[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When adults throw a party they envision the mix of people, who will get along and set a general budget.

Why should this not apply to kids?  How else will they learn how to host a party.  It is a skill that we learn....

A forced addition to any party just ruins the chemistry.  Save forced invitations for socializing with relatives and coworkers![/quote]

True, but adults have enough social maturity to not discuss the party in front of the people who are not invited. That's the real issue with the party. The daughter was obviously talking about the party in front of the uninvited girl. This is rude and mean. After the uninvited girl's mother called, OP should've had a long talk with DD about how children should be treating each other in school. Mean and exclusionary behavior should be punished. [/quote]

Really, so you never talk about any party or event at work unless everyone of your coworkers was invited too?

I find that odd. In my place of work people talk about parties they had / attended and no one gets their knows all out of joint about 'mean' people or being excluded. So John had a 40th and didn't invite me. I am happy for him that he had a great time, not going to get all whiny and taking it personally because I didn't get an invite. It isn't all about you. Always thinking about everything me a very me centric, how I feel point of view isn't healthy. Be happy for others, rather than spending all your time trying to figure out how you've been excluded and teach the same lessons and life skills to your kids.
