[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How ingrained is the 'Mean Mother' in your daily life? Do you live in the same neighborhood? On the same street? Do your kids go to school together? Are you part of the same social/religious community?

If you cut her out, would you still have to see her every day (or regularly?)

If you can do a clean break, I'd say go for it. But if you're going to have an epic Halloween party, and then see her at drop off on Friday, then it's going to take some thinking.[/quote]

We are not in the same school pyramid. We live about 15 minutes away from one another. Unlikely we will bump into one another unless it is at a mutual friend’s house. My kids also don’t have similar interests.[/quote]

Then go ahead and have your party and don’t invite her.

Your house, your party, your rules. Don't invite her. Maybe include other friends so her absence isn't quite so obvious? Your DD could invite a school friend, for example. Or neighbors..kind of "pad" the party so it's not just all the friend group families.

This is the way to do it. Invite a few extra families to each event. Especially for the Halloween party it’s a good idea to let your daughter invite her friends and their families. For Friendsgiving, invite a couple neighbors. You can easily stop inviting this mom to your house.[/quote]
