Ok.. arranged what I thought was a fairly straightforward affair with some local mums in my village, we knock on eachothers door on Friday night and do the trick or treat thing. I made a halloween cake my dd was very excited. I'm the only mum that works. Get this.. on Friday I get a call that he arrangements had changed to accomodate another mum in the next village and there was no time to go to my house (even though I had made a bastard cake and my dd was excited) to add insult to injury I was told that one of the kids was a '7 o clock girl' so we had to hurry... I picked my dd up shovelled tea into her shoved her into her costume to start the ridiculous carry on.. then the mum at the last stop told us not to go until 6.15 cos they were having their tea! When we got there we were told to wait in the car (yes car!) they weren't ready.... we then had to sit on the bloody kitchen floor drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows floating about. What the ..???? The mum said 'ok girls do you want to go out for a scream?' I said 'Please can I' My poor dd sobbed when we got home full of nasty sweets and deveasted that no one came round for our cake, I opened a bottle of wine and sobbed too.. I refuse to do it next year

It's such a relief that I'm not mad and that the behavior is quite peculiar .. i will just mention how devastated dd is and will have a little xmas party for her and invite my other nice friends, so nothing is hinging on them and they can't change anything ..

I'm cross but the main instigator is moving in September and she is very good friends with nice mum so I think I will just mention how devasted she was and make sure it never happens again .. I will also say that I will opt out next yr and arrange a party at the house with other friends because of how hurt dd was.. I will have to hunt down some more friends too!
