Aibu to decline my child going to birthday party.

[Singlemamabear]

Hi,
it’s about my friends daughters birthday who’s turning 6. My friend initially inviteded me and my daughter to her birthday, she told me she will be going to a petting zoo and has booked a petting zoo package for 8 people. She told me her daughters already chosen 8 class mates so I would have to pay for my child’s ticket. The petting zoo was very very far so I couldn’t bring my daughter regardless.
its now been a few weeks I’ve heard nothing from her, she’s now texted me today and asked if me and my daughter would like to come to Lego land for her child’s birthday on Tuesday ( I guess she’s changed plans) I agreed to which she then texted me “ you took your daughter CBeebies land in a vclass for her birthday can we do that for Tuesday ? Can you please arrange that and we go halves? If anything I’ll pay”
(a vclass is a modern version of a limousine but with tv and PlayStation etc)
sorry but I think this was out of order. Yes I rented a v class for my daughters birthday but that’s my daughter and I paid ALL COSTS. I think it’s out of order she invites us and then asks me to pay half for a v class I didn’t ask for nor arrange for her child’s birthday ?! She keeps inviting me and my child to these birthday plans but wanting us to pay ontop. V classes are very expensive btw, it ranges from 500-1000 depending on trip and hours so why should I go halves for her daughters birthday ?! Bear in mind this is not my family, nor best friend just a friend. It’s really upsetting me and I’m wondering if I’m being unreasonable.
i saved up my money to take my daughter to CBeebies land in a vclass and I didn’t expect a penny from anyone I invited. She’s inviting me last minute and asking me to pay ?! It’s really upset me honestly. I would never make anyone pay for anything on my daughters birthday and she also knows that in a child’s birthday you pay for everything hence why she paid for the class mates zoo tickets. (I’m not sure wether they went or not but she said she’s already paid for it )
And also asking me to arrange it I feel is very out of order when I’m already busy as it is being a mum.
I honestly want to end this friendship. Am I being unreasonable

@Noshowlomo ive sent over text now just waiting on reply

Be prepared to be told your a selfish bitch. This woman has got thick skin and brass balls 😂

@2sisters shes ruined a friendship. The fact she’s put no planning into her child’s birthday and left it till last minute too

She has asked you to book it and then she will pay you back (go halves)? Is that what she meant? She sounds like enough of a CF to ask this and then not pay you for any of it...

@2sisters shes not replied yet 🤣 can’t wait to see her response

She’s insane. How does she genuinely think that request is ok. Run away from her fast

@Mustthinkofausername yes she’s asked me to book and arrange 😳 and we both go halves. So she will basically have me pay for it and she will pay me back half. Very valid point sounds like she was trying to scam me

My flabbers are ghasted!!

Just insane.

Sorry, what's v class?

What on earth is she thinking!

Totally book marking this for a reply- I can't believe what a CF she is being!

What a cheek! As if you’d expect someone to pay halves for something like that .

I think this is a perfect response.

I see you have sent a text, I can’t wait for the reply!

Glad you told her no.
Any response from the cheeky fucker yet?

£1000 limos for 6 year olds birthday parties?! Is this a thing?

Bookmarking - need to know what reply you get!

A long line of laughing emojis is the only fitting response 😅😅😅

Absolute cheeky beast 😳

OK thinking the best does she realise how much the vclass is? Does she think its like a taxi where you pay £20 or £30? Surely no one in their right mind expects a friend to fork out hundreds for a birthday of their child

Her reply !!!

“we go halves on Ubers when we go out is that not the same thing? if it’s a issue I’ll just pay”

Does she realise how much the vclass costs or does she think it’s £30

@Hankunamatata this was basically her response 🤣 that we go halves on Ubers

OP I’d reply “a vclass is going to cost over £500” and see what she replies. She might come back shocked, not realising and then feel bad

@Crystalbabe she sadly knows

😱😱
What about the other children why aren’t they being asked to pay why only you?
