Here is a story most of you are probably familiar with. Kid gets invited to a classmate's birthday party. 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.

    If money is that important to you, you should not be wasting it on a bday party. On the other hand, if the no show parents can possibly pay their portion they should, along with an apology and great thanks that their child was remembered. It would only serve the other mother a reminder in proper etiquette.

        That doesnt even make sense. The Law doesnt say that if you are invited to a party that you have to pay if you dont show to the party

            I think that Julie should just get a refund. I she did that there would not be any arguing beetween the two. Plus its just 25 dollors let it go

              I don't know if it is that important, do we do Alex and Charlie for the critical thinking question? Or just pick one?

                I do not understand why it is a big disagreement over a couple of dollars, let it go, it is only like 15 dollars! It was a good story though
