[quote=Anonymous]My daughter just turned 10 years old we threw an all bells and whistles party for her.  We normal do smaller parties, but since she turned 10 we decided to celebrate at a very expensive venue followed by dinner at her favorite restaurant, a sleep over and a great goody bag.  The only rules were: You can only invite 8 girls and one of them must be your cousin (who she would have picked anyway).  We budgeted for 10 girls because we knew she would beg for 1 or 2 other ones and she did.  The cost per kid is over $150, so 10 was the absolute max.  She invited her cousin, her 2 closest friends from the competitive sport team she's been playing for, 3 friends from school, 3 neighborhood friends, and a girl she's been friends with since they were little.  She could have invited 10 other girls who she still considers close to her, but we set a max.  In the neighborhood my daughter plays with 4 girls.  She is close with 2 of them and we have all been neighbors for 5 years.  The other girl's family moved to the neighborhood about a year ago.  My daughter plays with the girl outside but she's not particularly close with her, and she was not one of the girls she invited.  One of my neighbors, who is friends with the new girl's parents told me that the girl's mother told her that my daughter was excluding her daughter and that I should have made her invite her so she wouldn't have felt left out.  Then the other day, a neighborhood child told my daughter that his mother said that it wasn't nice to leave (little girl's name) out.  Now, my daughter has many close friends she would have also liked to invite (before neighbor), it just wasn't possible.  But I'm annoyed this lady is going around saying that we are excluding her child.  My daughter doesn't get invited to all birthdays, it is normal, isn't it?  [/quote]
