＜ Anne Banders' Advice -- Tiring Children ＞

[A]
Dear Anne,

At the age of 40, I'm finally going to graduate university with a long-awaited Ph.D. in business. To celebrate, I'm going to throw a party for myself, and have asked my family to attend. I would like my two sisters and several friends to come along.

My husband and I have never been able to have children. As a result, we've formed close relationships with other couples who - whether by choice or circumstance - are like us. My sisters, however, all have young children aged 10 or less. They insist that their children be invited to my party, too.

Anne, I won't be able to stand it. I love my sisters' children. But I know that, at some point, they will get tired, bored, and begin to cry. Then their parents will have to take them home. I would like to have a grown-up party, with music and mixed drinks, late into the night. I don't want to have to worry about the children, and whether they're being entertained. Is that asking too much?
-- Graduating in Galveston

[B]
Dear Graduating,

No, not at all. Adults are entitled to have parties without children around. Good, responsible parents know that children do not belong at parties where mixed drinks are served, and celebrations continue late into the evening. Tell your sisters that the party is adult-only but that you would still love them to come. If they refuse to attend, then so be it.
