Being a parent is a difficult endeavour requiring a great deal of liability. So nobody can comprehend a parent better compared to another parent. Keeping great associations with other parents is significant to set a genuine model for your children and this way ensures that they’ll have companions that will treat them right. In any case, throughout everyday life, there are circumstances where keeping a decent connection with somebody turns out to be hard as a direct result of their actions. Here in this story a mother of her 10-year-old child experienced an indiscreet parent with whom she chose to no longer engage. Read the story and let us know your views.

My son just turned 10, and for his birthday wanted to do a superhero slumber party. We did something similar the last two years (not for his 9th birthday for obvious reasons), and they all had a blast. The party started around 3:00, we did pizza, movies, popcorn and designed superhero masks.
My son is/was friends with a boy named James from his class. He came to the last two sleepover parties, and while well behaved, it was his parents who I felt were the problem. When we send out the invites, we tell the parents when the party is and what time to pick the kids up the next day. For the last two parties, James was always the last one to be picked up.
For his 8th birthday, we specifically stated that all kiddos should be picked up by 11:00AM. We had plans to go to my in laws for his birthday party, which was on his actual birthday. We had five boys (including our son) at the party, and three of them were picked up by 11:00AM. At 11:30, I texted James’ mom and asked if she was coming to get him, she said she was on her way. I assumed she ran an errand and was just running behind, no big deal.
By 12:30, she hadn’t shown up, I texted her again and I reminded her that we had somewhere to be and she needed to get here as soon as possible. She responded that she was eating lunch and would be there soon. By 2:00PM I texted her again and let her know that she needs to pick up her son ASAP, that we were getting ready to leave in an hour and her son was not invited to come with us. I had assumed that would prompt her to come get him.
By 4:00PM my husband left with our kids to my in laws, and I called James’ mother. I left her a voicemail and told her that if she was not at my house in thirty minutes to pick up her son, I was calling the police to inform them that he was an abandoned child. She showed up within fifteen minutes to get him. She made a half-assed apology about how she was busy with errands and running her other children to their activities.
Today I received a text message from her about why James was not invited to the sleepover party. Apparently one of the other moms was talking about how much fun the kids had at the party, and she wanted to know why her son was not invited. So I told her the truth, that her son was not invited because I was not sure if she would come get him in a timely manner and without disrupting our plans for the rest of the day. I explained that any time her son is at my house, she is always late to pick him up and I was tired of catering to her schedule. She called me an uppity b**ch, and has since blocked me on social media and her phone.
What do you think about her decision to not invite her kids?
