This mum is totally unreasonable isn't she? Help me word a reply!

My son went to his friends house for a play and tea yesterday. They are both 5. They went to a local soft play.

I went to pick my son up and the husband was there, all good. Had a great time.

I text the mum to say thank you etc and I had this reply...

'No problem! They had a great time at soft play and then they had some dinner there. It came to £10.00. You can give me the money at the gates tomorrow. Have a nice evening! X'

Erm what the fuck? Is that normal? What do I do?

As it's my situation I was dealing with I dealt with it my way and I'm happy with the outcome so that's all that matters really

I don't understand, having found a peaceful resolution, why you had to buy so much at her expense? Gives her the moral high ground again.

Nasty, vindictive point-scoring. OP not coming across very well here.

I think it's a good outcome given it was a strange and unnecessary situation, all created by her. Very odd.

You did well waitrose and I'd feel the same in your shoes about cooling it for a bit. It makes you wary knowing some one can be unpredictable and a bit of a cow.

I honestly don't care how I come across. It's all done and dusted now so all good

Bloody hell you can't win! OP I think you handled it brilliantly. Well done for not giving a shit about what others think.

I don't really think the other mother had the 'moral high ground' at any point, DogStuff.

Yeah some weird perspectives on here, all's well that ends well :)

Whatever I decided to do someone would moan anyway

Kudos to you, Waitrose - I think you did exactly the right thing.

Have some more !

And a glass of

And another . Well, it is Sat evening!

Waitrose I think you handled it fine. It is perfectly normal to have a civilised veneer but be cautious about getting too entwined with someone after they have basically burned you. You are being careful.

Gosh there are some right weirdos on here at the moment.

Glad it all got sorted Waitrose

But I am another one reeling at the price of your carrot cake

I think you behaved perfectly well OP!

glad it's sorted.

OP I think you handled it great! and not inviting over for any more okay dates/meals out will give her the message.
Pease do let us know though if she asks if you'll be taking her son to legoland again for their annual trip!
