Universal Duplicate calendar entries (as designed?)

[imahawki]

So my wife and I each have our own calendars and then a family calendar that is shared with the two of us and our oldest two kids. Then each of our kids has a calendar that she created and shared with me. That way when she adds "Softball 7pm" I know which kid based on which calendar she adds it to.

The problem is when she adds events to the shared kids' calendars it "invites" me and then when I accept it adds it to my calendar so now when I look at my calendar app I see both events. Is this how it supposed to work with shared calendars?

As I recall you don't need anyone invited on events on shared calendars--they just appear on the calendar and those that the calendar is shared with just see that event basically.

Does it happen like that if you're the one adding the event…does she get an invitation?

She's not somehow adding you as a "invitee", is she?
