Ds2 is having his birthday party tomorrow (turning 10). We're having it at home and have hired a laser skirmish party. There was a limit (due to cost and not wanting masses of boys running wild at home) to the number of friends that he could invite. In total he could choose 9. Including him that makes 10. Last night a boy he was friends with last year but is in a different class and he hasn't talked about much this year phones me and urged on by his mother in the background asks can he come to dss party. He's very surprised he hasn't been invited as they are very good friends. He then proceeds to tell me he knows about the party as he has heard about it from another boy who is going. He's doing a sleepover at the other boys house tonight and he can come with him.
I was so taken aback I said he could come. Now I'm angry with myself (but how do you say no to a child) and furious with the mother for not only letting him phone but positively encouraging him in the background 'just ask if you can go and why you havn't been invited'.
Am I being unreasonable or is this just plain rude. Also not sure what I am going to say when he's picked up tomorrow because I am so angry, I think it will be written all over my face.
