Watching a birthday party go down at the dc. I feel like the mom had it at the dc so that she wouldn't have to set up/clean up and so that she wouldn't have to deal with the kids or pay for a place. She hired a freaking clown to come in. I really don't think this is a good idea. The kids are going to think this is going to happen on all the birthdays now. Plus, the dad (I'm assuming that is who the man on the camera is) brought in a giant bag and the boy is opening it there. It's filled with toys. I really don't think this is cool at all, but maybe it's a UO. I mean, none of his classmates brought him gifts. I didn't even know it was his birthday. The gift bag should have been left for at home. Yeah, that's not cool. Bring treats in for your kids birthday? Sure. Have their party at daycare? Nope octopus.

The teacher told me it was going to happen and I'm really surprised the office let the mom do it. She was talking about face painting and pinatas and shit. I was like, what? You can't do that. Not at dc. Idk, it's just weird to me.

Like you said, all the kids will expect that for their birthdays.

klong11, I have never heard of a bday party like that at daycare. That's bizarre. So like, did the mom and dad take off work for that? Weird.

No freaking way to bringing the kid's birthday gifts to school. At least around here, kids open their presents after their parties when they get back home, to avoid the other kids feeling left out/jealous. It's so bizarre.

slenle, the mom and dad are there, but on their phones. I've never seen the mom not on her phone.

I’m cracking up at klong11 day care stalking. But if our day care had that I’d probably be the same exact way. And a big fat no to a party like that at day care. Doesn’t seem like any of that should be allowed.

Doesn’t seem like any of that should be allowed. Anytime I hear something out of the ordinary is going to happen, I jump on the camera. There were kids crying because of the clown. ETA: I also wanted to make sure this woman's entire extended family didn't show up. I don't know these people and I didn't want my kid around a bunch of strange adults without me there. "Strange" meaning strangers, not odd.

klong11 that is a bit much. A parent did bring in the hottest kid magician in town for his kids b-day and apparently it was the best ever. This dad also has the rec room named after him since he paid for it, so I think he gets to use it as he sees fit. I thought it was fine, but gifts and all is nuts. I haven't been to a kid party where gifts are even opened there, and most say no gifts these days in our group.

peachsmama my SIL loves Five Crowns, my sister’s fam loves Tenzi, and Farkle is popular in my friends circle. I love scene it (all varieties). Oh another fun game, if you have an amazon fire stick, is You Don’t Know Jack.

Arghhhhh!! I'm so sorry snoopmommymom. I keep thinking of Z's poor gorgeous tresses. klong11, team weird. It could have been laziness on behalf of the parents or maybe they just thought this way their kid would get to celebrate with all of their friends and no hassle for the parents to try to make it to a party, but either way, not a good plan.

In deep with holiday cards...I think in doing minted but pretty sure I've thrown out coupon codes assuming I wasn't using them. Anyone have any floating around?
Why is it such a hard decision for me on cards? I have legit 10 drafted right now.

I think that might've been 20% off. Just Google minted and promo code and you should find stuff, especially on a site like retail me not

We got our tree. It was pricey and better not die before Christmas like ours did last year! Nothing puts a damper on Christmas spirit like taking your tree down before Christmas day.

snoopmommymom I'm so sorry, that really sucks. klong11 that's obnoxious. I remember a mom at daycare when DS1 was there giving every kid a live fish. On T's birthday, I sent a box of donuts.

Scene from dinner tonight: “Mommy, look, playdoh!” As she shows me the wad of gum she just pulled out from under the table at chipotle. 😷

Foiled! 20% is like borderline discount for me, and I know there have been some good ones recently (shaking first at self). Oh well, I'll take it.. Need to get these ordered tonight.

I'm taking a half day tomorrow so I'm staying up late watching Floribama Shore. Because I needed another shitty reality show in my life 😲
