Hosting a child’s birthday party is more exhausting than you think it would be. Baraged by the choices of party favors in the decor aisle of the store, you start to question whether your kid’s favorite thing right now is Paw Patrol or Fairy Princesses. As you second guess if you even know your child or not, your phone is ringing off the hook from that cake you ordered, your mother-in-law RSVPing (again), and your eldest child texting you to see if they can get out of balloon duty.
The last thing a mom should worry about when planning their kid’s party is another mom, a rando parent they’ve never met, begging them for a ride. Sorry, lady, I’ve got enough on my plate right now, and piling on an extra helping of altruism isn’t making the load any lighter. Grow up and figure it out on your own.
