[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's wrong, OP, and anti-social. Don't let these DCUM posters who only invite "A" list kids to their kids' parties tell you any differently. It's sad when grown people seek to justify their exclusionary behavior and pass these values on to their kids. [b]I would ask the parents who excluded my kid if there's something about him or her that the other kids don't like.[/b] That, or I'd take a good hard look at who my kid thinks is his or her best friend.

I can't stand this sort of exclusionary behavior. It starts here and continues into adulthood. People are always seeking ways to make themselves seem better than others.[/quote]
Seriously?  You're going to ask parent if they don't like your kid?  That's a really bizarre thing to do, and it's going to be super-awkward for the parents you accost -- which I'm sure will make them very inclined to include your child next time.  If you're going to chuck rocks at other people's manners, you might want to step out of the glass house.  And what are you going to say if they say that their kid doesn't care for yours?  Lecture them on rudeness or realize that you shouldn't ask questions you don't want the answer to?

Parties get smaller as kids age and friendships form.  Parties are expensive, and a lot of people don't feel the need to shell out for the $500/pop parties or have an entire class (25-30 kids, at our school) invade their home.  It's not always exclusionary or meant to slight.[/quote]
