One of my good friends scheduled her child's birthday party at 6 pm on a weeknight. She did this because it is the discount night at the venue. She scheduled it at 6 so working parents could come.
My child goes to bed at 6:30 these days. We have to keep her on a fairly strict bedtime schedule because we get her up early for daycare. If we keep her up too much later it really screws her up the next day.
My DH just wants to decline the invite. He says she should understand, considering her family missed 3/4 of our daughter's party because it interfered with nap time. I want to compromise and say I will stop by and drop off a present and say hello. But I don't know what to say to my friend as to why my daughter will not be attending?
Why not the truth? My mother always told me if you tell the truth you on't ever have to remember anything else.
