[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]looking over the invite list produced by DD, i notice a friend is missing. I have overheard two of dd's friends professing their dislike for the kid. DD likes her, but seems unable / unwilling to sway the group dynamic.

1. WDYD when it's your own kid who sides with the bullies?
2. Opinions for managing the trouble at hand, namely the guest list

Making DD invite this girl can lead to hurt feelings; not inviting her will lead to hurt feelings; I'm contemplating asking DD to scratch the two kids who bully off the list, or figure out how to make peace for a night. Not sure they know how, though, because apparently the moms are also involved in bad mouthing this kid's family.

Thoughts? [/quote]

What if you gave your daughter choices?

1. Don't invite the two kids you don't trust to behave themselves.
2. Invite all three kids (the two you don't trust to behave themselves, and the one they dislike), and stay in the room the whole time. (Though a motivated non-behaving kid will find ways to get around your monitoring.)
3. Have a very small party, only two kids plus your daughter.
3. Do something else for her 13th birthday, NOT a party.[/quote]
