[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ she invited ME, too and she is a family friend. So, she would like me to find a sitter or ask my husband to watch the (upset) child while I take the older daughter. We have all spent hours together and the younger child is 12 months younger. I have a hard time believing the daughter is behind it. It is so bizarre.

Now my older daughter doesn't really want to go because she feels like it is exclusive and rude. [/quote]

I am the OP. I have 2 boys close in age. Our guest list includes siblings who are twins and siblings who are the same age as my younger child. We often hang out with all our children for outings. This party is costing me per child, is messy and we are keeping the guest list small. I don't want to host a ton of kids. Everyone who is on the guest list is in birthday child's grade. I am asking no twin siblings, one year younger, two year younger, one year older and two year older siblings not attend.

My younger child used to throw tantrums and get upset if he could not tag along to his older brother's parties and play dates. Once he started kindergarten, it was pretty easy to arrange a play date for him at the same time. Or he does something fun with daddy. We have had many play dates with others where younger child whines to stay and parent takes the sibling away. [/quote]
