[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 w[u]hen the truth is probably that their kids don't like yours. [/u]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]

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

lol, this is not sociopathic! This is normal. Are you really inviting 20 + kids over to your house all the time?![/quote]

It’s more the tone of the post and the lack of caring or concern about anyone else but herself which makes her sound like a social path. There’s also a meanness to her posts which further support the idea of a social path.[/quote]

As adults, we like some people and don't like others.  Of those that I like, I self-select which ones I will spend extra time socializing with (lunches, coffee, walks, etc.).  It doesn't make me mean but I don't have time to seek out people I don't connect with as much.  There was nothing wrong with the tone of the post.  You just don't like the message (underlined.)  It's harsh but so be it.  It doesn't mean she isn't caring, but instead is trying to help others accept what they don't want to accept.[/quote]
