We just got back from DS's birthday party at the bowling alley. It was tons of fun - except for one situation that has really twerked me. :grumpy:
All of the kids that RSVP'd came. Then @ 20 minutes into the bowling party one kid who did not RSPV shows up - with his 2 siblings and parents (btw, I don't know this family, DS goes to school with the little boy). Since he was late I told him he'd have to wait about 10 minutes until they finished the first game and then we could add him in to play the next one, but to go ahead and get his bowling shoes. Well -this is where I start to get twerked - the parents tell all the kids to go get bowling shoes and wait until it's time to bowl . This is evidently a family of moochers! The parent's didn't ask if the uninvited kids could join in - just looked at me expectantly. Of course, I added them into the party - they bowled, they ate pizza and cake, they took goodie bags....they never said thank you or even brought my child a present....MOOCHERS I tell ya! I am still twerked! And, it's not that they can't afford it either - the parents paid for themselves to bowl in the next lane! Oh yeah, the parents ate pizza and cake too. The mom did apologize to me for not RSVPing .
This cost me $13.00 per kid. It's not the money so much as I think this is extremely rude. And on top of it to not even bring a card or at last a small present for my son.
So, what would ya'll have done? Am I off balance here (KG - zip it! :angel: )
