A great reminder that everyone shows and accepts love differently and that we each have our own “love language”

Comment on Ban the goodie bag! by Shannon

I really can’t answer… we asked for no gifts at our party. But when it comes to kids with Autism, presents, wrapping paper, etc can be overwhelming and lead to difficulties.

So maybe, just maybe, there is a reason behind this.

I have a question about gift opening. I was at a party recently and the kid (3 years old) did not open gifts at the party. When I asked, I was told this was the norm. Is that true? What happened to the idea of opening gifts and thanking the giver?

Haven’t even had a chance to go through this blog, but, I love your work, and look forward to sitting down with the material when I get a break. Shannon, you have motivated and shaped my conversation with my own clients on the importance of PR. Overall, I recommend you just as much as I recommend any other expert with tons of experience – and am always confident when I do that I am sending people to a solid resource.

All the best,

What ever happened to good old-fashion fun? Stand your ground Shannon – parents do not have to follow the lead of some parents who started this goodie bag trend. I know I live in the boonies and my children are grown now, but we never did that (thank goodness). Birthday parties are still simple here (I think – maybe I should check it out). Someone has to stand up to what sounds like an unrealistic and frivolous expectation these days. Let’s simplify!

OMG … I haven’t done birthday parties in years (our older kids are 22, 20, 18, and 16) but this July will be our new baby’s FIRST bday party! YAY!!! I’ve been stressing about it too … I know .. it’s not until July, right? And he’s only a baby still … Okay, we have friends with older kids and I’ve been freaked out about what to do for them .. but then I started thinking … Um … this is William’s day, not theirs. We’re inviting our friends and their kids to celebrate with us … to share HIS First birthday …so we are having a bbq with cake and (thank you Felicia) I am coming up with a crafty little item for the kids to make that they can use. And for the parents? well I will be taking lots of pictures and then I am posting them up to my Kodak share, making a virtual book and emailing them all the link. if they want a copy they can buy one. …. We may even make the BBQ a pot luck … wouldn’t that be a hoot!

thanks for the post! You rock!!!

Shannon, first I am sending you lots and lots of hugs!!! Second, it’s been a long time that I read a post that just pulled at my heart strings .. not out of sympathy or pity, but out of “OMG I SO UNDERSTAND!!!!!” my 16 year old is ADHD … much better now that he’s in a better school and in the right programs and NOT on meds either YAY … I have an out of control 18 yr old, a 22 yr old who is just not having any luck finding work and my 20 yr old is a full time student, working a full time job and living on her own … oh and we have a 7 month old too … LOL I have bad days regularly .. and I feel just like you do. and I also feel the guilt of feeling like that … and yes, I also get to the point that I realize what a great family I have .. it could be worse!

I am glad this was your first post reviving your mommy inc blog! Because it shows that you are a real person, a real mom, not just a pretty face in a newsletter telling all the rest of us about being great entrepreneurs …

Now the pep talk! You got beautiful girls, you have a great husband, and you are so inspirational!!! Here’s another hug ((hugs)) Keep on keepin’ on!!!

I’m with you on Ban the Goody Bags!

Because every party our kids get invited to have included these wretched bags of junk, I’ve felt just slightly compelled to allow the kids to go home with SOMETHING. That’s why at my girls’ parties I include time for a craft of some sort and THAT’S what they get to take home. To make it feel more goody-bag-like I even put the tools for the craft into a little white or brown paper sack (available from stores like Michaels and JoAnn’s 8 for $1). Sometimes I even write the kids names on them.

When my younger daughter turned 7 on December 21, we threw her a party at a local ice cream shop. The ice cream shop did everything — including a craft they could take home when finished and gave the kids a coupon for free ice cream when they came back (brilliant marketing! The kid gets free ice cream but the rest of the family has to buy theirs! Love it!)

I would much prefer not to have my kids receive the bags-o-junk at parties. Yuck-o.

Congrats on the new & improved blog. LOVE it sister!
Felicia
