Decline party invite because she gave me a thumbs up?

[FrumptyMumpty]

I know this is petty, but I find the whole birthday party scene an unwanted drain on my family time, my energy levels and my finances.

I’d much rather do play dates.

When you’ve got as many kids as I have it’s lucky if we don’t have a birthday each day of the weekend.

So my eldest daughter was invited to a party where everyone is invited.

I don’t know this mum, hardly see her to talk to her, but the kids get on so I was going to go… like you do. She came to my daughters party, exchange the gift back, etc

BUT the mum is obviously selectively responding to several mums RSVPs with either a 👍🏻or a ❤️

I got a thumbs up 👍🏻

Now I’m wondering why I should put myself out when she has outed me as being less equal than half the other mums.

AIBU to decline purely because of the 👍🏻?

Don't be a big baby.

This can’t be real? If it is, I’m cringing for you

Honestly what the hell are you on about…..is this for real 🙄

Oh FFS! It amazing me that this is even important enough for you to ask the question. You say your life is busy. It really can’t be!

are you for real?
🤣

Of course (if this is real) yabu. A thumbs up is more appropriate for someone you don’t know well & heart for people you know better 🙄 sounds like you’re selfish anyway as you don’t want to go regardless of the fact your children have been invited “the number” of children you have is no one elses fault

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IVE SEEN IT ALL NOW.

Yes.

Of course you’re being unreasonable. I don’t send heart emojis to anyone I am not very close to either!

YABU ❤️

You are reading way too much into this op. I’d imagine the hearts are for mums she knows a bit better/are more friendly with but honestly it’s so minor I wouldn’t give it another thought

Oh, please. She may be doing it randomly, trying for variety. She may not. Regardless, you are proposing to punish her daughter (and yours) for something she did. Rethink this.

@nomoredriving

This is the best responsre to OP yet

But it may be a late April Fool ..
she may have scheduled post by accident to go 12 days later or something 🤷‍♀️🤔🤷‍♀️🎂🎉🎉🍾

What do you think pp? 👍 or 💖💗💘💓💛💚💜💙? You can only select one, remember

I think there seriously must be something else going on though 😔

I know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but it is she who's laughing her head at us being taken for fools, imo

5% of posters agree with op. Wow.

I would decline that invite too lol. It’s quite liberating when you realize you can say no for any reason you want to.

It's petty. She was probably just varying it at random.

And the only parties we get invited to are whole class ones so be careful what you wish for

Surely a wind up?

No, I'm pretty sure 🍆🍑😏 means fucked

You are verging on paranoia and reading way too much into it. The party is about your daughter.

Getting a thumbs up is still nice and your daughter should go.

Some people only send hearts to people they really know quite well because it is presumptive to appear so affectionate to an aquaintence.

We’ve all had a damn good laugh at your expense, op but I hope you are ok.

My cousin has a disproportionate hatred of the thumbs up emoji, she interprets it as passive aggressive/sarcastic. Luckily she also has a sense of humour, so I regularly reply with only thumbs now, down as well as up.
YABU to have multiple children then complain about the burden of multiple children having social occasions to attend. Surely this was obvious.

It’s about your daughter not you…

What is going on this week with ridiculous posts.

"When you’ve got as many kids as I have" - and you've got time to worry over a 👍 or a ❤?

Really?

🤣🤣🤣
