Parents respond with a resounding yes, but later realize they have a conflict and decide it's okay to skip the party without informing the host. End of story right? No, says this British mother who wants the errant party to pay for the cost incurred.

- koolkat12311년 이하it is so tacky it killed my brain
- Olivia11년 이하WOW! I mean, some kids say they can come to my birthday parties, but then don't show up too. But I don't get that mad. Sure, I wish they couldn't come, but, I don't care if I buy something that was supposed to be for them and they didn't show up to take it. THINGS HAPPEN. I'm pretty sure my parents would NEVER do something like that. And, from my perspective, when my mom does get a little mad, it just turns my "fun" party to a "stressful" party. I would feel bad for the birthday boy.
- Skylar11년 이하I agree that the mom was being reasonable to have the parents pay but she could have done it in a more respectful way
daizq11년 이하1.He had to go to his grandparents with his sister. His parents didn't tell the hosts of the party they weren't going. 2. Julie sent an envelope with Alex to give to his parents. Julie was mad because Alex's parents didn't say anything about Alex not going so she had to pay for him anyway. And she had asked all the parents rsvp before the event. 3. Tanya and Derek refuse to pay because the form was sent with the child instead of a single call. Julie is threatening to go to court. The author thinks the argument is about etiquette.- R11년 이하Wow
- RedneckPrincess11년 이하wow all this just because of a party
- cece11년 이하i think it is tacky because to go through all that trouble over a birthday party is redickulous and if he loses she wont get the money for the party anyway

punchy200311년 이하Wait Wait that's tacky their about to take 2 children to court because they didn't pay $25 but on the other side the British mom already payed for the stuff for each child and they didn't attend but in a way there really is no sense in this. Just forget it and the British mom and the other family pay half and half!
