My daughter has made a very good friend at school in the last few months. They have become quite close and the girl is lovely but I am getting really annoyed with the parents.
Every single time they invite my daughter over to their house or to an event, they ask me if she can come over that afternoon during school pick up time and there has also been several occasions where the parents would have knows at least a week in advance of an event yet still only ask on the day of the event such as today, My daughter ran out of class with her friend and handed me an invitation for her friends birthday party tonight. The friends parents came over and they asked if my daughter was going to attend (it started half an hour after school finished) to which I replied 'oh I have only been given the invitation, I didn't realise a party was happening, daughter must have forgotten to give it to me'
The mother laughed and told me they only gave out the invitations today. AIBU to think this is annoying? I would normally say no but my daughter has ASD and has had a lot of trouble making and keeping friends. Are these parents just clueless? I normally give my kids invitations out at least two weeks beforehand and I always plan playdates at least a few days in advance.
I gave in and said my daughter could go but should I speak to these parents and explain to them that a little notice would be nice next time?
