[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of those "you made your choice, accept the consequences" situations.  OP chose to have an extremely fancy party and limit invitations in a way that pretty much guaranteed that the 4th neighbor girl would feel left out. That was OP's choice and arguably not unreasonable.  But OP has to live with the ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE consequences of the girl feeling left out and the mother talking about it.

You don't get to both throw exclusive parties, and not have people hurt and upset when they don't get invited to your exclusive parties.

Agree with other PPs that the person you really hurt was your DD. You should have considered the social dynamics and allowed her to invite neighbor #4.  [/quote]

You people are nuts.  From what OP wrote it seems her daughter plays with this girl, but is not close with her.  If she had added another girl, what makes you think her daughter would have chosen girl #4 and not another mate from school?  I have a 15 and a 12 year old and we throw small parties for their birthdays every year.  Only a few (usually 8-10) are invited.  It gets more and more exclusive as kids grow and make closer friendships.  It is part of growing up and a lesson to learn, you can't be part of everything.[/quote]
