to have said 'No' to a friend who assumed they could use my house for her kid's b'day party?

I texted a friend asking how they were going to celebrate her DD's birthday. She replied with the list of events: Cinema, MacDonalds then .... round to mine to have a bit of a party to cut the cake.
Now, I know that text messages tend to be misconstrued but she did NOT put 'LOL' at the end of it. I told her my house is a mess and I wasn't having visitors round and to go to her in-laws who have a huge 100+ ft garden! She replied saying that she would have to ASK them and my house is always a mess! So, she didn't feel the need to ask me, not even related to her, but had to ask her in-laws?
She hasn't even invited my DS to the cinema either although he is a lot younger than her DD but she isn't taking her own DS either (same age as my DS).

The way I see it is that she's not even inviting us but want's to use our house to cater and accomodate for her afterparty. AIBU or is it just my hormones?

Today is the day and I checked the times of the film they are going to, should I go out elsewhere around the time it finishes as I think she is still assuming she can come round as she text my DH saying they would see us all on Friday. I am in no mood to deal with other people's kids during my Easter break.

Rhinestone, poshly is the best if not the ONLY way to say it. I hope one or both of us gets the opportunity soon!

I am not saying she has not had enough and I think her mother is to blame. But imagine a little girl with all her friends turning up with a cake to a locked house.

thefinerthingsinlife · 22/04/2011 17:24

I want to know what happened!

ChaoticAngelofchocolateeggs · 22/04/2011 17:25

The little girl will have already had the cinema and MacDonald's, plus the cheeky bitch'friend' can always take them back to hers for the cake cutting.

Rhinestone · 22/04/2011 17:42

Come on, I'm neglecting my oh so important essay for this thread.

foundwanting · 22/04/2011 18:20

Only just seen this. Shock

Do people really behave like this? I mean ... really ... in real life... invite themselves to someone else's house for their DCs party?

Really?

I must live a very sheltered existence.

Purpleprickles · 22/04/2011 18:24

Am intrigued to hear what happened so place marking too.
