This is OP. This is basically what I'm planning to do. I may just "forget" to respond to her text. If she shows up and stays, fine, but I'm not there to entertain her.

Actually, maybe you do need to invest all of your time and effort into catching up with your two friends. Because it sounds like those might be the only two friends you’ll have left after this party.

You are a bad person and you are teaching your child to be a bad person.

OP has to be a troll. I simply cannot believe there are still mothers around here who actually think and behave like this. If not, do not worry OP, this mom sounds like a normal person so likely does not want anything to do with you and your girlfriends and will be much happier when you do ignore her.

Why would you need to entertain her? You may be incapable of taking care of yourself emotionally, but don’t apply that to other people. This mom sounds emotionally mature enough to think of other people (her son); she’s likely completely capable of hanging out in the corner with a book or on her phone unless he needs her.

We didn’t need the parents to do anything other than show up with food, pay and tip, and take the garbage bags full of gifts out to the car.

And what did you do if one of those kids started bawling that he’s not having fun and wants to go home or just left the “activity” to sit with the grown ups? You either ignored the kid or passed him on to the host to deal with. This is what the mother is trying to avoid for her kid that OP does not seem to realize.

I guess it depends on the place. I've been to parties where the employees just show up to serve the food, but they don't do anything as far as helping to supervise the kids.

LOL. Why do people expect OP to babysit this random lady? The fact is there are many socially awkward DCUMers that probably want to be spoonfed by a host and demand they be included. OP has every right to enjoy her party- the weird mom of the weird kid can sit in the corner quietly and read if she wants, but no one should give her even a moment of thought!

Oh my god. As a mom of a “passing” NT kid, this is heartbreaking. OP, you don’t know what you don’t know! Just be gracious FFS.

Weird mom and weird kid just shouldn’t come. Why did you invite the whole class OP?

Thanks for showing your ignorance.

God, what a walking trash bag you are. Never matured beyond 8th grade. I’m so embarrassed for you.

Wow OP is really immature. Instead of ignoring the mom why don't you just let her knkw your kid has no idea who her anxious 7 yo son is and that you plan on ignoring in real life. Grow a pair

Oh, Bull! OP is not giving into all the whining moms about their snowflakes. If your 8 year old cannot attend a birthday party and behave then you haven't done your job as a parent.

Do you not realize that there are special needs kids in every elementary school classroom these days? If you have a class party, there will be children who need extra support. I’m not sure if you don’t understand that or if you think those kids don’t deserve to be included in birthday parties with your precious perfect children.

Why can you not respond to the mom OP? Why are you so passive aggressive?
