Party is my party (for children) and I will cry if I want.
Things parents will do – or not – for their children. A mother who organized a birthday for her youngest child did not provide food for two parties because their parents refused to timely RSVP.
Now she is wondering if she took things a little away.
Posting anonymously on Mumsnet, a UK -based parents’ forum, the mother explained her situation before asking other parents whether she was reasonable or not.
She explained that she was waiting for a birthday party for a front for her 8-year-old, and she sent invitations three weeks ago to about 40 children, requiring a response a week before the holiday date.
The mother stressed that she asked those who did not make RSVP after a while for a response, the second to family food allergies because she “was” making individual lunch boxes for each child and would like to make sure they had the perfect holiday lunch box, “she wrote.
“I also put on the invitations that once I had an RSVP I would offer food opportunities for their party food box – this was put in both invitations: without RSVP = without providing food,” she wrote on the parent site.
In total, 32 children were expected to be present. “Now I had 18 of the confirmed school + 6 sisters and 8 families [members]. Happy days, ”she explained.
Of course, there were still some parents who left their children at the party – despite not accepting the RSVP deadline in time.
Considering how strong this mother was with her party food rules, those two unexpected kids did not get lunch boxes.
This was not going well with the parents of hungry children as they could not believe that the mother did not have any additional food.
“It wasn’t a slap, it was fitted with the second boxes for allergies. I am not putting my niece at risk. It also cost me less than a slap making boxes for everyone, and much less waste,” Mom of the Rig Online.
Fortunately for this mother, many commentators confirmed her feelings by agreeing with the way she treated things.
“Yanbu (you’re not unreasonable). The warning was given in invitations, they presented them so they have to read it because they know when and where to come,” one person wrote.
“Thing with reservations [lunchboxes] How much do you do? Also, some children may give up the second for the disease, change the circumstances of the day and they end up lost. You followed and explain that there would be no foot for them without an RSVP … you were not unreasonable, ”another commenter withdrew.
“Yanbu (you are not being unreasonable). Maybe they will make them think twice to be so rude in the future. If their children were upset, it is completely for them,” someone said.
However, many other commentators thought children should not suffer for the carelessness of their parents.
“I would have done some extras because you punished the children for their parent,” one person wrote.
“Good for you, but I would have brought a little extra food by anticipating this. Parents deserve it, but children not,” someone else said.
“I don’t think you are unreasonable, but I would definitely have made some additions. Get why you didn’t!” A commentator offered. “Just a part of my culture to overload.
