S/O being excluded from birthday parties

[Anonymous]

No,15:05, this was my first post to this threadand I rarely post to this web site. Anyway, I don't know what is not classy about my point. I am surprised that no one commented about having young children haing their nails done. Haven't there been lots of threads about nail fungus on this site?

I hope Dad is reading this: your daughter is and will be a bitch. But that's ok. Your wife is probably a bitch too and since you're an asshole, I'm sure at some point you will all get your just deserts. When you have some teenage queen bee slut to contend with, you'll wish you taught her some manners.

My problem with the situation is that the parent seems glad that the daughter told the older girl why she wasn't invited in a cruel way. The right thing to do would be to have the daughter apologize, not for not inviting the girl, but for being mean to her in telling her why. Then work with the daughter on a kind and appropriate way to address these situations next time (e.g., "My parents only let me have a few people.").

Ummmm. More to the point, who in hell lets their 7 yr old dictate proper behaviour? If she'd said she didnt want to go to school, no parent would have listened.

You're a real class act. You realize your words lack any credibility at all when you refer to a seven year old as a bitch, right? But I guess you know what it's like to be one so you have some frame of reference...

1. He agreed that would have been the better way to go.
2. At the end of the day, this was the seven year old responding to another girl challenging her why she wasn't invited. Go back to when you were seven. Would you have handled it 100% properly? Dad didn't tell her what to say. He heard about it after it was done and said here that he counseled her on why that wasn't nice. He doesn't have a time machine. He can't undo it.

No, believe it or not many of us find it offensive that people are pathetically calling a seven year old a bitch. I happen to be one of those people. Sweetie.

No one is saying he should, but in the original post describing the situation, the parent seemed to think it was funny and that the other girl "had to learn sometime" or some such nonsense. No one is blaming the little girl, but it is the job of the parent to follow up with her and reinforce that the behavior was not appropriate, not smirk about it.

Please see 15:22. And that's just on this page.

Ok, I'm not blaming her, and my post is the one you are quoting and arguing with.

I may not agree with exactly the way Dad handled this, but I just cannot relate to the PPs who got so angry and riled up about this. Must be the "last to get picked for the teams" kids all grown up? Former victims of a Queen Bee? Seek therapy.

Because my daughter wanted a party that was somewhat pricey, I told her to limit the number to 5. Once she decided on the 5, I emailed the parents a "save the date" and told them to please understand that I had to limit number of invitations.

It worked out well. Parents had fun, as I served food and wine!

Well done PP!

I have been thinking the same thing. Hope Jeff reports in here.
