After having quite a few parties for both my boy's you do sometimes get some that don't show up after saying they would and quite a few times i've had a few extra little one's to feed because the child who is invited to a party has a younger brother/sister who then realize that their older sibling is going to a party and it looks fun so I've just said they can stay with their brother/sister as their is always extra food,drinks and party bags. What would this woman have done if the boy was sick (ask for a doctors report)
I do not think she has done herself any good here I only hope her child is not judged because of her actions. What a crazy world we live in.
