My friends (best mate of decades and her husband ) have a party every year, usually there’s loads of kids there. It’s about three or four hours drive away from where I live.
This year they have decided no kids as they say they want everybody to be able to have fun and that it’s going to be very boozy. I have no one to look after DC and so told them I would not be able to attend. My friend is v upset with me
They said I can bring my DC, but no one else can , so that I can attend, obviously I don’t want to because it would be shit for my DC and I don’t want them at a really boozy adult party anyway, especially when usually there’s loads of other kids running around and they have a lot of fun. Not to mention everyone else who has had to sort childcare or not to go.
She’s now said they are not going to throw one of these parties again and it’s talking about wanting to move away because “everyone is so flaky and rubbish”
I think she’s being bat shit, but she’s really upset with me, like the whole childfree wedding thing, I think you just have to take it on the chin if you’re gonna introduce rules like this and people don’t come to your party. What am I missing?!
