Before I say &#39;yes&#39;, I want to know who else will be there

I think maybe they need to learn to get along with others. But then they're teenagers so what else can you say?

Often those who won't attend functions where their 'enemies' will be is mostly because that person is more of a bully than anything else

Babies are always cute. That is a shame about people not being open to others, but I have to admit one of the reasons I left Bunco was I was uncomfortable with one of the players who used to live on this street .and her hubby was really nasty to me.on at least one occasion.

Fair enough and I can imagine a group of teenage girls being really catty too. It's a great shame the guy felt the need to be nasty to you.

That grin on one of them sure seems forced. Someone must have asked that kid to say cheese

My husband would do that as he had definite likes and dislikes

I get both sides to this. I can go and be polite but there is a sister that will cause issues and I will not go if she is there. It's my way of keeping the event smooth.

@JudyEv I agree. I don't do that myself. I usually know if my sister will be at an event since the hosts usually posts to us who all is going or it's one I know she will not miss.

Fair enough I guess but to go to the trouble of ringing the hostess and checking out who'll be there and who won't seems a bit over the top.

I would have thought you'd either accept an invitation or say no, thanks - not check up on who is going and who isn't. But times change, don't they?

You can always go and if there is someone you do not like there. Go ahead and ignore that person or say your not feeling good and leave.

They look adorable, love this photo. I am thankful that there was a little chance when I was a teenager, as that is how I met my husband, I did not know him previous to meeting him at a very small gathering. But it worked in my favour.

I wouldn't have dreamt of sussing out the guest list before going to a function. I'd just be thrilled to get an invite.

That's a lovely story of how you met your husband. You've written about it in more detail before.

I knew I'd put the photo up before but those kids are so different, it's hard to believe they're siblings.

I just can't imagine not going to a party because someone you don't like might be there.

The children are really cute and sweet. Parties nowadays are becoming occasions to spite people you don't like. I therefore avoid those parties where I can sense negative attitude.

@MarieCoyle It seems very pretentious to me to check beforehand on who'll be there but I can understand from reading the responses that it might be a good thing. But these are just teenage girls and all friends with one particular girl so to me it seems a bit 'off'.

@JudyEv Exactly. Not everyone is going to get along with everyone else. Out of respect for the person extending the invitation, if a person goes they need to be civil and pleasant. It's their choice to go or stay home, after all.

Sweet kids as kids appear generally, easy to please too. I am a bit circumspect attending parties and look for telltale signs to mingle with those that are more aligned to my way of thinking. I do not ask who else are invited but I will be ready mentally to face or even avoid a few!
