Why is that a good rule???? Seems kind of silly to me. So do you tell
any friends and family members with kids to leave them at home? We'd
never have parties in my family if anyone followed such a rule - there
are 20+ nieces and nephews to start, not to mention cousins' kids.


It's a good rule of thumb for everything EXCEPT family parties, where
you just have to invite the family -- no matter HOW big it is.

I'd agree with that, but modify "family" to "friends" as well. I like
Nan's distinction of 'friends-of-the-child' kids - and I presume few or
no parents? vs. kids of adult friends, where mom, dad, and kids are all
invited.
