Why would they get offended? There is nothing to take offense to.

I just walked into a Walmart three days ago and picked one up off the rack. There were still some there yesterday as well.

The car thing just shows that The Flash is impulsive. It wasn’t the best solution, but it was his first and since he’s got the speed to do it, he could still do it.

Giving some benefit of the doubt, Flash running through the explosion grabbing the fragments MIGHT have dissipated the shockwave.

How so? I didn’t tell them NOT to come, nor did I say I expect them to get the kids something. I’m simply letting them know and they can come or give gifts if they want, but they are in no way obligated to do either. That was more the point...don’t feel obligated.

Not our experience. Actually, our first was the only one to have a real birthday party for their first birthday. There was so much hassle, we didn’t enjoy ourselves, and he won’t remember any of it...we decided to just do family for their first few birthdays and not waste the time and money. Didn’t get to socialize…

I only said they might want to. I don’t care if they come or don’t or if they buy a gift or not either. It’s their call, but I just let them know so they don’t get mad at me for not letting them know.

A) I don’t send invites. If I did, it would be immediate family and friends of the kids...not everybody in my damned contacts list.

Yeah, I feel you’re the minority honestly. I hate kids parties and when we had kids, we literally NEVER had any of our old friends try and spend time with us post-kids. Instead, we made new friends who had kids.

I didn’t feel left out when people didn’t invite me. Honestly, last thing I want to do is attend a kids party even when I’m just taking my kids. Kids birthdays suck as an adult.

No, it’s a courtesy. Honestly, I’d prefer you NOT come AND don’t get them anything, but for whatever reason people get butthurt if you don’t invite them even if they hate every minute of it...

Honestly, I feel like inviting adults to a kids party is just the worst. I hated it and I hate that my wife tends to do it. For me, I’d prefer the kids’ friends and close family only.

I said MIGHT. Its your call and I honestly don’t care, just letting you know just in case.

I do...clearly makes no difference...

Honestly, I feel a lot of it is a holdover from the old etiquette of invites, thank you cards, etc. that’s just not practical any more. We have actually recently went to electronic invites via email, Facebook, text, etc., but the irony is that despite the convenience (and even built-in calendar aspects of Facebook in…

I’m a parent and I hate when my wife does that.

As a parent myself, think you could have a dialog with my wife?

No, I do not want to come to your dry party for kids. Stop inviting me and making me feel bad for not wanting to sit there and soberly listen to people talk about their children when I have none—all while kids scream in the background.

Yeah, but knowing that, I am able to consciously change my perception of the colors. I can force myself to see either color combination, just as I was with the dress.

This seems more like retroactive credit claiming. I know people back in the day loved to hate on Pokemon Go. To now give them validation to that hate...seems too perfect.
