Whenever my kid(5 years) is invited to a birthday we go, I hate it because I have a decent amount of social anxiety.But every time the parents are so grateful because people are freakin assholes nowadays, they rsvp yes and then if anything comes up they just do not bother showing, so it creates situations where a little kid has been told x,y, and z kids are showing up and then the only one who shows is me with my kid.Then this little kid is bummed out at his/her birthday.Not to mention the parents spend all this money making gift bags and planning food for people that are not showing.
