[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had a similar situation (SN child insisting NT child invited her to a party). I really did not know what to do. I emailed the other mom, like, hey-Larla invited my dc to her birthday party and I was just checking to see if she was on the guest list-no big deal either way just let me know!

She never replied to my email :/.[/quote]

Can't believe you did that. If your kid was invited, you would have had an invitation.[/quote]

I totally disagree.  Reread what she typed to the mom in question - it was perfectly gracious.  I'd much rather make a mom i don't know feel slightly uncomfortable for maybe 5 seconds and get an answer one way or another than just let my child flounder and get hurt by something that can possibly be addressed.  It works both ways, too -- if this ever happens with my child talking to kids at school about her party, I absolutely would want the parents to call me and ask - and yep I would do whatever it takes to include their kids.

I'm also 100% in the "we invite everyone" camp.  Exclusionary behavior hurts others and sows the seeds for my child to be excluded later in life.  It will happen no matter what, and thats  something she will experience and grow from, but I'm not going to water and fertilize those seeds.  And besides, that's not how we conduct ourselves in our family.  [/quote]
