Mum reveals reason son uninvited to party

A mom says her child has been left heartbroken after he was invited to a birthday party. Only to be uninvited. 

Sarah shared her story on TikTok, revealing she “honestly cannot believe” she even had to make the video in the first place. 

“Put a finger down if one of your children got invited to a party, you text one of the parents on the invitation,” she begins.

“Bearing in mind it was a couple of weeks later because I’m crap at texting people to thank them for the invite.”

“The parent lied” 

She explained how excited her son had been about the party and getting to spend time with his classmates outside of school.

Only, the mother hosting the party responded with a text Sarah hadn’t anticipated.

“They respond and say the party has now been cancelled,” she recounted.

But that doesn’t appear to have been true.

“This said party took place yesterday. All of my child’s friends were texting him saying, ‘Why aren’t you at the party?’ ‘How come you’re not here?’ ‘We wanna see you,’” she explained.

Sarah and her son were hit with a cruel realization. The party had gone ahead.

“The parent lied. Lied and said the party was cancelled,” she said. 

“Why invite my child to a party if you’re gonna pretend it’s not on anymore? I just don’t understand.”  

“This is on you.” 

As a result, her son was left feeling excluded and confused.

“They all go to the same school. What did you think was going to happen? My child was actually really upset yesterday and I think it’s disgusting behavior,” Sarah shared. 

The comment section was divided.

Some sided with the host parent, arguing Sarah should have responded and RSVP’d sooner.

“Should have replied earlier. It’s so annoying when parents don’t text back for numbers and parents have to pay according to numbers. They probably meant your invite is cancelled because you didn’t reply,” one commenter suggested. 

Another agreed: “You replied weeks late. Maybe they felt bad saying they can no longer come so just said it’s cancelled.” 

“To be honest this is on you. It’s infuriating that parents do not respond for weeks,” a third added. 

However, others were quick to call the move cruel.

“Vileeeeeee! I’d [have] turned up at the party,” one parent said. 

“That’s not fair, like your son was never going to find out. People just need to be open and honest,” a second pointed out. 

One commenter even suggested confronting the mum directly: “I would have had to text the mum and ask why she lied. I wouldn’t be able to help myself.”
