aibu or just sensitive?

[MrsC1977]

Hi, myself, hubby + daughter (2) were invited to a childrens party. This was an invite from a mum who goes to the same playgroup as me. This party was arranged 3 weeks ago, and the mum kept asking me at playgroup if I was going and what food would dd eat at the party etc. Anyway, we went today and it was awful, the mum didn't say hello to us or even acknowledge we were there. So we left after 10 mins, husband was fuming and said this mum was damn right rude. I don't understand why she didn't even come and say hello and make us feel welcome, after all the conversations we had regarding her sons birthday party and if were going. Aibu? Or just sensitive? This is our first party we've ever taken dd to and jjust felt disheartened.

And....I'd be expecting an explanation if you just upped and left my party. THAT is downright rude. Really..what are you going to say to her when you next go to playgroup because there's going to be a proper atmo.

But - what did your DD do when you took her away from the party?

So, she had to keep asking if you were coming because presumably you hadn't answered the invitation.
She thoughtfully asked what food your dd would like to eat.
She didn't rush over to greet you when you arrived because I expect she was inconsiderately dealing with other parents/children.

Are you being unreasonable?
What do you think?

|O/t - becaue I have the devil in me today - please do let us know how the conversation went at playgroup next time you meet!

And it was a play barn? So she paid through the nose for that.

I'm just not getting why you didn't walk up to the host and say "hello, Jayne, give Mary her present" etc.

oh and I bet if anyone treats your DD as anything less than royalty at her future parties I suspect you will be mightily put out

Yes I did go up to say hello and she just turned looked at us then turned away. I won't comment any more.

Are you saying she didn't say hello? smile?

Did you take the present home as well?

oh boy the politics of children's parties.......joy

Wow!

I would start making an excuse for your quick exit for all the reasons stated above.

Op that is weird - I did start off thinkign ywbu but hse blanked you?

Maryz - you are right. You are. I just would love more details

Blimey! Your DH sounds like an obnoxious impatient twat tbh and you sound like the only thing keeping your ears apart is pink glitter and kittens. Your poor daughter.

Oh blimey, I think you need to be coming up with your excuses / apologies for next time you see her.

I smell a drip feed coming on

Arf at Bats

Yup - me too!

in all my years I've never been requested to take Husband to a party !

My DH would rather poke a shitty stick in his eye than go to a party. Me too, actually.

I have a couple of friends who treat parties as family outings. Personally I would rather go on a family outing to hell

you were silly and precious

and poor kid who got promised a party and then dragged away after 10 mins

I do like "damn right rude"
