Courtesy disagreement
My husband and I are having a disagreement on how to handle a situation. On Wednesday I got a phone call from another parent at my kids school about a birthday sleepover for THIS Saturday (tomorrow). Firstly I'm annoyed that she basically gave us 2 days notice, and secondly that they didn't send an actual invite....even an email with the details. I asked mom to please text me the details so we could make arrangements (it's in another town and I have a bridal shower and another birthday party 2 hours away) and she never did! My husband says I should call her and get the details....I'm kinda like 3 strikes and your out and feel like it's her kids party, she should make an effort to send out the details. I know it's not the birthday child's fault, but I feel like namely you should give more notice then 2 days and should not be flaky and get someone the details for YOUR child's party.

I'm not a fan of letting my kids sleep over anywhere but regardless, you're right. Other mom dropped the ball and can't expect much of a turn out with such little warning/no info

I agree with you but then again I would never let my kids spend the night in anyone's house. My husband and I are very over protective.
She sounds like a busy mom making last minute things happen for her son.
That's a big fat NOPE. Not only because we don't plan on letting our kids spend the night anywhere unless we know the family (as in family friends), but also the invite was super rude and it sounds like your ds doesn't even care.
If it's not important to your child I'd skip it.
Um. No. I would not go.
I wouldn't worry... growing up we weren't allowed to go to birthday party's without a formal invite anyway...
All of you just copied what I said! Followers!!!!!
Yeah if he doesn't care, then sorry Charlie. Next time maybe she'll be prepared.
I wouldn't worry about it unless my child was adamant about going.
He's 11. He could really care less either way. They aren't besties or anything, she just went through the class directory and called everyone (at 9 o'clock at night I might add)
I would pursue it if my child really wanted to go. Otherwise I think you are right. The kids mom should be reaching out and making the plans known.
That's tough. On the one hand I completely agree with you, how irresponsible of the mother and I'm not sure I would want my child under her care if she can't manage to send details for her own party.
On the other hand I would worry about my child missing out, and the birthday child as well. Sad that the children pay for their parents actions.
Honestly though if it were me, I probably wouldn't send my child to the party.
While I agree that the Mom slacked, if your child really wants to attend then I would reach out to the Mom and get the details.
What does your child think? Is he/she dying to go? If your child is young enough not to care, I would skip it.
