AIBU?

To call out 1 of the other school mums

We're all in a school Mums WhatsApp group and we're trying to organise a leaving party for our year 6's. 8 of us want to do a disco type affair for everyone but this 1 mum is trying to organise a cinema trip and meal out for her DD and trying to entice other kids in. I'm absolutely raging. AIBU if I completely lose the plot and call her a cunt.

Do it. Publicly. Make sure the whole of the school hears about it. I'm sure you'll get loads of applause on Facebook, hun. You tell that cheeky mare what's what.

You sound like a group of kids yourself apart from the prospective foul name calling which is totally unnecessary.

Raging because people have a choice?

My dc would have preferred the cinema and a meal over a disco.

YWB ridiculous to 'call her out'.

Crikey, calm down, she's perfectly entitled to want something different.
If the rest of you don't, just politely, but firmly tell her it's going to be a disco and she's welcome to help out.

Definitely don't do that! Can they not happen on different days? Discos always end excluding a few kids who feel uncomfortable at them so very reasonable to want to do something different if her kid is like that. Not good to poach from your event though. But you'll do yourself no favours by name calling.

I’d just get the kids to vote and go with that. My dc would prefer the cinema trip, others might too.

Do they have to be on the same day? What do the kids want?

My DH has already said he'll be the dj and has turned down other gigs to do this one, and he's doing it at cost price so he's going to be out of pocket too! Fuming 😠

How will you be 'calling her out'?

Maybe grow up a bit?

If her child doesn’t want a disco and said she’d rather go to the cinema then fair enough to the mum for arranging that instead. Why not do both and children attend what they want to attend.

I'm guessing you're not a fan of hers? At the very least, you both sound a wee bit over invested in children's parties 🤔

YABU for using the term "call out"

Yep do it. Lose the plot and call her a c*nt.

All for not complying with your frankly schoolgirl bullying behavior.

So that's really what your problem is.
Offer both on different days and kids can pick one or both.

I'm failing to see the 'calling out' part?

I think op is a bit bored today

Is the leaving party for the benefit of yourselves or the kids? Shouldn’t the kids get to choose what they’d prefer to do?
