Whatever happened to the RSVP?

I need to rant. Why does society think it is OK to not RSVP to an invitation?

I realized like 6 years ago society has forgotten how to RSVP. I stopped having birthday parties for my kids cause I was sick of it. But I thought this year I would let me son invite 5 school friends to a special party that is costing me a pretty penny since it is his last year at this school.

Guess how many RSVP’ed. THREE!

Two weeks ago I had my son ask the two kids I didn’t have an RSVP for to ask their parents and have them email me. Crickets.

One of the moms I know so was able to message her. She replied it was Father’s Day and she was working and her husband hadn’t replied to her yet if he had plans or not. Oops, my bad didn’t check the calendar when I booked the event.

However, it is now Saturday night (the party is tomorrow) and still no RSVP for these two kids. Pisses me off.

If someone invites you to an event you should at least have manners and RSVP to let them know if you can attend or not. Events cost money and most are a minimum attendance.

This also happened for our wedding. Our venue only held 45 people. We had to piss off a lot of people due to limited space. Only 20 bothered to show up.

My kid will enjoy his party with the two who did RSVP and can attend. But I am paying for five.

Back to no birthday party’s after this year and instead of having special family days that the kids pick.

Thanks for letting me rant.

The Last Battle If it should be that I grow frail The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this — the last battle — can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close — we two — these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Did your doctor tell you this is normal or give you a diagnosis you didn't agree with?

6 years ago we were told our youngest son had ADHD. I did not agree but was not able to get a second opinion. YAY a doctor shortage in Ontario. 

A blessing to our move is we ended up getting a doctor who listened to us. After 6 long years we finally got our autism diagnosis. 

A new blog post is up (link in bio) that explains how we knew it wasn't the ADHD diagnosis we were given.
