To ask if you think I was rude?

Mortified if so.

Took my DS (16 months) to a swimming class this morning. We normally go to a different one but he was unwell last week.

A woman was there who was in the same swimming class when DS was a baby with her DD. I greeted her and she seemed pleasant and smiley.

in the changing rooms I went, said goodbye but then realised I’d forgotten something so went back in and heard her talking about me to her mum saying ‘she was so rude when I invited her to (DDs) party.’

I looked back through my messages and she did invite us to a party which was run by a baby sensory lady. I had replied saying ‘thank you for inviting us but we are busy.’

Was that rude? Hmm

It’s maybe a bit blunt?

Doesn't sound rude in what you've said. Was there any other interactions with ehr over the party? If not then no I don't think you were rude.

More polite would have been
"Thank you for the invite, we would have so loved to come but unfortunately can't make it"
But I don't think you were rude.
