[quote=Anonymous]When given the choice between what's right and what's kind, always choose kind. You shouldn't knowingly create/allow a situation where there could be tension, thinking you'll teach the bullies a lesson or make the targeted kid feel included. It simply won't have that outcome. I think your choices are: -- Exclude the bullies. This has a natural consequences piece and also sends a message to your DD about choosing to associate with good friends. However, this is kind of an immature age and there could be blowback for your DD. -- Insist on inviting everyone. Again, could lead to problems and probably won't leave the targeted child actually feeling good at the end of the day. This would really only make YOU feel good. Also possible targeted kid will decline when sees invite list. -- Plan a separate event with DD and the targeted kid. A little goofy, but less potential for conflict. But if you do this, maybe ramp down the "party" too. [/quote]
