[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know that no one will attend your party OP??
Have your invited guests cancelled their RSVPs?

Because that would be the only good reason to cancel a party that you have already sent invites for as well as accepted RSVPs for (I am assuming.)

If this friend is truly upset w/you ➕ your husband for not attending her Memorial Day party then she is nuts & you do not want to be friends w/someone who has placed “conditions” on your friendship.
It is very unlikely that she is miffed that you didn’t attend her party - - could she be mad at you for something else perhaps?

OP, do not cancel your party &gt;&gt; unless of course no one can attend.

Good luck![/quote]

I don’t.  I assumed the mutual group would attend hers over mine out of loyalty.  I was catastrophizing a bit.  There’s actually plenty of time to attend both we live 4 miles away from one another and it’s like a 6 hour block of time.

[b]Once this all rolls over I’m going to ask her if we upset her.[/b]  She did invite us so I’ll probably go over to hers for an hour to save face.  [/quote]

I wouldn't. You'd be feeding into her narcissism/queen bee-ism and look like you're groveling to get back into her good graces. See how the parties play out and then move on. You've already apologized for missing her Mem Day party. [/quote]

+1 and consider yourself fortunate to live four miles away from this narcissistic queen bee. I live across the street from one. She knew one woman in the neighborhood before she moved here and befriended her friends (including me) to convince us to all to help her identify a house in the neighborhood before it truly hit the market. She used me to get the contact information of the elderly owner’s children so that she could call them and spout some story about how this was the house she dreamed of raising her children in, and then she got us to write letters of recommendation for her and her family to include with her offer. Within 6 months of her moving in, her true personality began to show through and she was starting to burn through people. Looking back, I should have been wiser in dealing with her. However, I was in my 30s and still naive as to how terrible suburban moms can be to each other, it was COVID and my social life had largely shrunk to within my neighborhood, and she had been so nice until she got what she wanted. I actually think most of her current “friends” have caught on to her personality, but don’t want to stand up to the queen bee. Sorry OP. At least she loves a few miles away![/quote]
