[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP.  Mostly I just thought it was incredibly RUDE.  In part rude to the parent, but most of all rude to the kid.  I mean at five years old, a child know's what's up.  When the table's set for seven...

I almost wanted to call up the parents myself and give them a talking to.

Just obnoxious.

(I'm feeling overly hateful right now, maybe.  I'll calm down after my second coffee. :))[/quote]

i think you SHOULD call - and say something like, "oh my gosh, was little peter sick this wknd? we were at mark's birthday and only 3 kids came; i felt so bad for the birthday boy. he was so disappointed" lay it on thick. [/quote]

I sort of like this idea![/quote]

I don't - why keep beating a dead horse. Simply don't invite them any more, and find less flaky friends for next year's birthday.[/quote]

But this would be a mutual friend doing the shaming, not the birthday boy's mother.  That's why I like it![/quote]

Exactly! it just reminds the invited child's parent that she missed a party and that it hurt someone's feelings. I can see the invited mother becoming defensive if the birthday kid's mom called, but probably not with an in between random friend. She might even pass the message along to others. Or, shocker, apologize to the kid![/quote]
