My son was uninvited from a party after the parent lied and said it had been cancelled - but people are saying it's all my fault
A furious mother has sparked a fiery parenting debate online after claiming her young son was dis-invited from a classmate's birthday party. Sarah, from Birmingham, took to her TikTok @momof_4our_ to vent her frustration after her child was suddenly uninvited just days before the big day - but not everyone was on her side. She explained that she forgot to RSVP to her son's friend's birthday party invite for a 'couple of weeks' but when she eventually did she was told the party was no longer going ahead. However, a few days later the mother-of-four revealed her son was getting messages from his friends asking him why he didn't attend the party. In the clip she said: 'Put a finger down if one of your children got invited to a party, you text one of the parents on the invitation, bearing in mind it was a couple of weeks later because I'm cr** at texting people, to thank them for the invite and saying that your child was really looking forward to coming. 'For them to respond and say the party had now been cancelled, however this said party took place yesterday, all of my child's friends were texting him saying "why aren't you at the party, how come you're not here?"' Sarah fumed that the other parent had lied to her about the party being cancelled, saying they were always going to find out that it went ahead. She added: 'So the parent lied and said the party was cancelled. Look why invite my child to a party if you're gonna pretend it's not on anymore? 'I just don't understand they all go to the same school what did you think was gonna happen? My child was actually really upset yesterday and I think it's disgusting behaviour to be honest.' However, not many were on Sarah's side, with many claiming it was her fault for not RSVPing for weeks. One person said: 'Should have replied earlier, it's so annoying when parents don't text back for numbers and parents have to pay according to numbers, they probably meant your invite was cancelled because you didn't reply.' To which Sarah replied: 'She said the venue had been double booked and she would let me know when they find another venue so clearly didn't mean that!' Another added: 'You probably let her know after she'd already confirmed numbers and she felt awkward about telling you it was too late. She should have been honest though so you knew it wasn't meant maliciously.' Another added: 'Should have text her back in a few days, doesn't take five mins to send a text back saying you can attend.' A fourth added: 'You replied weeks late. Maybe they felt bad saying they can no longer come so just said it's cancelled' Another agreed, adding: 'To be honest this is on you. It's infuriating that parents do not respond for weeks. I had someone turn up at my son's party that RSVPed no which was absolutely fine. However not many were on Sarah's side, with many claiming it was her fault for not RSVPing for weeks However others were on the mother's side and said they 'feel bad' that her child was uninvited because of the mix up 'I had enough also had three people turn up that never even bothered to answer the invitation, which is quite rude. 'Parties cost a lot of money - it takes two seconds to reply. Yes you're coming or no I can't come.' However others were on the mother's side and said they 'feel bad' that her child was uninvited because of the mix up. One person said: 'I feel so sad for him.' Someone else wrote: 'That's not fair, like your son was never going to find out. People just need to be open and honest.' Another added: 'I don't get how some comments are putting the blame on you for not responding sooner, end of the day that parent did not think about how this would make your child feel when he would find out, knowing he would find out about it. It's pure evil.'

Man Says He Was Disinvited from Group Trip He Planned After He Refused to Split This One Cost
A man says he was disinvited from a trip he planned after he refused to split one of the costs The man initially arranged a trip with his brother that soon turned into a group outing, he wrote on Reddit. When the group expanded beyond who would fit in his car, he says, he was unwilling to pay an extra $1000 to rent a car He then discovered he'd been removed from the group chatA man says he carefully crafted a travel itinerary for his brother and friends, then one big expense got him disinvited from his own trip. The traveler shared his frustration in a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum, claiming the unexpected drama left him questioning whether or not he did the right thing. He opens the post by noting that the trip to an unnamed big city for the weekend was originally going to be for just him and his brother, but quickly expanded to include several of his brother's friends.

For transportation, he planned to drive everyone in his car. After the details were hashed out, a friend of a friend, Adam, who "wasn't part of the plan at all" said he wanted to join, not for vacation, but because he had a business trip in the same city and wanted a lift, the OP claims. Including Adam would push the number of people over the limit that could fit in his car. Instead of finding another driver and splitting up the group into two cars, the OP says they decided to rent a larger vehicle. The added cost would be $1000 for five days, he claims, 'Just to make room for Adam, who wasn't even vacationing with us.' The OP put his foot down, telling the group he wouldn't spend the extra money. 'I didn't think it was fair to take on that extra cost just to accommodate someone who wasn't part of our group,' he wrote.

Soon he received a text from his brother asking if he would be 'okay with not going' on the trip. "I didn't back out — I got pushed out of the trip I planned,' the OP wrote. 'I'm pretty upset, especially since my own brother was part of it,' he confessed. 'I didn't make it about money or control — I just didn't want to foot the bill for someone else's business trip.' In the comments, fellow Reddit users offered up their opinions on the man's story. 'Your brother and his friends then acted like entitled children, created drama, and excluded you,' wrote one person. 'Good riddance to that trip with them, honestly. Let them deal with Adam and the rental. You did nothing wrong by standing your ground.' While another user offered some advice: 'Take a nice trip somewhere by yourself if you can afford it." Read the original article on People
