A mother has been slammed for taking her uninvited child to a birthday party.
The woman who threw a party for her own child explained that the mother of one of her child’s friends brought her kid to the party but also took the older sibling.
However, the older sibling demanded party gifts and plenty of food, leaving not enough for other kids who actually received an invitation.
The woman took to Mumsnet and wrote: “Now I know some people have to bring siblings and ask in advance. However, I know this person doesn’t ask, as they brought their older sibling to my child’s party a few weeks ago and didn’t ask.
“I had made packed lunches, so I didn’t have extra boxes. In fact, they didn’t even say when arriving.
“The very rude child then demanded lunch and a party bag, the mum was oblivious and today was style same.”
The woman continued: “Today this sibling who is at least 5 years older than the birthday child took prizes when not enough for the actual friends of the birthday girl.
“AIBU, or should I and all parties over cater for everyone to bring siblings?”
Her post sparked a lengthy debate as other parents gave their opinions, with one writing: “I hate this new thing of siblings coming to parties. It p****s me right off. Yes, I understand they might have to be there to drop off and the parent not able to stay for the party but that is preferable that an uninvited guest just coming.”
Another commented: “I’ve had this too, I ran out of party bags for DC’s friends because of unexpected siblings taking them. Lesson learnt and they are kept hidden until going home time.”
A third said: “Why wouldn’t you just say something to the mum? More fool the people who just allow it.”
Someone else added: “Extremely rude behavior.”
