To think uninviting a child to a party is exceedingly rude

[Exaltedmalteaser]

My child (7 years old)got a party invite via a WhatsApp group. I asked him if he wanted to come, he did, and I replied saying he would love to come on the group. So far, so normal.

I then was removed from the group, and received a message to say that his invite was a mistake.

AIBU to think regardless of mistakes, you don't uninvite? My child has been in nursery/school with this child for years, they play together, and it's not a small party either, or one where numbers are critical or pay per head (just a party at home, which is also fine, and I know they have a good size home and garden).

I don't care that he isn't invited, just that he has been invited, when he is aware of the invite now. He will now be hearing kids talking about the party at school, thinking he is going, but not able to go.

Word salad 🥗

I would guess typed in anger and not really making a lot of sense….

You will see the people that have made them comments have no morals

Just what does that actual sentence mean?

Sorry but I also don’t understand how she added you ‘by mistake’…

Select wrong person from contacts list and add them, it’s pretty easy

You’ve made a whole thread about it and openly admitted you were RUDE to her and then BLOCKED her without giving her a chance to explain. Instead of trying to sort the situation out you made it about yourself and how you feel rather than what’s best for your son.

You've done the right thing. It's really low. Glad she is blocked now. Hope your son is OK about it all.

what does your comment mean?

Very odd, bitch of a women

😂😂😂 are you acting deliberately obtuse?

Slightly off point but this reminds me of the reactions and responses shared when adults are uninvited to weddings, hen dos, holidays....Uninviting, seems common judging by threads posted here. I guess the best option is to work on resilience. Life is full of disappointments and pleasures in non equal measures (as my parents would say).

Should she have made HALF a thread about it?

It is very rude. Its a 7 year old child. I would never uninvite a child from a party, I think that says a lot about a person. Shocking behaviour from a teacher too.

OP, I understand your anger, I would be too. I'm not sure I would have blocked her, I wouldn't want her to know I was even bothered. But you have now and on the other hand, why should you take slack for blocking her, when she had complete contempt for you and your child.

Its just a party, It will last a couple of hours and you will get over it. But she will look like a complete cow. If I was on the whatsapp group and seen you had been removed, I would be very curious to know what had happened. Then I would judge her when I found out and feel very sorry for your son.

Or work on inviting the people you want to attend in the first place?

Just an idea?

I'm agreeing with 98% of people who voted. If you are in the 2%, I'd say that make you the obtuse one.

Unbelievable. She will have to learn to change her behaviour or she/her child will lose many more friends

I can quite believe that courtesy isn’t a motivator for you

😂 you think you could make me angry over a comment, behave love. I’m not an entitled parent.

Uninviting a child is horrible and not offering any reasonable explanation beyond “it was a mistake” is even worse.

I don’t see anything wrong with blocking her unless you announced it. Then I would see it is a little bit dramatic, but understandable given the situation.

I agree with everyone else, book something fun for the day so he won’t even think of the party.

you can’t remove other people’s messages from WhatsApp groups?

ignore me I’ve just remembered it’s a group. If she was admin she could I guess. So did she add you then invite you, and then remove you?

what a cow. Probably be a crap party anyway, hope you and your son have a lovely day instead

People go on about women stopping the whole “be kind” thing yet when they do it they are piled on! I don’t blame you at all OP. Unbelievably rude, with absolutely no insight. Your poor DS. Don’t blame you for blocking her. I probably wouldn’t be brave enough to but would want nothing more to do with her or her child. Horrible woman.

I agree with what you. However, you can not control the behaviour of others.

No, the OP admitted nothing of the sort. She called out the other parent as rude.
There was no explanation, other than 'it was a mistake', hence the block.

Group admins which the parent would’ve been, can delete other peoples messages.

She’s making a massive dea? You’ve posted more than anyone 😂

Sorry was obviously typing whilst you were editing!

The parent’s behaviour was really, really bad. I don’t blame you for blocking her. I’d want nothing to do with her. Hope you can find a nice treat for your poor son.
