As a working mom, it's where I get my intel on the goings on in the classroom/school.</p> <p>Oh, and my son loves them too, lol. We have a standard gift, I order multiples on amazon just to be prepared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-a-lot-of-birthday-parties#post-1946889 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 01:29:02 +0000 Freckles 1946889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, at least 2 a month. It is great because I use it as leverage when DD isn't listening to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-a-lot-of-birthday-parties#post-1946701 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 20:55:15 +0000 mrbee 1946701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: you're right, edited the post! Usually there's food for everyone though, which offsets the cost of the present... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-a-lot-of-birthday-parties#post-1946692 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 20:45:54 +0000 rachiecakes 1946692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's birthday season here - we've had four in the past month and two more before J's birthday 12-17. The holidays mixed in and it's just chaos, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-a-lot-of-birthday-parties#post-1946676 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 20:33:54 +0000 Mamaof2 1946676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: gosh I agree! In the summer I started rsvping no just because I couldn't afford all the gifts! There was 4 in one weekend!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-a-lot-of-birthday-parties#post-1946661 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 20:22:55 +0000 78h2o 1946661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A fair amount. The first weekend in Dec we have one on Sat and Sun, and then the weekend after, probably one for my daughter. But we haven't been to any since one in late October. I'd say it averages to one per month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-a-lot-of-birthday-parties#post-1946646 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 20:14:30 +0000 autumnlove 1946646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I love parties! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-a-lot-of-birthday-parties#post-1946642 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 20:11:14 +0000 Mae 1946642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>considering that you (i presume) have to buy a gift for each of these parties... not really free is it? Lol. </p> <p>but no. We're not really in the kids birthday party stage of life yet. Probably in a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-a-lot-of-birthday-parties#post-1946629 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 19:56:15 +0000 mrbee 1946629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got back from a birthday party! It was for an old daycare friend... the kids had a blast.</p> <p>With two kids (and both in preschool/school), we have a lot of birthday parties on our calendar! I don't love all the socializing with strangers required at bday parties (introvert here), but the kids have a ball! Plus it's cold out so having fun <strike>and free</strike> indoor events is a huge plus.</p> <p>Do you go to a lot of birthday parties? </p>
