Mum slammed as 'bats*** crazy' after being mad at kid's birthday party outfit

A mum has been slammed as "bats*** crazy" after being furious at what her best friend's child wore to a birthday party.

A woman took to Mumsnet to tell fellow parents her friend had hosted a first birthday party for her baby daughter.

Due to Covid restrictions the baby's mother had allocated guests their own specific time slot to attend and see the child.

The friend said she was unable to make her allocated time slot as her own daughter had a football game and the baby's mum reallocated a a time slot, half an hour later.

However when the woman turned up straight from her child's football match she later received an unpleasant text from her so-called bestie, slamming her for not making more effort.

The woman told mumsnetters: "It was my friend's daughters 1st birthday yesterday. She had given everyone set time to show up for dropping off presents and to see her dd (darling daughter).

"My family was assigned 12-12:30 I text her during the week to say we would be there but would be slightly later as my dd football finished at 12.

"She changed the time to 12:30-1 which I said was no problem. After football we drove to her house and my dd was still in her football strip.

"Today she has texted me saying 'Hi I wasn't going to say anything as I didn't want to make you feel bad but I was very upset that ....... showed up to ..... 1st birthday party in her football strip given the fact I changed your time to accommodate her football. It would of been nice if you could have made an effort and got her changed into proper party attire.'

"I still haven't replied as I don't no what to say.
"WIBU (Was I Being Unreasonable by not changing dd8 out of her football strip?)

However mums came out in their drives to slam the baby's mum for being "batsh8t crazt".

One said: "Reply 'are you aware of how batsh*t you sound? Get a grip'"

Another agreed: "Have I read it wrong, it wasn’t actually a party was it? You had a half hour time slot to visit and give a present. Basically stand at the front door for half hour? If so then your friend is crazy!!!"

"Just ignore it. She is completely bonkers," said another.

Another added: "She’s bananas. I sort of hope she’s reading this and cringing herself inside out."

However some could see the woman's point of view.

One mum said: "did you take a gift? did anyone take photos? i'm guessing she wants to show off photos and a footie strip ruins her vibe a bit."
