A friend of mine has invited my children to her DS' party. My DS is 3 years younger and my DD is the same age but neither of my children see my friends children as they don't go to the same schools and we don't tend to socialise with the children. My children have known hers in the past but not anymore. DD doesn't actually like her DS, I don't know why but as they don't see each other I don't push it.
It isn't a small party, its for 60 children! She is inviting everyone and it is clear her DS hasn't has anything to do with the invite list, I am sure he wouldn't include the children of his mums friends who he never has anything to do with.
I don't want to take the children. Its going to be chaotic, my DD doesn't want to go, DS is too young to know either way and it isn't long after my DS's birthday and I would quite like to do something that weekend.
DH says I have to accept. I don't know why. WIBU to politely turn down the invite on the basis that we already have plans (I will tell her that we have)? I haven't RSVP'd yet as I haven't had the invite but I know we will get one as my friend told me.
