Помогите решить! На день рождения к подруге (май) пригласили, а у неё ещё брат (январь) и сестра (март). Подарок только имениннице или всем?
Sooo my oldest kiddo got invited to one of her besties birthday party in a month. Now this is a wwyd situation.
Details:The messy mom (I've written about her before lol) is hosting an all siblings birthday. This is wild to me because yes I've heard of combo birthdays before but they're usually in situations where they are close together... These kids have birthdays MONTHS apart. Kiddos bestie is in May, older brother (11) is in January, and the younger sister (8) is in March. Now I've known this family for years. The younger sister I've literally saw her in diapers at prek pick up. But I'm not close with either parent to a point where we talk outside of arranging pick up and drop offs to my house (my daughter has never been to this friends house in 7+ years but that's another situation).
So my dilemma, do I get all the kids gifts since technically I know them. I was thinking small gift cards for the siblings and then my usual $50 budget for bestie. My husband says no way since kiddo is only a guest of bestie technically. Party is at a park so there really won't be any kind of separation for the kids from my understanding. Kiddo didn't go to bestie's party last year because the invite was super late and I had a wedding to attend so idk if messy mom follows etiquette about opening gifts in private. I don't want kiddo to feel awkward if other kids call her out about not getting siblings gifts but my husband doesn't see it that way and thinks i just need to send one gift for her bestie.So...wwyd?

Let me add brodys best friend has 7 other siblings and his other best friend has five other siblings and they are cousins so it's always big party's for multiple kids. We have known all the kids since they were babies. Brody only buys for the two kids he is close to. Yes he knows the others but he's not friends with them.
Ummm.. 3 kids is alot to buy for lol but when my daughter got invited to a sibling party I got gifts for both of them. My daughter is close to the girl but they had a joint bday with her brother since their bdays are close and my daughter knows him. I thought it'd be weird/rude not to get them both a gift since the invitation said she's invited and had both their names on it lol. Idk though...3 children are a lot to buy for. Me personally probably wouldn't go lol but if I did I would probably get the other two siblings a LITTLE gift...just like a card with a $10 gift card and her bestie whatever she planned on getting her 🤷🏾♀️
I was in this situation once and brought a small gift for the sibling. It wasn’t necessary or expected though. If it’s a joint party, each sibling will have their own friends to invite and bring them gifts. You’re not responsible for bringing each of them a gift, especially if your child is only friends with one of them.
I guess I’m the odd one out. I would buy for each kid. The bestie gets more than the other 2 tho.
My daughter’s friend used to have shared birthday parties with her brother and I always bought him a gift.
This is where I'm at because I know the kids plus I'm terrified the other kids will be rude and say something to kiddo. She'll be mortified and never forgive me lol
I would only give to the one she is friends with.
I agree with the others just buy one for her bestie
You buy just for her friend. The family can buy for each kid. I'm with your husband!
She can personally get a gift for her bestie. No issue with that.
This mom said eff this economy and simplified birthday parties lol. I love it.
I mean I get it but these birthdays are so spread out! Like were the kids told they had to wait 3-6 months to celebrate lol
@massgirl, probably. Maybe they had a mini celebration.
You were invited due to bestie. Buy for
Bestie. It’s ridiculous to expect everyone to bring 3 gifts. Hell I’d have the flu that day. That sounds like pure chaos.
It will be pure chaos knowing this mom and all the different ages lol
I would only buy for bestie. Others who were invited for the other kids will buy for them
