DD's favourite child from playgroup, very nice mum. I said to her that her child would have to come to DD's birthday party. She quickly said her child was having a meet up and they had asked for DD to be there, clarifying it wasn't a party just a get together.
I went and bought a gift and card with DD's input for £13, had a budget of ten so not bad.
We hadn't exchanged numbers as I wasn't easy to contact anyway as had a problem with my phone but we turned up at the 'meet up' and nobody was there. Okay, my fault for not being contactable.
I found the mum on FB and said we had a present for her child and we should arrange a playdate, she said she was really happy we'd got in touch and she'd love to. No mention of the cancelled meet up.
Anyway, not heard anything since and two weeks have passed.
WIBU to regift the present to another child (whose mum I've known for a while) who's having a birthday in a month? It's a real shame as this mum was always so lovely at playgroup and DD and her DC really like each other. But the birthday is long gone, the mum doesn't seem to be bothered about starting a friendship between us...or is she just really busy? Even if she does want to meet up the present seems a bit ridiculous now. Was it too much to spend on someone's child who I was only acquaintances with and who wasn't having a party anyway?
The present is just sitting sadly wrapped up in the conservatory reminding me of my social awkwardness every time I see it.
