[quote=Anonymous][quote] How does OP know what friends the other girl has. I think the mom was driven by a desire to shield her child from rejection by OP's child. Imagine how desparate this mother must have felt to have reached out to you this way. [/quote] Even if the caller felt that her child was being excluded from the birthday party, there is no reason to feel "desperate." It would be much more useful to focus energy on building up her child's confidence and helping her to understand that it is ok not to be in this particular girl's group of BFFs. Calling to beg an invite is a bad reflection on the mom, her child. If she felt that OP's daughter was picking on her kid, she could have said that directly, but it doesn't sound like that was her issue. [/quote]
