[quote=Anonymous]No 22:13, my child is not the issue.  The birthday child in this case is unkind and lies about my child and a few others in an effort to get them in trouble in school.  My child doesn't understand the manipulation and is upset at being lied about and the many instances of unkindness.  And before everyone piles on and says that maybe the kid isn't lying about mine, her classroom teacher and my child's classroom teacher have caught this child in several lies about my child.  Saying that my child took something when my child is in a different classroom and the teacher can see the item in question when this child opens their locker.  So, no, my kid doesn't like being lied about and therefore doesn't like this child AT ALL.  Not surprisingly, a mother who loves her child beyond all measure is angry, ok furious, at this family's decision to exclude 2 kids out of 15 -- one of them being mine.  I just don't get that.  I wouldn't get it even if my kid went to the party and a different child was left out.  We began discussing my child's birthday plans before we knew of the exclusion and my child asked to exclude this child.  I said no, there are only 15 of you.  We aren't leaving anyone out.  And a week later found out that they don't subscribe to the same inclusive philosophy.  So yup.  I have dreams of excluding this child.  And I understand and own what that says about me.  My anger is not so much directed at the child, but at the mother.  I want her to know that she is a tool.  It is because I understand that this plan could hurt a child's feelings that I won't act upon my impulse and will take the high road inviting this child when we do host our child's bday party.
