You always pick up your kid from preschool with a nasty scowl on your face and never say a single word to any of the other parents there and then think that everyone will want to rush out to buy a gift and spend a few hours of their precious weekend at your kid’s birthday party? —Sorry, But No

You’re being a big meany to that little girl. It’s her Birthday, not her Mother’s, so why does she suffer? Bitch!
imagine how crappy the poor kid would feel if no one showed up, that stuff sticks with you *sob*
You dirty bitch.
That party isn’t about the mom. It’s about the little kid that really wants to spend his special day with his friends. He’s an innocent nursery school age child. The words “nasty, catty bitch” aren’t in his vocabulary yet so he won’t understand that his little friend couldn’t come because that friend’s mom is a manipulative succubus. All he’ll know is that his birthday sucked a little more because his special friends couldn’t be there.
And you know what? I have a workmate that sounds like your bitch’s target. Turns out her husband is dying of cancer so she doesn’t FUCKING FEEL LIKE being friendly every goddamned day because her life is falling apart.
Rethink your priorities you idiot. You’re a monster.
seriously omg.. you’re just a HORRIBLE human being. This CAN’T be real..
In the late teenage and early adolescent years, there was several occasions where everyone (including parents) forgot The Captain’s birthday. Not a soul called/texted/wrote on my wall/showed up at the house…
I can imagine the devastation would be tenfold when it happens to a child. For kids, that’s one day… No, THE DAY for them to celebrate. Take your ego out of the occasion and have a little empathy for the children.
Will someone please think of the children!!!
It’s sad that a child’s birthday is an excuse for the moms to get bitchy. Yeah girls, lets not show up, that’ll teach her not to jog to Starbucks with us for $15 lattes on our $90 see through yoga pants. What about the poor kid, you know the one the birthday party is FOR? Buy a cheap toy and show up, you catty bitches can make the woman feel uncomfortable in her own home tee-HEE what fun. This is why I don’t go out of my way to socialize, most people are assholes and their kids will grow up to be assholes too. I’ve only met one other playground mom I like and in trying to figure out how to befriend her without seeming like a creep. It’s not fun for us socially awkward people you know lol!
WOW! I thought I was a mean old cunt!
Wow, being mean to a little kid because of the Sins of Thy Mother? Fucking pathetic. Like seriously. Probably one of the most fucking pathetic things I’ve ever heard. I can’t believe this is a bitch. Go out there and buy her twice the presents you were going to in apology and because it’s obviously hard on the KID to have a parent like that. That’s who you should be thinking of: THE KID. CHILDREN. As a parent, shouldn’t you NOT BE THIS STUPID?
I think your shortsighted brain is missing a few circuits.
Since when has it become common practice for the parents to attend the party?
I remember at all my young b-day parties(elementary grade-ish) the parents dropping the kids off and taking off for a few hours.
What the hell happened?
all the parties we had for the boy were dump and run, we usually went swimming or go karting. the times we had parties in the backyard most parents didn’t stay but were always welcome
Some people naturally don’t have happy faces (I am one). It doesn’t mean I’m not happy or have emotions or anything else. They may not say hi because they are shy. But hell, just judge people by their covers. That’s how politicians get elected. If I had a dime for everytime someone said ” I don’t like the way they look so I won’t vote for them”, is asinine.
Ssssss!! Consider yourself char-broiled OP!
My first thought was “what about the kid?” when I read this and it seems to have been everyone else’s as well. Except for you OP. You might want to think about that.
think about how bad it must be for the kid having a mother like that, then go out and buy something really special and spend a few of your precious hours at the poor kids party. geez.
cute bat, critter guy
What Tim said. I look sad and pissed off when I’m deep in thought. Some co workers have mentioned this and asked what’s wrong and I’ve been perfectly fine, just workin’ hard on my shit!
And maybe she doesn’t want to talk because she had a long day at work and wants to get the hell home and face the work that’s waiting for her there. I know I certainly don’t want to be social when I get off work; I can’t imagine having to work all day and go home and look after little kids.
You are a spiteful bitch, OB. It’s not about the mom, it’s about the little kid’s birthday. If your oh so sensitive feelings are hurt that easily because someone doesn’t fall all over you that you’d take it out on a pre schooler, than you really should take a good hard look at yourself.
