to keep saying no to ds.

[lancs78]

Ds is driving me mad this afternoon. His bestf parents are having a party to celebrate their marriage in a pub in next town. Ds claims he has been invited by his friend. Friend has apparrently checked with parents who agreed.
However, no officila invite received so as far as I am concerned we must stay away.
However, as couple are from overseas I am now wondering if etiqutte is different for other nationalities. They are from Eastern Europe.
Am I doing the right thing staying away. (sure I am)

How old is your DS. Are you friends with the parents?

How old is your DS ?

depends how old your son is really

8 (year4). I do chat to mum at school and have done playdates etc but thats it really.

Yes depends how old he is. Assuming he's little, do you know the other parents at all? Is there a way you can tactfully check with them in case the kids have got things mixed up?

I would phone the parents & ask in as low key a way as possible.

I had thought about ringing them. Just worried that by doing so they will feel obliged to invite us even if that wasn't the intention.
Horrible situation really.

No you're right. His friend has probably asked him....f the parents wanted to they would have asked last week. Leave it.

I know, but you could do it in a very vague way that lets them out easily.
Like "DS thinks he's invited play with your DS today, he's very insistent, sorry to bother you, but is that right?" Then they can say "no, maybe another time, sorry but we have other plans today" fairly easily.

Adventures has it spot on. That sounds perfect!

don't do it. a lot of people in a pub, celebrating? not good for childcare.
