[quote=Anonymous]So your DD plays with 4 neighborhood friends but only invited 3/4? Do they all play together? If so, agree that what you did wasn't nice but it's also perfectly normal and understandable.

I would bet there's a lot of miscommunication going on. The other mom probably told someone her daughter was upset she wasn't invited. It could be because the other girls were talking about the party in front of her or because another mother asked her why her child didn't attend, etc. I don't think this other mom is spreading rumors about you excluding her daughter.

Your side of the story may also be getting lost in translation. Maybe the other mother misunderstood that it was a party including all the neighborhood friends and that it seemed strange to not include 1/4 neighborhood friends. She may not have understood that it was a really small party.

If it were me in your shoes I would be seeking to repair the relationship. I wouldn't care as much about the mom but I would be feeling awful that a child is upset. I would reach out and see if she might want to do a special playdate for another reason.
