Parents know how much goes into planning a child’s party so it is very selfish not to rsvp in time … You’ll find it’s those same parents who don’t rsvp or do and don’t show up, that will probably make a major fuss if they got that treatment from other parents.

I totally agree with you. A simple yes/no would be fabulous.

A parent who got me really worked up this year is the one who confirmed first, then asked if I could pick up her daughter to bring her to the party. I couldn’t grasp what she thought would happen to the other kids I’m supposed to meet at the venue, if I was playing taxi driver to her kid. And she lives less than 10 minutes from the venue, so we’re not talking about anything onerous. When I said no, she said her then she was afraid her daughter wouldn’t be able to make it; has other plans. Huh!

You have no idea how many times I have thought your exact same thoughts, but get too worked up about other parents disrespect and irresponsibility when I tried to put pen to paper. Where do these parents get off! What makes them believe that their disrespect is socially acceptable? What bothers me more is, is this rudeness being rubbed off on their innocent children. I do believe though that these parents are more interested in their selfish selves than the social interaction of their children. There I go getting worked up again, but name calling is all I can resort to because these socially retarded parents are too pitiful to even engage words with and don’t even get me started on some parents conduct in school parking lots!

I can’t agree with you more. What is it with other parents. Its like no one has time to care enough about keeping arrangements or commitments. When are they important enough then? Like with your son, its so hard to explain because its not really fair.
