[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, totally fine!

BUT...I would let their parents know that other grown-ups will be there and then let them make the choice.

If you weren't inviting your adult friends, then it's a no-brainer, of course invite them. they would be glad to send their kids and probably glad not to come along..... But because other adults they don't know will be there they may decline, or not. [/quote]

This.  The other adults adds an additional factor that might influence their decision.[/quote]Exactly.  If you want to invite a kid to have dinner at your house, go for it.  But if you invite my kid into your house, I expect a modicum of supervision.  If I find out later that you were having an adult party at the house on the night that you had my child as a guest, I might think differently.  That just doesn't make sense to me.[/quote]

This. No problem if you invite just my 8 YO over for dinner with your family, but not sure if I want my child dropped off at a party with other adults I don't know. As some PPs stated, just mention that you're having friends over and your son wanted to invite his friend for company. The parents can decide if they're ok with this.

I'll add that it sounds like you really don't like this other mom, and this is turning into a statement. Maybe just invite a different friend and family of your son?[/quote]
