Yes, the kid should have called. But we are talking about kids, right?

I can think of half a dozen reasons why this happened. Most of them include a husband telling the party host their kid will show up...and then forgetting to tell the mom.

Not like I speak from experience or anything.

“Not like I speak from experience or anything.”

Nah!

Well, I don’t think the FIVE YEAR OLD should have called, but a parent. We’ve all been there, overwhelmed by raising kids, their schedules, work, etc.

To the extent people are just rude, with no care for anyone else ‘cept themselves, it makes me crazy. And it’s not a good example to set for your kids. In this case, there are no good parenting examples being shown.

Another article on this incident said that the “absent” child’s family did not have the information to contact the hosts and let them know the boy could not attend. This indicates there was no physical invitation, only conversation between people who didn’t know one another.

Weird stuff.
