I can't believe how wound up I have been today over a Halloween Party I have organised for my dd. My dd has insisted on inviting a girl from another class at school to her Halloween Party who visits her Gran (Gran lives next door to us). This little girl has been in our home, had a formal invite to last year's Birthday party and been around for tea. Having just found out that her mother only wants a few girls from said child's class to a 'makeup party' she is organising I wanted to end things as far as our generosity is concerned for it is obviously not being reciprocated. I gave in, however, and the Halloween invite has been posted through the Gran's door as dd daughter was in tears ~ posted so no changes of mind can take place or further argument. Rest of invites to be given out tomorrow.
My dd says the 9 year old is a friend and that it is the mother...I am not so sure. In any event the family are rather odd and quite standoffish but dd does not see that. I read some of the other things re parties that were posted but I don't feel any better. Just sad and annoyed that I could not be harsh enough to say no this time. Dd, does accept, that is the last one and that there will be no more. We have only been here for 1 year having moved.
