Is this normal? I have never had one of my parties moved to someone else's house before. I'm not angry, I'm not upset.... I'm just stunned.
The last time I heard about something like this was in college - when a group we were peripheral to got their party kicked out of an apartment complex early one weekend evening due to loud music. The guys "hosting" the party remembered that DeHubby and I owned our own (small) house and came over to see if they could party at our house. They brought some snacks (dip, chips, and sodas) as well as beer.
DeHubby let them in with a comment that the party would end at midnight...............and they took out the trash for me before leaving.
That happened - but that was the only time I remember a floating party landing on our doorstep.........
That was in Texas, almost thirty years ago, and the circumstances were not very similar.
I'd say that Gee taking the party away from you was INCREDIBLY rude - but it sounds like the rest of the guest list was part & parcel of the rudeness - as they could have stayed at your home with you and your hubby. Hubby going along may just have been a desire to get the dishes back................
If there is a "next time" - I'd put the food up and suggest that the guests have fun with a sick baby and sick toddler BUT NO FOOD in the new location. But Snarky VorFemme does tend to have a sharp word or two at the ready............
Edited to add that we've never had a poker party - as the only time I've played was the time I lost a strip poker game to DeHubby in college. He lost track of the score, I think.................
The "floating party" was several guys, fewer gals, music, and "conversation" of the type that can happen while dancing................and as it was some twenty-nine years ago - I don't remember the details very well.
I have never had my FOOD picked up and taken away unless the guest was ASKED to take it out to the patio because my hands were already full. But my kitchen counter to my patio was as far as the food went.............
