A mum has taken to the internet for opinions on a sticky situation with a fellow parent – and it all revolves around a child’s party bag.

The mum explained that she hosted her son’s eighth birthday part over the weekend. Invitations were sent out in December, with an RSVP date of January 7th.

“We hired a magician and included personalised party bags that the magician makes himself – they have each child’s name on the stuff inside and it also included a magic wand and some of the tricks he did on the day so the kids could try themselves at home,” the mums explained.

“They were a quite expensive addition but I didn’t mind as I thought it was a nice touch. I also ordered Domino’s Pizza and just enough for the partygoers as again it can be very expensive.”

However, a child who didn’t RSVP turned up to the birthday party.

“The mum has form for being a bit of a pain in the ass. I did say, ‘Oh you didn’t RSVP, it’s absolutely fine to stay but sorry I don’t have a party bag for James, just to warn you.’ She looked annoyed and just said ‘I did RSVP didn’t I?’ And checked her phone before saying, Oh dear I forgot. What a shame he won’t have a party bag.’

“She then told me James is now vegan like her (was previously vegetarian). I said, ‘Oh sorry there are no vegan pizzas ordered’. Again she looked annoyed and said how it would be awful not to feed him, so I said it was fine I’d call Domino’s now to add one onto the order.”

“She shared it with him and took the leftovers home. I was pissed off, if that was me I’d have at least ordered one myself for my child, but this woman is deeply entitled. I would never leave a child without food though and feel like I did the right thing.”

But that’s not where the drama ended.

“I’ve had a text today to say how upset James is that he didn’t get a party bag, apparently the other kids are all bragging about their magic tricks that they’ve learnt with the party bag stuff and he’s feeling left out (she is forever messaging the mum’s group moaning he’s left out and nobody is his friend and expects us all to prioritise this with our own kids) and that I should have had spares.

“I haven’t replied but would I be unreasonable to tell her that she should have RSVPd and the only person answerable to her son is her and her husband for sloppy organisation, and that plenty of children in the class didn’t attend the party. Also that I made reasonable adjustments for the food at my own expense. My husband thinks I should send my bank details and ask for the extra $10 the vegan pizza cost!”
