IF you still want to go, honestly, I would just call "Uncle Neighbor" (LOL!) and ask him point blank - "DH and I were talking and we were wondering if this is a kid friendly get together?" Just put it out there...even though it had already been established?
We make sure (sure sure) before we bring our kids - for the host/hostess, but mainly for our family's comfort level. Who gives a hoot if he has the best apps in town if you are uncomfortable because E is being a toddler, KWIM? This is just us, but we decline almost anything that isn't family friendly.
And if he says he would prefer no kiddos, I would politely decline with the no sitter route.
I am with you on if it is casual apps, who cares?? His attitude would have put me off enough to decline.
