What the actual fuck. I have so many questions, and no desire to hear the answers.

agree with her tbh, the man was very rude not to respond saying he couldn't show up.
People are getting ruder and ruder these days, apparently a study has shown that the rise of mobile phones etc has also resulted in increased flakiness, which i can atest to

So the boy's mother and Mrs Lawrence were not friends and never spoke, and apparently there was no invitation or contact details. So my question is this. How did she confirm that he was initially going to attend and why would she allow her child to do so if she didn't know any of the details beforehand? So there must've been some way his parents could've contacted her ahead of time to say he wasn't able to come. The invoice is over the top though, so she should just swallow for it and bin the Cruella de Ville impression.

what babies, the parents who did the birthday party
surely if you can afford all the costs (renting a place, food, entertainment) to have a party in the first place, you can handle a 15 pounds loss. some people are just so tacky. if I were the no-show kids parent I would say 'go ahead and sue me' because it wouldn't hold any ground in a court at all. absolutely silly.
what's even more silly than the birthday parents sending a bill is the person who thought it was worth a writing an article about. slow news day?

an invitation to a birthday party is a gift in fashion and form. RSVP-ing to an event is not a contract of any means, particularly when the party in question invited is not of legal age. it's a silly thing to send the invoice. particularly considering she slipped the 'bill' into the childs book bag at school with no permission to do so (that is the most frustrating thing about it all to me)

agree with her?
it was an invitation to a birthday party. there is a level and degree of maturity that should be expected from adults. say the child went to the party and left the party bag, or whatever the cost of she is complaining about, behind. it would be no different
it seems to me that the 2 mothers have a bit of a history of drama between them and this is just an extension of that.
it's 'nice' to inform someone if you can't make an event, yes, but to dare imply that you could take legal action against something like this is just silly and lacking in maturity
