[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You are entirely missing the point. Nobody is suggesting that you engineer anything. The issue we are discussing at this juncture is whether you should tell your kid he or she should not accept the invite to the alleged pity party because, according to you, it is "entitled, petty, and desperate." If my kid is invited somewhere, what I tell him is that he has been invited and does he want to go. There is absolutely no need for me to express an opinion on whether he should accept an invite absent some health and safety issue, or ascribe a judgment to the social implications of an invite.

Normally I would agree. In this case I find the basis of the party problematic and use my judgment as parent to decline the invite. [/quote]

Ok. I trust my child to make that judgment himself, or to learn by trial and error.  It's a difference in approach.  [/quote]

Well, duh. This whole thread proves there's two ways to approach this that are very opposite. Some of us advocate for one way, and the others advocate a completely different way. [/quote]
