I decided to do a small birthday trip to a soft play plus mcdonalds for my sons birthday and invited 3 school friends, plus my sons his brother.
One of the mums I was good friends with for a while but she became friends with another mum at school who I would say is a bad influence and since then we have not spoke as much.
Now at my sons party I just wondered if this seemed a bit rude.
I payed for everything but when we got there this mum started moaning saying they tried to charge her for socks for the trampoline/soft play and wasn't that included.
They was included as I had already payed for them and the lady at the till double checked and then gave them. But if they wasn't included they are like £2 I wouldn't moan about that if someone is paying for my child to go out.
Next they both went and bought a drink together without asking me at the soft play. I wouldn't mind if it was lots of people and but I was the only other mum there as the other parent was coming back to pick up and I actually was looking for them to ask if their child would like a slush puppie. I wouldn't expect anyone to pay but it would be nice to let me know incase I wanted to join them.
Then I asked if their children would like a slush puppie as I was buying my sons one and they both said yes and then one of the mums was worried (I heard them gossiping so I said sorry I completely forgot) about her daughter having it as there are new rules about slush puppies. I actually went and tried the worker to ask if that ingredient was in these ones and she said it wasnt on the ingredient list but she can double check with the manager. Then when I found out they said they had drunk them and thrown them away which there is no way they drank them that quick, they had obviously got rid of them.
It annoyed me a bit as someone else could of had it.
They also turned up with no card or present (I have bought a present for both their birthday parties).
Then we went McDonald's and I payed but one of the two mums went and bought themsleves both a Mcflurry and didn't say anything to me just bought it over and didn't say anything.
If it was me I would of atleast said to the third person we are going to get a mcflurry.
I just feel like it was all a bit rude. I was quite good friends with this lady before I bought her daughter ice creams at the school van when she didnt have change (she always gave me loose change back). My nan made teddies my son took in and gave to her, our children used to send video messages
But since she has become friends with this other mum it all stopped. I have just not payed any attention and said hello to them when I see them but it was all a bit off and now this has made me feel a bit upset especially as it was my sons birthday and we only invited 3 people.
Would you feel the same?
