[quote=Anonymous]I met my best friend when our oldest kids were babies.  Our kids have always played together because they are the same age.  Now they are older and have different interests, probably wouldn't choose each other for friends but get along ok when our families get together, as they've known each other all their lives.  They don't go to the same school or know anyone in common.

My kid is heavily into his sport; their kid does not like any sports at all.  We've always invited them for birthday parties, because, hey, what's one more at the bouncy house or swimming pool, right?  This year my kid wants to have a party where the kids play his sport.  Should I invite the family friend?  [b]My friend's feelings would be hurt if her kid is not invited[/b], but I don't think the kid would have fun.  I would instruct my kid to be inclusive, but it may be obvious that no one wants the friend on their team because they are good at the sport and he doesn't play it, and the friend won't know the rules like everyone else.  I don't think my kid would care one way or the other if the friend is invited, but he would probably chafe at being made to have to have the friend on his team instead of having the fun he wants.[/quote]
