Jeena Wilder is never leaving anyone behind.
The South Carolina social media star recently shared a video onTikTokandInstagramwhere she revealed that if one of her children gets invited to a birthday party, she brings the entire family. Wilder shares five children with her husband, ranging in age from 4 months to 9 years old.
“POV when you invite one of my children to a birthday party,” she wrote over the video as her family danced in a line. “You invite one child you get all of us… Don’t worry we bring awesome gifts.”
“If one of your children is invited to a birthday party does that mean all of your kids can go?” Wilder asked her followers in the caption.

“No. That’s so rude to me. If my child is friends w your child, through school, church, sports what have you ..and invites them to their bday party that doesn’t mean my child is inviting all your other children. That seems just very intrusive and entitled,” one person commented.
Another user added, “Haha I had no idea this was a thing! But if I was a parent and all the siblings showed up, as long as they were well behaved and polite I’d be so surprised but really happy they came too! The more the merrier right?!”
In her TikTok video caption, Wilder explained that she’s “team the whole family goes” but clarified her reasoning.
“My husband works a lot and most days it’s just me and the kids! I always RSVP or ask the parents first,” she wrote.

On Sunday, the mom of five toldTODAYthat she didn’t expect her stance to spark controversy on social media because it’s what she and her friends typically do.
“It’s a small group of friends where we all have multiple kids, but all of our kids are under certain age,” she explained to the outlet. “So we’re all like, ‘Hey, don’t you find it weird where your kid might get invited to a friend’s party that you don’t know the parents and how all the parents just dip and run?’ And I’m just like, ‘Yes!’ I always find that weird. Whenever I send out party invites, it’s always the whole family.”
Wilder added to TODAY that she’s “okay” if people don’t agree with her and that the only thing that matters is “respecting other people how they do it.”
“I’m totally fine with if people say no. I’m like, ‘Okay, I get it. I’m sorry… No hard feelings…’ " she said.
