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

[VodkaVomitANDPoo]

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.

I think if turney-uppy lady was as nice as she seems, she would have been a) mortified that she wasn't really invited (hence offering to pay) and b) happy to drop her "friend" in it for putting her in said mortifying position.
Plus, telling your sis that MadFBWoman is used to getting her own way and was SuperBridezilla isn't exactly stirry, it's more "yes I'm not surprised this has happened" confirmation.

I do understand you paranoid-type reaction though, given what's been going on!

Glad it's all gone well.

Glad it all went well.

Shame your DC missed having his friend there (owing to said friend's mother being bonkers)

Thumbwitches, I see what you are saying, I guess it's not stirry. She got on very well with my sister

Is there a Halo emoji here? I didn't mention a word to ANYONE who came to the do. Go me! (only family who knew details and closest friends)

Well Im glad it worked out so well in the end.

Im hoping she reports ALL the Fun had to zilla

That'll really steam her up

Glad it had a good outcome op! Oh, and round these parts (SW England) gopping is interchangeable with minging...

Yes Alpaca, I know

All I can add is that gopping is a great word, but hoofwank is absolutely fantastic.

Gopping is indeed a word (Watford lass here!)

I love your relatives' vocab, VOdka! Hoofwank is indeed fab.

Can you update is when she finally turns up on the school run?

My goodness - does Amazon sell halo polish? You are a MUCH better person than me!! I would have told all the parents what had happened in detail - I wouldnt want the kind of bile she is spreading to go uncountered.

So glad you all had a good time - sounds like a brill party. I bet all the parents will chat about what a great time both they and their children had and make Bonkers Facebook mum even more angry (in her weird parallel universe!!)

Glad it went well. Good on you for being all big about it and not briefing all the other parents on FB mum. Her one friend though, does know the deal, so maybe it will all blow up in FBmum's face yet.

Gopping is a great word. I've never heard it used in the context of your OP, only to mean ugly or revolting, but I like it the way you've used it and it sounds just right.

Ha ha! Feeling the love for Gopping in the room.
Aermingers, no darling. I'm going to leave it here but thank you all for the chest bumps and hand holding along the way!

De-lurking to say that I'm glad all went well! My nan was a brilliant, sweary nan (think 'Nan' on Catherine Tate) but she never used 'Hoofwank' but she bloody well would have done if she'd have heard it.

Ha! Same. She used to tell the trick or treaters that came she'd "kick them all up the shit flaps!"
My siblings and I used to convulse with laughter. If we'd try to swear she'd hit us on the head with the Jewellery hand

Hoofwank is absolutely one for the MN lexicon. Thanks, Vodka!

Glad it all went well.
The Danish pastries may well replace hoofwank mum in your memories for years to come.
On the other hand, if the hoofwank mum is that bad, maybe you gained a friend?

(not sure if usage is correct. The Urban Dictionary only suggests Hoofwanking Bunglecunt, and that it applies to the current PM)

Unbelievable!

I think the OP must be related to Malcolm Tucker.

Haha Redexpat- I wish!

Another vote here for Hoofwank ! Can't wait for the next time that someone pisses me off, so that I can use it.

I wonder if Unexpected Guest in the Bagging Area was sent by mad FB mum to assess the damage.
Now she knows that party went ok, she will feel it is safe to resume the school run

Anyone else feel really sorry for Mumzilla's DS?

He's missed a really good party and the friendship between him and OP's DS will be really tricky now.

Yes of course - but his mum is entirely to blame for him missing out.

Nanny- I'll make sure dc is super nice to him, he's been told not to mention the party.The kid in question is LOVELY- really nice lad we have never had problems.
