we had a big party yesterday and at dds request I invited some of her friends from school with their familes

one mum phoned and asked if it was ok to bring her sister and her 3 children as well as her, her partner and their 3 children making them a group of 9 in total. no problem the more the merrier

not one of them turned up. no text no phone call nothing.. I sent a text this morning and just got a message back saying "oh sorry didn't really feel like it"

aibu to think this is both rude and inconsiderate ?

That is so rude!! Some people just don't think do they!

Doinmummy · 31/12/2012 15:11

Very rude.

Pagwatch · 31/12/2012 15:11

Yes rude. But the clue was in her asking to bring 9 people long in the first place tbh.
Don't invite her again.

TinkerMcJingles · 31/12/2012 15:12

Yes rude.

bluebiscuit · 31/12/2012 15:12

Yanbu. Very rude indeed - the extra ask AND not turning up. Perhaps you were better off without them.

DrGoogleWillSeeYouNow · 31/12/2012 15:15

Very rude and inconsiderate.

But perhaps if she knew it was a 'big party' she thought that 9 people either way wouldn't make any difference.

Still... that reply to your text... unbelievable. Cheeky cow.

Grin. Sorry, just have to laugh at that. She seriously contemplated brining 9 people to your party and then decided she didn't feel like it? What a bloody weirdo!

Naysa · 31/12/2012 15:28

Maybe she didn't want to come so asked if the extras could come hoping you'd say no...

pigletmania · 31/12/2012 15:31

That is rude she should have text and said she us not coming

MissMogwi · 31/12/2012 15:34

Rude and weird. Don't bother asking her in future.

EuphemiaInExcelsis · 31/12/2012 15:34

How bloody rude. I'd be asking when she's coming round for all the food you prepared for them.

How have you responded? In reality, I would reply "I would have appreciated notification", then never speak to the cow again. Grin

BluelightsAndSirens · 31/12/2012 15:38

Really bloody rude.

I would respond with "I don't feel like wasting all the extra food and drink I bought to accommodate your 9 guests.
Did you mean to be so rude?"

Alisvolatpropiis · 31/12/2012 15:40

That's really rude! Yanbu

Shockingly rude!

Didn't feel like it?

Shock

How rude and dismissive.

Ignorant woman.

I didn't really mind her asking to brijg extras. her sister has just been through bad separation so was staying with them. we did it as a sort of drop in party 45 people came and went during 4 hours but
as we knew they'd be so many we did get extra drinks for. children and topped up party food. just annoyed I l suppose. quite a few people didn't come because they had norovirus but they all managed a quick
text.

never mind.happy new year let's hope her sislter had a. better one
