DD is 5. She is in yr1. She has a friend, well she has lots of friends, some closer than others. This friend, she is not hugely close to but good enough friends with. That other friend I think does not have lots and lot of friends, but I might be wrong. I just do not know much about her i guess.
Anyway. We had an invite a while ago to a Build a Bear party. I have been working horrendously hard, and her invite is on the fridge to remind us, but has been hidden by lots of other stuff.
So this morning, all that stuff fell off and I have just seen the invite. It is today. lunch time. We have not replied (i feel shit about that already, it is very rude) and either way I have two hours to get DD dressed, get there etc.
DH starts a new job, our vacuum cleaner broke and I need to go get a new one, the house is a mess and we have had a few days of absolute chaos for one reason or another. I really want to just get on with a few things.
Would I be unreasonable to call the mother and say we will not be able to go? Am I being mean to DD and to her friend? should I just go and accept another day of chaos.
