DH, DS and I were invited to a child's birthday party on Saturday in a large village hall. The parents were really pushing the message not to be late so we got there in good time. It was just us, the DJ and a couple of people blowing up balloons. We sat, we waited. Two hours after the start time, the birthday child and their parents had still not arrived and there were only a handful of other guests. We went home rather nonplussed.
I don't know when they eventually turned up but there has been no explanation, no apology etc. and as they eventually did arrive they are all alive and well.
AIBU to think that this was rude and strange behaviour?
