I haven’t been following her much lately, so did she do bowling parties again this year with Easter eggs or are you talking about last year?
my son was 11 yesterday. He chose subway for dinner. I booked him and few best friends into the after dark disco at flipout. I made party bags with a big bag of haribo, big bar of cadburys and some inflatables, plus glow sticks I gave them at the disco, a small cake, brought some nibbles and brought them slushpuppies. Paid £13 each for the kids. They got 2.5 hours play instead of 1 hour play 45 mins party room at £20 a head. I would have wasted so much money had I invited 8 kids who wouldn’t eat the food offered (previous years I’ve had parties and most food gets binned) and they would have wanted to bounce longer than an hour. 1 hour isn’t enough. Parents were happy. Kids had the best time ever. My son said best birthday ever. Because I took him to flipout to do what he wanted and he chose where to eat and his day wasn’t dictated by younger sister I’m guessing! And at that age I think they begin to value quality friendships more so don’t need 8+ friends to go.
my daughter will get to pick her dinner and “party” when it’s her birthday and it won’t be dictated by my eldest. She will probably chose the farm or zoo! And she shall get.
It can be hard accommodating different interests with siblings, but it is actually exciting to be able to arrange things they really enjoy and to do different things with each of them. My son is sporty and gamey, my daughter is animal and makeup obsessed. Would never imagine making them do something the other sibling wants on their birthday!!!!

She’s making her life harder doing all 3 parties at once? Surely the parents aren’t sticking around at the party given the kids ages, and wonder off while the party is on. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for 3 groups of children that’s a lot to manage. Ffs Rhi let them just have a party on their birthdays separately and give their friends a bag of plastic tat or just give out a bag of haribo or chocolate if you don’t like plastic tat (which you do you are always in b&m buying plastic
tit tat)

Can you imagine turning up to a bowling alley in February with 20 Easter eggs
what a nut case. How did she carry them all? She could have brought 20 bags of haribo and fit them in one bag! Dyingggg.

Why has she got them the same Easter eggs for Easter? Surely they have different preferences and all part of the fun is buying for each individual.
