To start the NINTH thread that nobody responds to

[PortiaCastis]

For the lonely faces, in those empty spaces
For the unloved and the denied
For the little wheels turning bigger deals
For all the dreams that bloomed and those that died

Mother nature don't draw straight lines
We're broken moulds in a grand design
We look a mess but we're doing fine
We're card carrying lifelong members of
The Union of different kinds

All welcome we are Vanilla who makes cakes
Toad who is meme champion
Better who is advisory
Portia who has a famous boyf
AGL who is young
Jess well I dunno
Ruby Being and anyone I've forgotten

Initiation, even!

Definitely a case for laxative chocolate cake - at least for the non-inviting mother if not for the son as well

Long post coming up..... bear with....

Laxatives in cupcakes and hand out to class in party bags!

Yes!! That'll teach them to have a party without Vanilla's son!

You realise that you could start your own AIBU thread with this situation, Vanilla? It's a classic!

It just shows what a hypocrite Party Mum is. She sat in my kitchen last year & told me a story about another party. A little boy had gone over to her house to play with her son. She said " are you going to XX's party?" Little Boy said "No, I haven't been invited and I feel saw about that." So the mum - party mum, not Little Boy's mum - marches off to this OTHER mother & says "Hey, why haven't you invited Little Boy to XX's party????" And apparently there was a bit of a falling out between them and she told me this other mother was a bitch.

"Saw" ??? Sad!!!!

Lolololoololol. I can't start the thread. They'll know it's me!!!!

I thought 'saw' was a typo for 'sore' and wondered if you were American!

Vanilla, your poor boy. I hate seeing children left out.

vanilla you weren't mean. You told the truth to about bitch mom without actually saying she was a bitch.

On a side note are you in Scotland? Bloody confusing having a different summer hols.

*about - not 'to about' - goodness knows where the 'to' came from.

I'm seriously illiterate on here. And mathematically challenged. Yet I was very academic back in the day (only 8yrs ago). I aced maths and science, without revision and was good at English. Its mommy brain.

Oh bless - DS doesn't even know about the party. He wouldn't have been able to go anyway as he was on a tour of all the vegetarian restaurants in Suffolk.

Apparently the pool party was carnage with vile behaviour and tears. I'm very happy to be on the moral high ground, looking down, laughing!

No Blue you're not illiterate. It's called auto correct. Or auto cock up....

Am not in Scotland, sadly. I love Scotland!

Well it's good he doesn't know about it. No matter how bad the party was, it's not nice to know you weren't invited.

I invited someone to come and join our thread. She was getting a bashing for her thread because she posted in AIBU her OP was very vague. She said she wasn't going to post again so I was hoping that by joining us, she would realise that not all of MN is cruel. We are pretty awesome here.

Oh, are all these mums on MN, Vanilla? Mind you , they still wouldn't know - there's one of these threads every other week! It's obviously quite a common thing - missing out one child from the class. And almost everyone is always on the OP's side, about it being mean, uncivilised etc.

This is the reason why I don't fit in with the school mums. This, and the fact that I don't have 6 horses and a fox's head stuck on my wall next to the decapitated stag.

We are pretty awesome here.

I agree that that's a fair and unbiased description, Being.

I started to type something then changed my mind. Both party boy and his mother have shown their true colours in the last six months and I really can't be arsed with either of them. Still, I'm sure a few people will get to hear that she invited the other boys and not my darling precious angel!

we are pretty awesome here

Yup! It's like we've got our own table at the local cafe. Hey, pull up a chair. Come and join us!!

Vanilla, I'm so glad you don't have fox and stag heads. They are so unnecessary and barbaric.

I went to a wedding fair and was looking around at the stalls. One of the dress stalls had an animal skin rug on the floor. I immediately walked away and refused to look at their products.

auto cock up

vanilla. It's funny, one of my closest friends has grown up children and the other doesn't have any. Sometimes I think it's why we gel so well. I'm wary of making school-mum friends exactly because of the scenario you describe.

We have our own table but everyone is welcome to sit with us. No bitchy leaving out here.
