[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why this gets rehashed. Your DS wants to invite 2/3 of the boys- he wants to leave out a tight knit group of three, and two others who don't seem to have good social skills. 
Would you have a party and invite 10 of 15 women in your office? Would you make it a point to leave out the two women with poor social skills and the three who are closer friends. Does it seem kind? Does it seem like it fosters a good group dynamic. We told my son from a young age that he may not set up a guest list with school friends to appear as "liked/not liked." There has to be an obvious logic (all boys, 50% or less, everyone) that would not lead someone to conclude that they are disliked. [/quote]
The whole point of a party is to invite people you actually like. For a 13 year old there is not all of this complicated networking crap that you adults are trying to project onto your children's social interactions. It just doesn't exist. A lot of it exists only in your head even as an adult. [/quote]
