[quote=Anonymous]I think there are two lessons here. 1) OP, you can't control other people. You can only control yourself. If this bugs you (and it would bug me!), you have the choice to do more low-key parties where you don't have to pay per child, or you can simply not invite the flaky families. 2) As you go through life, you will find people who do respect you, and those who don't. For your own mental health, and the mental health of your kids, it's best to surround yourself with people who do respect you and give some space to the people who don't. People show you how they will treat you. That other mom clearly doesn't count you as a solid friend, so hear that message and treat her accordingly. Doesn't mean your kids can't still hang out. But, you are very clearly not a priority for her or her family (which is fine!). [/quote]
