Due to work commitments Saturdays are usually our only family day, so if we don’t have any invites to do things we make the most of it with day trips and activities.
Today was one such day, no parties or major things that needed doing, and there was money in the pot for a treat, so we went to the cinema, had lunch at Greggs (a favourite of DD) and then went bowling.
I’d heard that it was a boy in DD’s class’s birthday party but she’d not been invited (and I’m cool with that, she hardly mentions the child in question so they obviously don’t play together much). I had not heard where or what time it was, so was surprised when we pulled up at the bowling alley & noticed a familiar face in the nearest car - one of daughter’s friends. I realised we were at the party venue, right on time for it starting… I mentioned this to DH hoping that he’d help me persuade DD that we’d go bowling another time but he didn’t get the hint.
We stuck to our lane and they were at the other end of the lanes, only about half of the class were there, but we were definitely spotted by birthday boy’s mum and other parents as they had to walk past us to their lanes. DD watched them walk past and was a little confused, but was very good about the situation once I explained and carried on playing with us just fine.
Tomorrow DH is taking DD to a whole of class party, should I ask him to mention it or just pretend it didn’t happen? Or should I try to contact the mum today?
What would you do? Anything, or am I totally overthinking it?
