A mum of child in my dc's class at school has starting selling candles through a home party scheme.
We are part of a friendship group of mums and get along well.
Since she has been selling them, she has invited me to a "launch" party and a "new season preview" party at her home, via FB events. Each time I've politely declined as I think the products are very expensive and I really don't have any interest in buying them.
Now she is recruiting other mums to have parties and again, I've politely declined the invitations. The woman I am closest to in the group asked me in person to her party. I explained that I couldn't afford to buy anything so I wouldn't be going, but thanked her for thinking of me. Today another person in the group (not the selling person) asked me if I was going to have a party and I explained that no, I can't afford the products and am not really in to them anyway. She implied that I should be supporting our friends business by buying things from her and that I am BU by avoiding the parties. I kind of know I am not BU but it's really bothering me now.
