So much drama for nothing. No wonder they disinvited you. I would too.

I'm the passive-aggressive poster (glad you like it ) but I honestly would do that despite not being a petty person because I think it is warranted here..."Oh sorry Larlo, DW has to watch alone now and I don't want her to have to do that, so I won't be able to cover for you"

Huh? The others at the party shouldn’t have been on deck to watch the OP’s kid whether or not DH was at the party.
