Is what I'm feeling justified, or am I out of touch?
I emailed a group of mums and dads from my child's nursery to invite them to a child's birthday party. Everyone but one replied after a few weeks. I wanted to give this particular parent a chance, so I followed up the email with a written invitation card - you know, 'please come to the birthday party of XXX'. The parent still didn't reply. Party is tomorrow, still don't know if this parent and their little girl are coming or not. We see them regularly, at nursery and babygroups.
They don't know whether or not I'm slaving over a hot stove to prepare food for certain numbers.
I find that really rude. Do you? Or have I lost the plot and am in danger of turning into a 'mother in law from hell' type?!
I just think, if you receive an invitation, you reply. It doesn't matter if it's yes, or no, yuo reply. And if you don't want to come, you make something credible up and you lie through your teeth and reply. But, above all, you REPLY!
Can I check if you agree?
