[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We could afford that type of party of our 10 year old but wouldn’t do it for exactly the reason here.

We are trying to to teach our child inclusion and kindness. We are trying to mold a functional adult who will help society.

OP is producing the next Paris Hilton or Donald Trump.

Whatever was in the bag, [b]was it really worth hurting the feelings of other girls?  You taught your daughter to rank friendships and value money.[/b] But, that’s America and American values. I pity you and your child. [/quote]

This. This thread makes me really sad for these young girls, the ones who were included and the ones who weren't. We seeing them learn how to justify casual cruelty, and learn that they shouldn't admit to having their feelings hurt if it might make someone else, who acted badly, feel bad.

These are 10-year-old girls. 4 girls play together most days after school. 3/4 went to a party and 1/4 made a decision, backed by her mother, that the friendship wasn't "old" enough to invite the 4th. The 4th 10-year-old is supposed to understand now that she is a "4th wheel."

Whatever happened to "invite all, or less than half?" That's why the other friend groups are much less of an issue. 2-3 off the sports team of 15? Fine. 2-3 out of a class of 20? Fine. 2 out of 3? Not fine.[/quote]
