My DM, DSis and DNeice and another DSis came round at the weekend for my DD's birthday. They turned up 30 minutes late (which I know isn't much but they weren't getting here until 11 in the first place so that's the morning gone.) This was because one DSis (without the DN) was hungover from the night before and didn't get up in time. They all live together so were travelling together.
When they eventually got here she slept and just sat there like a wet weekend.
We've sat down today to write the thank you cards and I've realised that my DD only got a card from her.
So she had money to spend getting pissed but not to buy a present or put money in a 6 year old's card!
AIBU to think that it's bad form?
Or am I being grabby? I don't think I am!

There areb't many 19 year olds that would enjoy a 6 yr olds party. In fact she was probably dreading it. Be thankful she turned up at all

I've learnt from this to lower my expectations for when my DD is a late teen Grin
Hopefully I'll remember Grin
