[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Do not reach out to her. [/b]Queen Bees feed off drama. As long as you have friends coming outside the neighborhood group, host your party and have fun with those who show up. If you live near the Queen Bee, I agree that people will likely hit both parties, especially those who already RSVP'd to yours. [/quote]

But OP needs to RSVP. I'd respond and say that you can't make her party since you have yours. I'd also ask if she was still planning on attending. But keep your party and have fun with your real friends, who are the people who RSVP'd yes to yours and will show up. [/quote]

The Queen Bee is obviously not coming to OP's party. No need to ask. And OP isn't going to hers so should RSVP accordingly, although earlier she said she might send her husband and kids to the other party, which I think is strange, but all of OP's responses have seemed off (troll?).[/quote]

I don't think OP is a troll. I think she naively thought that she fell into this wonderful friend group in her new town and didn't put together that the catty queen bee would target her given the opportunity. Her responses have actually made sense...she followed up to see if there was a mix-up in the dates, and confirmed that she wasn't going to go all out to have some "best ever" party like several idiotic posters suggested. The OP has younger kids and is still in her 30s - I didn't discover how awful other mothers and adult mom "friends" could be to each other until my mid to late thirties as well. I thought it was all sunshine and rainbows in the suburbs. [/quote]

NP here. You’ve scared me! I’m in my early 30s — why does it get worse??

I read this thread and I’m horrified by this woman’s behavior in hosting the second party. I don’t think I could engage with that kind of toxicity. “Ok, hope you have a good holiday, sorry to miss you guys on the 4th” is probably the best I could do if I felt like I had to respond. And then RSVP no officially. [/quote]
