B-party

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I would like to thank everyone for the ideas for my sons bparty. I

turned out to be a flop. I invited 12 boys and order enough pizza to feed them

all. I had 6 24 slice pizza delivered at 5:15. They came but only 2 kids were

here. Then I had planed to take them mini-putting at this place that has glow

in the dark putting. It is really cool. But the was canceled cause I was waiting

for the other kids to come. To make matters worse this was a surprise party so

it did not work.

The only thing that went right that whole night was his teacher showed up for

the joke gift at the time she was to show. I wish the party was going the way I

planed cause I had the cam-corder set up to tape his face from seeing the

teacher here with pillow in hand. It was priceless.

So no other kids showed up and I was so hurt for , but he seemed to like it.

They just watched The Fast and The Furious and ate snacks all night.

All in all I hope and think he had fun.

The next day he won a silver medal for coming in second in his ball hockey

league, got one to. Both were on the same team.

This is usually one advantage of making them RSVP. Of course sometimes they

STILL don't come, so perhaps you did that?

I'm so glad wasn't upset.

Lori - it sounds like enjoyed himself, despite the low turnout.

I'm sorry things didn't go as you planned. ( I feel so bad for you but

am relieved that it hurt your feelings more than it did 's.

If I were nearby, I would have gladly DROPPED my kids OFF! ;o)

Hey Lori. I'm glad they boys had fun.....even if only

two showed up. I really am a believer in RSVPing. I

think it is very rude to not call and let people know

if we will be coming or not for just this reason. Its

hard to plan food and activities if you don't know for

sure how many to plan for. I wish everyone felt that

way. But at least the kids enjoyed it. The medals

must have made a great follow up day too!

Good to hear from you...

Thanks Sue,

I know he enjoyed it and is happy with who did come. He said to me that he knows

who he really friends are.

I will tell him for you.

Re: B-party

Lori,

The fact that he seemed to have a good time would make it a success. Try

not to let it hurt you that the other kids didn't show. Tell him Happy

Birthday for me!

Salli I phoned each parent myself. I told them what I was going to do and that

it was a sleep over. Out of 12 parents only 1 said that their son could not

come. So the day before I re-phoned all the parents and confirmed and they all

said that they would be coming.

Grace I think that would have been something. First of all GIRLS at my party

really mom I don't think so, (see mom is not to know I like girls) and 2 they

are younger then and that would have been a problem, way to much noise for

him while watching TV.

But I would of loved to have them.

Lori: That is just plain outright RUDE!!!!!! How

awful of those parents to say their child would be

there and then not show!

He just wants me to think that girls still have cooties. I know different from

his friends at school. He has a good bunch of friends they tell me a lot of

things about things other then . I am an easy mom to talk to they say and

down to earth about things.

So I guess I am cool to his friends. Maybe that is why his friends parents are

OK now I'm PISSED OFF! What assholes.

Too bad you can't send them all a bill for their portion of the pizza

and other costs that were wasted by their no-show kids.

Or at least a phone call back letting them know exactly how rude they

were.

Or even better, an " innocent " call to ask about their children's

state of health? Oh, you mean your son wasn't sick? I just assumed he

was, because you had CONFIRMED he'd be at our party and we made food

arrangements and all . . . "

OK, I know, I know, this type of retaliation just makes things worse

in the long run. But wouldn't it be sweet? LOL

-BJ, sputtering mad

[Guest guest]

Sue that would be a funny if it ever happen to one of them. That could never

happen to one of them. See I am one that the parents don't like because I don't

have a husband at home any more. I have proved to them that I can look after

three kids and still have parties. They don't know how much it broke me to do

this but I still had one.

They just don't like me to much.

I would love to go onto to it more but is in so much pain with his head

right know he has been crying for the last half hour. I think it looks like a

hospital visit tonight for me and 2 other kids.

Lori,

Given this information, you have every right to feel hurt, and pissed as

hell!! How inconsiderate of those parents! What kind of example are they

setting for their children?? I wonder how they'd like it if the same thing

happened to their child?

I'm so sorry... I can remember having a party or two like that (myself). But

remember and I honestly believe this everything can done with the help of one

good friend. that's really all he needs.

I'm glad he's ok and had a good time with his ball hockey

That's so awful... you did an amazing job bringing the party

out as a success, you deserve a medal too )

Good to hear he still had fun. I think I'd have great

trouble in your shoes not letting those rude parents have

it. You must have a will of iron not to wring their necks.

Lori,

Well that was just down right rude for those parents

to tell you that their child was coming and then not

to show up! RSVP means nothing anymore, but when you

take the time to pick up the phone to call them and

the people tell you yes!!!! That just leaves me

speechless.
