[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you sound like a bunch of middle schoolers.  I thought I was in the teen forum and couldn’t believe what I was reading and just noticed I was in the elementary forum.  I must have clicked here by mistake.

Ignore the mom and stop caring what anyone thinks. Soon enough, you won’t even know the parents of your kids friends.  - mom of teens [/quote]

^^^^

We've just found the mom that does this stuff on purpose.[/quote]

You are bananas.  OP did nothing at all wrong and the other mom sounds unhinged.  I cannot imagine caring about this or confronting another parent about not being invited to something.  That is psycho [/quote]

Psycho is not explaining to your kids social norms. Since you can't control others behavior, stop putting yourself in the position to get blow back. It's really very simple. Shut your mouth, and nothing will happen. You can't control others so control your own behavior, right?[/quote]

Right.  And it’s never ok to invite yourself or guilt/shame someone into inviting you to something, no matter what you overhear. Go make your own plans and control your emotions [/quote]

If you felt shamed, don’t keep making the same mistake. Manage the crap coming out of your mouth first. Why are you resisting the obvious solution? Keep your social plans to yourself because you can’t control others.[/quote]

“I” wasn’t shamed. You are spouting nonsense.  This didn’t happen to me.  But clearly that was the intent of the parent OP was talking about that confronted her over this situation [/quote]

So, as you know, when you can't control other people, you have to control your own behavior. In this case, stop talking in front of others about your parties. That's all that is needed. Not trying to scold strangers about how they should or should not react to the initial rudeness.[/quote]

Ok. And OP didn’t talk about.  Neither did her kid.  So move on[/quote]

Instead of lashing out at this other mom, blame the kids who talked. There are reasons these social norms exist.[/quote]

OP didn’t lash. The other mom did. Also, healthy people don’t blame kids for adult problems.[/quote]

Normal people can understand cause and effect. It's clear you don't think talking about parties in front of people not invited is even an issue so not sure why you think you're qualified to give any advice. The mom has ignored OP since this initial act of rudeness. The message is loud and clear that she's not interested in OP because she probably doesn't even want her kid around these people anymore.[/quote]

If OP and her kid didn’t talk it’s not OP’s problem someone did. It is this mom’s problem that she’s upset. She’s trying to find another adult to make their problem. OP shouldn’t let her make it OP’s.[/quote]
