[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What bothers me about it is when they blame the other parents for being "mean girls" and social climbers and so on when the truth is probably that their kids don't like yours. Simple. What am I am I supposed to do about that as the other parent?

And no I'm not going to invite 20+ kids to my kids' bday parties now that we're out of the class party stage. We take our kids out to do fun and expensive things on their bdays like going to an amusement park or a ropes course or something. I'm not going to pay for 20 + kids to do that nor could my husband and I appropriately chaperone that many kids.

when it comes to kids just hanging out on the weekend, I'm not going to invite over 10 kids to our house either. To be frank, I don't want that many people over here! I don't really want the few that he's allowed to invite, let alone 10 more.

Other parents' expectations about this are so crazy and entitled in my opinion. Look if you want to have 20 + kids over at your house, god bless. But I'm not doing it and I don't think I should have to either just so your kid doesn't feel left out. Learn to deal.[/quote]

[b]You sound like a sociopath seriously get some help. No sane person thinks like this. I am sure your kid is similar. [/quote]

Um, every sane person thinks like this. This is the most level-headed, non-neurotic or vitriolic post in this whole thread. [/quote]

This exactly.  (And the bolded responder is crazy.  The only thing I can think of is that she hosts birthday parties at home for the very young and invites all, siblings included.  That's not the way it is for older kids.  Example:  if we wanted to take a group of kids out to dinner, we couldn't even fit everyone in our car.  The kids couldn't fit in one table, which is what they want.[/quote]
