[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought this was going to be about 3 year olds and even at that I would encourage you to just invite the one. By 6th grade?! What the hell are you being sensitive about? Just invite the one kid![/quote]

When my son was 6-7 years old, he had a friend who was a twin. We met them as a set and originally hung out with boy twins together. My son liked the nicer twin better. The bad twin would end up upsetting one or both my children and was very rough. Soon we stopped inviting both twins. I wanted to invite the nice twin my kid liked more but I couldn’t find a way to invite just one twin so we didn’t have them over and stopped inviting them to parties. We eventually moved when my son was 9.[/quote]

I'd have just said "Bertrand would like to invite Giles over." If the mother said "What about Henry?" I'd be honest. "Bertrand and Henry don't get along based on their last interaction, so I think it's best they take a break from each other. Can we look forward to seeing Giles on Thursday? Happy to pick up and keep him through dinner." [/quote]
