@therantingpodcast: AITA for telling my 12-year-old daughter she did nothing wrong by inviting another friend when the first friend didn't respond? How long is long enough to wait for a reply? 🤔 🎧Ep 134: Waterpark Invite Drama, Choose Your Hill, Having "Mid" Parents & Getting a Kidney from Santa #podcast #aita #tween #waterpark #invite @Miranda @Nick Arriaga

Absolutely not. Snooze you lose. And daughter obviously lied to her mom about being able to go.

If I was B’s mom I would’ve offered to bring B to the park so all three kids could have a fun day.

A message or call saying ‘let me check’ would have saved her spot for a bit

The mom probably did the whole interrogation and made her wait for an answer which caused her to miss her spot now she tryna muscle in cuz her kid is mad at her

People saying she should have responded in a timely manner are weird. It's 9 at night. No one is expecting to be invited on a last minute trip at 9pm.
-Is OP wrong for having their daughter invite another friend, no.
-Is friend B, wrong for not responding quick enough, also no.
-Is it ok for friend B to become emotional about it, yes absolutely. She's a human. People are allowed to have feelings.
-Is it wrong for the mother of friend B to try to make OP feel bad, yes.
All of these can be true at the same time.

What did B tell her mom??? She knew the invitation had moved on to someone else and still told her mom she’d need a ride?

As someone whos been in this situation many times she's NTA at all I would advise thag friends mom to get it together because behavior like that is what will make your kid no longer be invited to things.

I think B jumped right on it but it was Bs mom that held up the response so it was her fault her daughter missed out.

Its fair if you don’t respond and someone else responds saying they can go then you lose out

On the account that both girls spoke before bed, the problem is the mom feeling like she was invited.

Nope!!! I called her. I texted her. She didn’t respond. I called another friend. It’s not that deep. Wow. A whole dissertation on why I should’ve waited?? Crazy work!!

I would have told my daughter to text, a specific time to hear back or they would ask someone else. Setting the expectation, that if you don't reply by 10, we'll invite someone else.

She had time to respond she didn’t and they had a talk about it so no bad blood was between them. The mom is 100% the problem

:NTA but maybe give someone a deadline to respond by that way there’s no room for misunderstanding.
