[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on page 4 and don't feel like reading the rest- but I am shocked that no one has suggested calling the mom and having a talk about it.  Wouldn't you want to know why your daughter was/or will be the only one not invited?  OP says the mom is nice.  I would start there.[/quote]

Seriously? How would this go?

OP: Hi Stephanie, it’s Lindsay. I just wanted to let you know that Angelica isn’t invited to Larla’s birthday party because she’s mean.

Lindsay: ??????[/quote]

Most of us have more tact then this.  Sounds like you could benefit from interpersonal communications skills if this is how you approach it.[/quote]

dp Be  honest.  There is no good way to receive this and you wouldn't believe the mom anyway.  After all we all believe our children..I remember my a mom came over to me and told me how misbehaved my dd was at her party.  She was young and didn't like the food so she told the mom.  It was very awkward because what could I do after the party?  It just made me feel awful and I remember the conversation today ( and my kid is an adult)[/quote]

I'm a poster who did tell the parents why their daughter wouldn't be invited to a party. The bullying in our case was severe and I had been in contact with the parents about it. They did believe what I said because it either agreed with things they had heard their daughter say or there had been witnesses so there really wasn't any way for them to deny it. I told them the truth - I wasn't trying to hurt their daughter and the reason I was telling them about it a month out was so that they could make other plans for that day or handle it however they wanted, but the girl would not be invited into our home. (For what it's worth, I had previously invited her to our house in second and third grade, even after she had hit our daughter because she had apologized and asked if she could come play/come to a party).
