First time ever posted - I think the following shows no manners but my DH doesn't see the issue?!
DD3 had her 5th birthday party today (I know, not the best time of year for a party!). Because it's her first year at school she had a big party to celebrate, inviting all her class plus other friends and family. This was at a soft play centre where we hired the venue privately.
Anyway most people responded yes or no with a handful not responding at all, as usually happens. The party started when a dad arrived, opened the door, popped his son in and left, without a word to anyone! The parents hadn't responded to say he was coming but that wouldn't have been a problem as plenty of space and food. I was just surprised that they didn't stay with him or at least say to me they were leaving him. He played away, ate his lunch, won the prize at 'Pass the Parcel', got his party bag, then his dad reappeared and off he went - still without a word.
So basically, his parents dropped him off and got 2 hours childcare, food and drink without so much as a thank you - thank goodness no one else did the same......
