[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, would it kill you to just keep on inviting this kid? I don't think so.  It would be kind and generous. [/quote]

This is OP, and I've continued to invite over the years because it's kind, and hey, why not, right?  What's one more kid at laser tag or the bowling alley or whatever.  But this time, this child would not fit into our vehicle.  She could drive her own child, there and back, but would he feel awkward about being the only one in a different car?  My kid will want to ride with the best friends he invited.  Also, it's such a small group and they are in the same school and play the same sport together and that's a lot of their conversation.  Kids are not that great at being inclusive in their conversation, so I'd worry that this kid will feel like a third wheel and not know what the others are talking/laughing about. [b] This time, it doesn't seem like it would be kind and generous to invite him.[/b]

Thanks for the responses;  I will mention it.  Hopefully it's not a big deal to her.[/quote]
NP here, I agree completely with the bolded and agree you should definitely give her a heads up.[/quote]

Ridiculous rationalization. You know the right thing to do, but fortunately you have found a bunch of entitled millennials on DCUM to tell you that teaching your child to be selfish and mean is ok.[/quote]
It's clear you don't do well with people, but it's not because everyone around you is mean and entitled...[/quote]
