[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is incredibly rude and mean girl type behavior.

She can have a party and one girl sleeps over, no big deal.

Or she can have a party and all the girls sleep over. Wonderful.

But having a party where just over half the girls sleep over?  Rude and mean.[/quote]

It's not rude or mean.  It's highly unlikely that a teen is equally close to 11 friends.  Also, having 11 kids sleep over is a lot.  I don't view this as mean girl behavior.  Also, before you start saying that's likely because I was a mean girl or that my girls are likely mean girls, I wasn't, and [b]my DD would likely be one of the excluded girls because she's shy and introverted[/b].  Labeling everything mean girl type behavior is counterproductive.  I guess OP should just not inclythe extra five girls in any part of the evening because of people like you. [/quote]

Ok so picture this - picking up your shy, introverted DD and seeing several of the other girls giggling and laughing and having a good time and barely saying good bye to her before they run off to have fun and your DD slinking to the car and getting in and telling you everything was "fine".  As a mom, would that really, truly not make you feel really bad for your DD? I think it would make even a stranger feel bad for her.  [/quote]
