Is it rude to ask 'why wasn't I invited to...' We know some people that we do not party with. However related somehow. My daughter found sweet 16 of their kid and asked my why weren't we invited. Like 'that's rude! I said who cares? She said 'but I thought we were friends'... It took me a lot of nerves to explain it to her that this is rude to ask why wasn't I invited. And it is perfectly ok to not to invite people you don't think about at the moment. To me now I am happy if they forget me and if they remember me I am like...mad. Because I do not have life where I can have strength to party. So I am happy not to. I need to direct her to some sources where it says about 'etiquette'. However I had been reading so much and people are never in tune on these subjects.

Your daughter is in college. Why would she want to go to a sweet 16 party?

I thought everyone loved Loony's well-spoiled daughter! I am afraid they love her but they aren't my fans. So they couldn't invite just her. That would be rude!

My friend's college graduate DD comes to my daughter's college parties... I'm confused.
You said it was a Sweet 16 party, which are usually junior or senior year of High School. Is the party for the same person who goes to your daughter's parties? If so, why is she a college graduate at age 16?

Wait, I think I actually got this one! I think Loony is saying that it's not strange for a college student to go to a 16 year old's party because a post-college young adult goes to college parties. She's equating the two age differences for illustrative purposes. I think.

So the party is for the younger sister of the girl that goes to your daughter's events? It is not rude for your daughter to ask you why you feel they weren't invited, but you are right. It would be rude to ask them why she wasn't invited.

Kind of the opposite of "Why was I invited to the wedding when I don't know bride and groom."

However I had been reading so much and people are never in tune on these subjects. Emily Post has been considered the US expert on etiquette for several generations. You might want to point your DD in the direction of one of her books. However, I'm sure that once your DD is well versed in proper etiquette, she will find that, although many of us try our best, we're not all that well versed in proper formal etiquette. Hopefully she will forgive our shortcomings.

Out of all! She strikes again! DIFFERENT venues...different times...different people. Why? Am I supposed to talk about same people in one thread?

I am afraid they love her but they aren't my fans. I refuse to believe this. I know, right? They had missed few funny insults and at least one big put down! I am not even mentioning my signature drunken rampage about food and how cheap it all is! Its their loss anyway...

Maybe it had more to do with the mother of the dear daughter not getting invited.................
In the real world, college girls do not get invited to sweet sixteen parties, unless they are to provide the beer bongs and the beer, and some mothers actually have a problem with that.

Don't ask a question if you don't want the answer. The post was confusing to several posters, so clearly it wasn't a "stand along post"

The post was confusing to several posters, so clearly it wasn't a "stand along post" Actually, that could be the issue. A lot of Loony's post stand alone. Really, really alone. Which leaves us dazed and confused as to their true meaning. We need IowaSwirl to come back to the boards. She was an outstanding translator. Remember the wedding dress thread? She untangled that one in a jiffy. I bet she could unscramble Loony faster than you could say, "The Amish chicken man made off with my melons" ten times fast.

Repeating it does not make it seem any more sensible. It's like trying to read a Google map for the first time when you've only seen caveman drawings all your life.

There is nothing to unscramble when ones noodles are not so mushy! and not wrapped around same thoughts (amish chckens and mellons in every post).

And what are YOU talking about, girl? Your original statement wasn't a stand alone comment, it was in RESPONSE to Swamp's question: Swamp: Your daughter is in college. Why would she want to go to a sweet 16 party?
You: My friend's college graduate DD comes to my daughter's college parties...
Swamp: I'm confused. You said it was a Sweet 16 party, which are usually junior or senior year of High School. Is the party for the same person who goes to your daughter's parties? If so, why is she a college graduate at age 16?
It was confusing... why can't you just clarify what you mean instead of getting all worked up and point out how clear you were. Doesn't that seem easier?
