You should have your own party the same day and have cake and ice cream and invite all the kids in the neighbor hood even the kids of the mom who has a party next door .........

So your three questions are irrelevant

I still think this could be the whole basis of this situation. OP, simply speak to the other mom....it is likely a miscommunication. Attitude is everything. This could all simply be a misunderstanding.

But, welcome to the forum. So glad you rushed here from wherever you usually talk to anonymous strangers on the internet to tell us all about the most pressing issue of your day/week/month/year/life to date. It does seem a bit strange to start out here by launching with this type of story ... but different strokes for different folks I guess.


That said ... according to your version, there is little to criticize in how you handled the situation. What is it you want from us though? Confirmation that you did the right thing? For us to blast the neighbour's behaviour even though it seems neither you nor we have any idea of exactly why what seems to have transpired actually happened?

Is anyone else tired of rude trolls replying to valid posts? It's not only just this thread it's everywhere.
Some people just need to vent. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't reply
People lack empathy these days.

Well, yes, that and also posters who don't bother to read the post, so they just belt out some random reply that doesn't really jive with what the OP was saying.

My mother spoke to the mother of the scout and was told...."Ellen can invite whoever she wants to come to her party......" I was no longer a Brownie....


65 years later, this person quizzed me about any memories I had of a birthday party, after we reconnected at a class reunion. I never let on that I remembered and she is still a self centered *****. She was still just inflicting pain......


A lot of people aren't really very nice. She professes to be a Christian, as well.

Hahaha, 65 years later, and still we remember. My mom, who is 88, remembers my father's cousin when they were teenagers in the church choir asking her what soap she used. She said, "Palmolive". The cousin said, "Well, I wish you wouldn't because it smells funny."

Now she has lunch sometimes with this woman and other cousins of my father's. Recently the same woman exclaimed at my mother's skin, saying how few wrinkles she has and what on earth does my mother use to keep her skin so nice? My mother said she was so tempted to say, "Palmolive soap", but she knew it would just be a whoosh.
