[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was growing up our parents did not care who you liked or did not like, you invited everybody and you did not leave somebody out. You got over it and learned to be a gracious host.[/quote]

This is the reply of someone with endless resources. There is no possible way my family could have in life's every friend I knew at everything. That would costs thousands per event and we didn't have that money. I also didn't know of a single person who had that kind of wealth. No one invited everyone to everything. Everyone was selective and did activities that made sense with $ and number of seats in a car and size of house etc. [/quote]

or they have people over and don't spend thousands of $$$. Who is spending thousands of $$ for kids to hang out.  That is weird. [/quote]

What about y our kid wnats to go to a movie - do you invite every person your kid knows? Between sports, school, neighborhood, that could be 60 or 70 kids. Since we aren't just inviting friends but all kids so no one feels left out, how do you get them all there. Do you rent out the theater to be sure there are seats for everyone who came? Do you buy them all the same items t the concession stand to be sure no one who has less money feels left out?

Or do you invite a few close friend and accept the reality that there is likely a kid out there who is at home and would have liked to have gone to a movie with your kids.
