[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way would I want my child's birthday party to become a statement on this Bully.  That is not appropriate for a *class* party like this.

If you want to invite a few friends from school, a few friends from soccer, a few friends on your block - do it.  But do not single out one kid in your son's class for exclusion because you know what that will make you and your son?  Bullies.

Rise above Op.  If you invite the class that includes this kid.[/quote]

17:42 here and I disagree. Now you're excluding kids from class who didn't have anything to do with this to spare the bully's feelings. Either invite the whole class or exclude the bully and explain why to his parents (or don't). Have they even been informed of what's going on? I'd invite because its important for OP's son to see that someone has his back. We have little cousins who are slightly older and very protective of DD who could handle it. But even still, I'm happy to stand there and correct a bully if his parents are unwilling. Last year, we had a kid like this push DD into the deep end of a pool. I said something to the kid immediately, because I knew his parents would brush it off. They were embarrassed and left the pool. No problems since. Because we addressed the two cases of bullying (she was an easy target being the new kid in a new country), DD now comes to me alot sooner for advice. FYI, 90% of her social problems I expect her to handle on her own.[/quote]
