I'm beginning to think that maybe I'm a little odd. Is it just me that responds to party invitations immediately? If DS receives an invitation, I check out the calander and respond either yes or no within a day or two of receiving it. I sent our invitations for DS's party on 27 June with a deadline of 8 July for the party on 15 July. Out of 22 sent I have still only received 7 back and there are only 4 days to go until the 8th.
It annoys me so much to think that I am going to have to approach these mothers in the playground to ask them personally. It's such a cringe. I've been moaning to my mother about it and she has suggested that she does it for me if it bothers me so much - can you imagine the humiliation of that!
I know that not all mothers empty book bags or trays regularly but I gave them until today thinking that most would have done it over the weekend but still nothing. It's just bad manners.
It's stressful enough organising a wretched party without this - I swear I'll never have another again. Mind you, I said that after the last one
I'm hell to live with at the moment due to the stress of these RSVPs. DH is not much help either, all he can say is, "it'll be OK" or "god knows what you'd be like if you had something really serious to worry about".
Is it just a "mum thing" that men can't understand?
It sounds like an awful thing to say but roll on 16 July when it's all over
