Admin please move this post to right corner if i have listed it in wrong topics in case.....
Humanity?
I wanted to just share ....

we got introduced to a new friend who lives 3 blocks away from our house.... husband and wife are non indians and both are from different origin....
we invited them once for lunch and had a very nice company and talks went on and they stayed back for dinner as well on one fine sat.... we had very nice time no question about that....

another one fine day this wife meets me at a grocery store and says hi and leaves in a hurry mode..... may be some thing she needs to catch up with ....... fine....

now this couple has sent an evite for son\'s bithday party inviteing 6 families, it says due to limited seating only one parent can come for the birthday party and the party is a hiking program in a park and added to this it says after hiking food will be followed and next to that it says TBD  so food is TBD .... I totally did not understand what does that mean....
see there is a cultural difference right ..... may be now

one of the family who was invited replies telling we will get our other kids along with us, don\'t worry about the food please we will get our own lunch ....

Now totally i do not understand what I should reply to this evite....they are not a people to hate or no enemy feeling .... although they are nice people just something like humanity is missing is what i feel, i could be wrong too as different culture has different approach....
any clue what will you do in such a situation?
Bring it on...

hi tara,
ok TBD means \"to be determined\" it just means they havent decided what food to serve. hiking food is like trail mix, hot dogs, easy stuff so expect something like that. in my opinion they are being very kind, they invited you and your child to the hiking trip even thuogh there is limited seating, and are going to serve food apropriate to the occasion. im not sure why you are upset but i think you should go and have fun!! :)

thanks for your opinion Deepa and HPG777,

deepa your opinion makes me think ....I can not avoid them as his kid is a good friend of my kid, what wrong did kids do to cut their friendship off...

HPG777, usually when we plan for a any party first thing is to get a list of items/food to be served in the party here i agree it is hiking, so food can be hot dog chips etc..... but it should not say TBD it is kind of un-certain,  that\'s the reason it encouraged another family to reply that they will get lunch for their own family.
Also 6 families is the invite for, and when they say only one parent can attend THEN? really where is the fun? fun/enjoyment is with Family and friends ALWAYS and ALWAYS.... that too Family comes first.... HPG777 i am not upset, BUT I don\'t know what to decide up on ....
Good for giving out options i still did not get an answer. lease bring it on.....

Dear Tara,If these people can not leave their attitude(If i may call it) or straight Forward nature,then you should also not leave your down to earth or philanthrope nature........Let them do what they feel is good and you continue what you feel is good for humanity and your Kid too..........
