That movie will just teach some of these mothers that their kids really have undiagnosed anxiety when they rescind invitations. They are powerless against the forces of puberty and their kids are really kind deep deep deep deep down, its just not apparent in the behavior…… |
Wow, look at the pot calling the kettle black. Do you even see how off putting and high handed you sound? I'm not the poster you responded to btw. |

I didn’t log on to talk with you. You’re not important. The dynamic that PP discussed is all over this thread. Wow indeed. |
Ha I knew you were Indian just by the way you write. Too bad you couldn't figure out that I am Indian too. |
Off your meds?? |
OR it teaches that kids aren’t born good friends and don’t necessarily just copy their parents or obey their parents’ commands. They feel, they learn, they figure this out. It’s a process. |
I’m not Indian. But your attitude is not surprising. It’s going to rebound on you and DC quite badly one day soon. |
This also doesn’t really work once kids are middle-high school age because most (not all) kids that age want to be w peers not their family. |
This is the most insane screed I’ve read on dcum. First of all, referencing second grade on a board for teens and tweens. Second for suggesting I’m “weak willed and passive” because I am not hosting a 50 person party on Halloween. I don’t care what PP does. If she wants to open her doors to her entire neighborhood, she can feel free and of course I wouldn’t judge her. The person judging is OP - judging my teens, my “culture” (as if she even knows what that is!!), you for judging my personality. Just no - no one is obligated to host Halloween at all, much less obligated to invite all their tween and teens’ friends’ parents. Get a life and your own friends instead of trying to live through your kids. |
News flash - you don’t know my culture. |
That poster was not “suggesting a party” - she was insisting that everyone do it her way or they are inhospitable and of a lesser culture. |
I do, and so did PP. And unlike you all, I don’t live through DC, who are great at making and keeping friends over years. I’m better than you and raising DC that are better than yours as far as grades, abilities and social skills. DH and I aren’t petty, don’t exclude, and don’t make excuses. And I relish in calling things what they are here, and know you’re whiny because it’s accurate. |
Yes she did. Learn to read. “You invite every one and their kids, which means that siblings will also attend.“ Now imagine you have three teens and they want to invite ten kids and now you have to invite parents and maybe step parents and you can see how it’s just total nonsense. No, it’s ok to host pizza for the teen that asks and not open it up to all their family members. |
This has to be a troll. No one is this crazy. |
