. Then taxes were due. We owe. Lovely! Husband slept all day. While I'm glad I had work, I would have loved to be sleeping all day. Heard him snoring all the way to the other side of the house. Lovely! ...

Reading the obit column this morning from my home town. There was a lady who was killed about a month or so ago. She must have been well loved because so many have posted about her. This morning I am reading again and she is wished a "Happy Birthday." i see this time and time again in the papers and wondering, how do you have a happy birthday when deceased? I think writing something in rememberence about the person a much better way than wishing them a happy. ...

My son and DIL want to have my their son's third B-day party at my home this year. This is the first time that I have my g-baby in town (they are a military family) for his birthday and I am going all out. My daughter is coming in to town too, so it's doubly sweet for me as both my son and daughter hardly ever are able to visit at the same time. I'm so excited, BUT... my very estranged ex also lives in my town. He is a pot head, big drinker, crude, rude, c ...

Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz introduced Mayor Bloomberg for his annual State of the City address. In honor of Bloomberg's birthday: "And that’s what makes today so hard, what do you get the man who has everything? Everything – I thought long and hard. A cake? Mayor, I tried to bring a cake from Junior’s but they wouldn’t let me. A bottle of wine? I can’t afford what you drink. Nets tickets? Guess what, he’s already got a box. A plane ride? Hey, he flies himself ...

I feel so soiled. The TV said Mrs. Rmny was delighted when she attacked her. Why do the politician not just say what they think. It is like your husband. You always have to guess what he really wants because when you ask he says everything is fine ...

My friends' little baby girl is having her first birthday next month, and I was invited to her birthday bash! I don't have kids, and am pretty clueless as to what would be a good gift idea for her. Does anyone have any ideas for something that would be fun (and safe!) for Baby, and/or useful for Mom? Or something for both of them? Meerkat =^..^= ...

I've been sitting her bawling all night, crappy job, crappy life. Can't wait to retire, just over 2 years to go but who's counting. ...

Hi All - I'm looking for a birthday cake recipe, white or chocolate - doesn't matter, for my mother's birthday this weekend. Does anyone have any that are relatively easy for someone who has never baked a birthday cake (not even from a box!) in her life? Frosting suggestions welcome also! Thanks in advance for any help with this one! It's been so crazy around here that I forgot to order one. Call me the terrible daughter. ...

Let me give some background on this guy. He is a very shy, not wanting to have surprises, do not buy him anything stay in the background type of person. He is turning the big 60 at the start of this next month. We go out to dinner quite frequently. He does love food and good food, not your average McDonald's or Burger King type man. He really has no special restaurant he likes above others although we both like Carrabba's. I would like to have something a little different than our usua ...

It's been fun to watch the media discuss the border crisis in real time, improvising their arguments on the fly. Let's try A, and if that doesn't work, we'll try B. First, they said there was no surge at the border -- it was a phony crisis manufactured by the Drudge Report. The facts on the ground quickly made that argument inoperable. Next, liberals told us these "undocumented migrants" (the PC phrase for "illegal aliens" -- because we'll never figure out what t ...

A boy whose letter to President Trump made national headlines last month reportedly wanted a pro-Trump cake for his birthday party, but his mother was unable to find a baker willing to fulfill the order. At the July 26 White House press briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a letter from a boy named Dylan who said Mr. Trump was his favorite president. When she later released the letter publicly, the boy’s last name was blacked out. The only identifying clue was that everyone ...

I hope with everything I have in me that the Tea Party does not represent the Republican Party. This is what the Tea Party stands for. They are full of vitriole and hatred. This is not what the Republican party stands for. See comments by Republican Party of Orange County Chairman Scott Baugh, "It's just highly inappropriate, it's a despicable message, it drips with racism and I think she should step down from the committee," said Baugh. "Davenport, a tea party activist, represents t ...
