[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]honestly the party does sound super LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

social suicide for the kid, what are the parents thinking?[/quote]

You sound like a teenager.  Like that Alicia Silverstone character in "Clueless" or something.

"Social suicide"?  The kids are eight years old.   :roll: [/quote]

The character in Clueless was in high school, much kinder, and learned the difference between the superficial and the genuine, which sadly this PP as an adult hasn't learned.

Personally the party sounds like fun to me.  I don't think your DD is a Queen Bee, OP, I think she's a worker bee.  But still this kind of attitude is unfortunate as such a young age.  Plus, girl friendships turn on a dime.  She could be on the outs in a heartbeat.

I think she should go with a gracious attitude.  Kids often poo-poo things social, but love them when they're in the moment.  Yeah, if she'll be a stinker, then keep her home.  But OP you sound like a thoughtful person, I don't think you've raised a stinker.[/quote]
