[quote=Anonymous][quote]Count me among the posters who think you handled this terribly.  You say, "we allowed her to handle it herself" - but you knew what she was going to do, and despite your apparent prissy attitude, it's pretty mean to not invite someone to your party when she invites you to her own [b]ON THE SAME DAY[/b].  You allow kids to make their own decisions when they are the ones who can be affected by bad decisions - that's how they learn.  The only think your daughter learned is that you're OK with her being mean and making others feel bad.  Parenting fail.

By the way, my 7 yo girly girl thinks poop and fart jokes, talk, etc. are hilarious.  I don't agree, and I'm kinda pissed that my husband taught her the "pull my finger" joke, but sheesh - lighten up, Francis.  [/quote]

They weren't on the same day. I didn't say they were on the same day. They were on the same weekend.

I'm glad your daughter thinks this talk is hilarious, but does she talk about in incessantly?[/quote]

Really?  That's what you took from the prior post - day v. weekend?  Good grief.  OK, change it to this:

Is that better?  And another pp made a great point - if your daughter finds the other child so distasteful, why did she attend her party?  You had a great chance to teach your daughter some valuable messages here, but not only did you fail to do that, but you reinforced exactly the wrong messages.  [/quote]
