AIBU to be gopping mad at this woman who posted my DCs party invite on social media!?

VodkaVomitANDPoo · 03/05/2015 14:02

I made some daft invites to look like magazine covers for DCs upcoming birthday to use up a load of old photo paper.

I found it odd that I was getting text message acceptances and requests to bring siblings from mothers of children I had never heard of- when quizzed the same name came up and a mention of a Social Networking site.

It turns out one of the mother's of a child in Dc's class took a photo of the invite (which had date/time/venue)on her wall and posted it on FB under an event (wtf?)

I've hired the venue out privately and am panicking the party will be ruined, we will end up in the local paper because 200 kids turn up wanted to be entertained and fed.

I asked the mother directly and she denied it and I have no proof (screen shot etc) although I am STILL getting texts

DC will be heartbroken if I cancel I just do not know what to do for the best. The last thing I'd want it having to stand by the venue door for 3 hours instead of joining in a celebrating a birthday- It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact my child will be 7 but this is the first time we've ever held a party.

Any advice on how to handle would be greatly appreciated.

Judging from the text from the other Mum it's deliberate. Plus the other mothers seemingly being unwilling to help OP makes me think they're in on it. Whether this is because the other woman has made up a story about being ousted or not I don't know.

FWIW I don't think it was ever posted on Facebook, I think that's just an excuse for turning up. But for grown women to behave so spitefully is inexcusable.

Good luck op. Sounds like twat mum is lying

blushingbooty · 09/05/2015 10:22

Lying to save face rather then admit she was trying to scrounge by bringing her party to yours.

Mrsstarlord · 09/05/2015 10:25

Hope the party goes well

MagicMojito · 09/05/2015 10:30

Good luck today...you might need it! Confused

TelephoneIgnoringMachine · 09/05/2015 10:47

Good luck for today. I'm sure everything will go fine (hopefully).

MildDrPepperAddiction · 09/05/2015 11:09

Just finished this thread, should be hoovering. She is batshit crazy. Let us know how the party goes!

WetFishAndOnionRings · 09/05/2015 11:29

Good luck today

Whatisaweekend · 09/05/2015 12:58

FB Mum is deranged!! I cant believe her cheek and then lying about it when you can so obviously prove her deceit is just astonishing!! I would second some pp's suggestions that you make the school aware. FB Mum needs her card marking in case of any future nastiness.

Good luck today OP and I hope your son has a smashing time!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 09/05/2015 13:16

Good luck today, but most importantly, report back!

TheMaddHugger · 09/05/2015 13:25

Vaguely wondering if crazy Mum is the same chick that parked IN different OP's driveway, blocking her in. and left it there ALL weekend.

Then didn't speak up at school when that OP said it would be towed.

Then spat shit when she WAS towed.? I think. It was a while back. Surely im not the only one remembers that one.

pippitysqueakity · 09/05/2015 13:30

Hope your DC has a great party regardless.

SideOrderofChips · 09/05/2015 13:40

Anyone else waiting till party is over for an update?

Greenkit · 09/05/2015 13:43

acatcalledjohn · 09/05/2015 13:44

Hope all goes well & your son enjoys himself, OP!

Marking place Grin

APlaceOnTheCouch · 09/05/2015 13:53

This is one of those threads where I think people in MN have such different lives from people I know in RL. Grin

50ShadesofNope · 09/05/2015 13:53

I hope your DS has a lovely day and outrageously cheeky mother gets her comeuppance in the form of an angry mob of non official invitees

Good luck!

Andylion · 09/05/2015 15:02

Vodka, know it was just a typo and I am really not mocking you, but I really want the term "gopping mad" to become a MN term. I hope all goes well today. Flowers

notapizzaeater · 09/05/2015 15:21

Wow, just why would you keep digging deeper ...

Hope it goes ok today x

carrielou2007 · 09/05/2015 15:30

Just read the whole thread and now look like this ??????

Momagain1 · 09/05/2015 15:36

I am with you Andylion! Gopping mad great.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234 · 09/05/2015 15:44

I agree, 'gopping mad' is a great description. It sounds like a whole new level of 'hopping mad'

HollyJollyDillydolly · 09/05/2015 16:02

Hope the party goes ok and there's no gatecrashers.

sunnydayinmay · 09/05/2015 16:03

marking place, rather obviously .
