dd was to have a sleepover at ours with a friend. Friend was meant to come over today between 12.30 to 1.30 just had a message from dd friend to say she’s had an argument with her mum and now she’s grounded and phone being taken off.

AIBU to be annoyed. Dd is ASC so has been waiting since waking up for friend to come over. Friend could have already been here. Snacks are already brought and plans had been made.

If friend has been in an argument with her mum, surely the consequence should be after this arrangement due to cancelling it so late and not let dd down.

She is 12 and maybe if she is not allowed to do something she was really looking forward to she would have a think about how she has spoken to her mum.
It was the girls behaviour that caused it not the mum being dramatic.I think I would have done the same.Yes it's disappointing for her friend as well but what is the point of punishment after she has been away enjoying herself.
