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 👍🏻?

Thank fuck I don't have any kids if this is what my life would look like

What? I’m planning a party for my toddler and didn’t think I had to think about stuff like this?? 😂😂

Grow up
Don't be childish

This is not about you,
It's for your daughter

Why take it personally when you hardly know the woman@FrumptyMumpty

Baffled with confusion 😕

How would you explain taking back your (daughter’s) RSVP?

Hi Lucy! Our daughter’s are friends and I had replied to you with an RSVP for the birthday party you are throwing. Now, I know we don’t know each other. Even so, I had expected more than a 👍🏻 Please apologise to your daughter but it is because of this emoji that I am now going to take back my RSVP and my daughter won’t be attending the party. Penny

lol

You got a thumbs up like others presumably got.

Would be something, perhaps, if you didn't get any acknowledgement at all.
YABU

Lol this is so me the week before my period.

Sometimes I do likes not loves on peoples comments if I don’t know them too well and would worry they might think I was hittting on them with my little hearts. Again, that would be during the week before my period.

All courses of action absolutely deranged
teenage nonsense with no place in adult society 😂

Think OPs gone to the party👍😂

Are you ok? 😅 🤣

Op are you pushing another child out but wait you have so many allready

This is not about you. yabu

How can you have so many DCs when you're obviously 12?

How many kids have you got?

Things like this make me v nervous. I cannot believe you are analysing the emojis people post on school what's app groups to this degree. I would do a heart or thumbs up indiscriminately with zero intention that the heart would mean i was more pleased that child was coming. The only way you would slightly have a point would be if she'd given your rsvp a 👎

Anyone who understands or cares about the hierarchy of emojis might have been sent to bed? 😂😱☺️😊😻♥️😆😜😢

Seriously!
If you're that sensitive and petty, good luck in your life.

Yes, YABVU. I can see why you" find the whole birthday party scene an unwanted drain" on your family time, your energy levels, given that you waste time counting how many RSVPs get a ❤ or a 👍. How comes you have the time and headspace to worry about something so minor when you’ve "got as many kids " as you have ? (However many that is ). If your daughter wants to attend the party , take her and don't spend time counting ❤s and 👍s . I am giving your post a 🤣.

But more importantly, how did @Goodread1 make the font so big?

🤖

I’m so confused.

Are you mad that you didn’t get a love heart and just a thumbs up? Are you mad that you only received an emoji and not a ‘that’s great! Can’t wait to see your little one then’ like what’s the actual problem here😂

At least you didn't get a "😬" or a "🙄" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Heart is a bit much at work.

You sound very bitter about all the party invites. It’s a weird response when people are being nice to you/ your child. It’s not their fault you have so many children getting invited to parties! The emoji thing is just unhinged

Is your real name Megan???

🤦‍♀️🙄👎🏻

What?? Sorry, but you're being a bit bonkers.

Wtf did I just read?
