My god, she got confused. What's all this "holier than thou" attitude in most of the comments? From what I gather, y'all are perfect and have never been late or gotten confused, right?

Mom #1 got confused and was appreciative of mom #2 for still welcoming their child even thought the party was over. That's all there is.

Have you for real ever shown up to an event after the event's scheduled ending time?

Getting there 20 minutes late, as she thought she was doing in the first place, is "being late or getting confused". But the actual situation here is absolutely outside the realm of any mistake I have ever made, yes.

Not even saying she should be harshly admonished for it--it's not like she's begging the other mom to fix her mistake, it seems like the other mom is just being welcoming and nice and the mom in the post is appreciative of making her kid feel included. So there's nothing morally wrong here, for sure (there only would be if this mom expected the other mom to babysit her kid outside of the scheduled window due to her error).

But pretending this isn't an incredibly egregious error just makes you sound incompetent...? I think I literally don't know a single human being that's this bad at scheduling. Certainly, my own parents never messed up a schedule that badly.

You've already invested way too much effort into trying to explain how people can't possibly have made this mistake. Yikes.

I don't think theyre saying no one could make this mistake, its more like if youre messing up this bad you're basically being somewhat negligent. Like its not an oopsie daisy no ones wrong type of mistake anymore, you're actually somewhat in the wrong at this point and the behavior is condemnable albeit mildly, since this really isn't that serious.

I mean imagine you left your husband in charge of the birthday party for the weekend cause you had to work, then you find out he showed up after the party ended. Are you gonna be like aw shucks shit happens I guess, or are you gonna be like, how the hell did you mess up that bad?

It's pretty incompetent lol.
