Everyone hates that mom who is a drama queen about having a baby, especially when it isn't her first parenting rodeo. Most people with more than one kid schlep the babies around and suck it up.

How is she a princess? I have one kid and I regularly take classmates to parties like this, because the other kids have siblings at home. She has an infant at home and her husband is overseas right now. I'd double my outreach to take their kids when things like this occur. She's not a princess. She's human.

I do. He outgrew the other over the winter. I haven't bought another yet. But in this situation, I'd also stop at Target or Walmart on the way to the beach to get another.

Because kids lose shit all the time and you don't want to have to worry about making a Target run at an inopportune time?

Well, based on the "analysis" we receive from people in field of mental health (part of my job), somehow the blame will fall on the swimsuit manufacturer for not making each suit unique enough to distinguish one from the next.

b/c if you're away for SEVERAL days who wants to spend time washing/rinsing a suit and waiting for it to dry? Take the dry one on day two while the wet one has time to dry!

one suit?

I found trunks at Target for $10.99.

Yes, ding-a-ling is an appropriate term to use within this context.

I do, too. So rigid, lacking the ability to solve problems and rude to boot (hanging up on the other mom). It is silly, but it's also the stuff of divorce.

I have to agree completely with this. I know people who are apish*t about "the nap" - and now the kid is three or four! That is just obsessive and crazy, at that point.

OP, it's on you - you should have sucked it up and done the right thing. You both sound like ridiculous, immature, spoiled princesses, BTW.

Since you asked.

Team OP.

Asking another mom to wake a baby and schlep two kids at 10 p.m. is an unreasonable demand. It's a harmless mistake and swimsuits are easily procured.

I hope I am not friends with any of you ridiculous hard asses who believe OP should have accommodated.

Bathing suits don't take that long to dry.

So OP, did you get your answers on who is right?

Yeah, I'm thinking that if crazy mom thought it was no big deal to drive an hour for a bathing suit, then she could have gone out at 10:00 pm to pick up the suit herself.

Only a woman with no friends whatsoever would consider the request reasonable. Maybe the drive would have given her time to think about why that is.

This is my field but I can't offer an objective opinion as I personally would hand sew another bathing suit before having op and her baby come cart one over to me. (If I had never heard of Target, that is.
