Hosting

So this morning I hosted my very first play date at the house. I was up until almost three cleaning and making muffins and everything turned out great! The kids had a blast! Three moms came and five additional kids were at the house. A lot canceled last minute due to sick kiddos so I'm actually kinda glad. Not that the kids were sick but that it wasn't super packed and overwhelming my first time. We had lots of goodies to snack on including the muffins I was up all night making. The kids played the first hour which I expected and then we moved on the the actual craft. Problems arose, but it was no big deal. It called for permanent markers which I got but, unfortunately they wouldn't write on the paint. They still turned out pretty cute.
Some of the um excitement so to say are listed below.
I was sitting in the play room and overheard a conversation between the other three moms about little boys with mohawks/faux hawks. So I listen quietly and have never been so offended in my life. Now mind you the lady who made the comment is the lead of the mom group who organizes everything. Conversation is as followed.
Lead: You know how you see all these little boys like two or three walking around with mohawks? (In my head yes I have one of "those" boys) They usually have a dad behind them who has one himself but purple or blue and is all greasy and the kid looks like he's not taken care of. You just know they are on welfare.
Other mom: something muffled.
So me being me goes and stand by the table and pretend I hadn't heard anything so they would bring me into the conversation and I could make sure I heard her correctly. Mind you I'm calming myself down so I don't pardon my language but bitch slap her. One mom then say I mentioned that if I had a little boy(She has one daughter) I would so give him a Mohawk. Lead again proceeds to give her opinion that all little boys with mohawks are in families on welfare. So me being me point blankly states well my son has a mohawk. Does it appear that I am on welfare. Lead immediately gets a look on her face. And the other moms instantly get quiet. Lead Yeah but you can't tell your son has one. I said not today but he does. Again does it appear that my son is not taken care of and that we are on welfare. She literally sat there with her mouth open. The other moms quickly change the subject. I'm quite offended and taken aback by her closed mindedness and judgment. I walk away and go play with all the kids before I get myself kicked out of the group that I am now questioning.
Leads son thought it would be cute to dump a candle down my bathroom sink. Why I have no idea. He took a small candle that was lit in the bathroom and dumped the wet wax all in the sink. His mom apologized, but it still had me thinking what kid does that? His mom which so happened to be the lady who organizes the meet ups and is the head of the group tried her best to clean it all up but I still ended up pouring boiling hot water down the sink. As if that incident wasn't bad enough, once everyone left and I was in the process of picking up all of the toys I went into my front living room which was off limits and found the kid's huge book basket completely emptied. That wasn't a huge deal. So I'm picking books up and I see wrapping paper. I then see a box without wrapping paper on it and then I see the contents of the box on the floor. I'm super pissed. It's Kailee's Christmas gift from my brother and his family is Japan, However, I couldn't find the actual gift. I found the box and the paper the company used to put on top of the gift itself, but not the actual gift. SO I look around the two couches under the love seat everywhere. Then I get the lovely job of texting the other mom's to see if their kids new anything about the gift being opened and missing. I knew my two didn't do it, because they knew better, but not only that because this particular gift Kailee brings to me on a daily basis asking if she can open it. I always say no and her argument please mom it's just a little one. So I knew she wouldn't dare open it. Plus, not to sound like one of those mine would never do that moms, but I just know my kids. I know they would never ever open a Christmas gift behind my back. Anyways, so I send out a text to immediately get a call from the head lady saying her kids admitted to opening the gift, but claim there was nothing in it. They said they opened it because they wanted to see what was inside and then when they didn't find anything inside they hit all the wrapping and stuff by the couch. I remained calm but on the inside was screaming WTH? I mean really? Who does that? Who goes to someone else s house and opens a gift from under their tree? Luckily I went back to the couch and found the little bag that contained the gift way under the couch. I was seriously upset.
Despite all that excitement I have to say the kids had fun and hosting wasn't a horrible experience. I'm still super upset by the leads comment and have already signed myself up for a mom's night in tonight that I am now dreading going to.


Just got up from a nice nap with my mohawk spotin' little boy and princess. Yes her comments are still stuck in my head. I have two hours before I'm due and the mom's night in party. Hope I can get it off before then.
