[quote=Anonymous]We had a birthday party for our 7yo last weekend. We invited a neighbor, two kids even though only one is the birthday kid’s peer. This was extra money and extra effort but we knew it would be tough for them to attend unless both kids went, as the dad works weekends.

I was obviously busy right before and during the party, especially at the start. (Big venue.) So I missed a few texts that were asking for start time and directions (all clearly in the evite AND in the body text that had the link to the evite), and then the mom arrives late and is all flustered like why didn’t you answer my texts.

First off:
1) All details were in the evite, which I know you saw because it said you viewed it
2) All logistical details also in the body of the text that I sent you before I sent the evite link
3) You were texting me questions right at the start time of the party, I didn’t see because I was busy
4) In 2024, you don’t ask for driving directions. Ever. Ask Siri, as Google Maps, ask Waze, etc. Who asks the host for directions after party start time?
5) You’re welcome that we graciously invited and paid for a sibling even though that meant we couldn’t invite another peer

This mom has been miffed at me all week. I’m about to tell her to stuff it. She’s making passive agressive digs at me when we see each other at school, on a group chat, etc. I’m this close to blowing her up on the group chat. Who acts like this?! [/quote]
