[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your daughter excluded the other girl from her party because she talked about poop and farts, and yet she then attended her birthday party?? Wasn't she worried about excessive poop and fart talk there, or is it ok to hang with someone who talks like that if it's someone else's party? Ay![/quote]

My daughter had five other people she rather would have at her party than someone who talks about poop and farts all the time, yes.

As for her reasoning about going to the other girl's party, who knows how a 7 yo's mind works. It was a different atmosphere, maybe she didn't think it would be such a big deal at Chuck E. Cheese or something. In her head, excessive potty talk would have been out of place at her own gathering.

Notice that most people aren't criticizing your daughter.  It is you who acted terribly here.  Your child is 7, not 17.  She should not have had sole decision-making power here.  You really played this one wrong, and it ended up hurting a child and teaching your child a terrible lesson.[/quote]

[b]I'm sorry you think a 7 yo is incapable of making her own social decisions. But I guess that's to be expected in this area. [/b]
Am I to understand you would insist your child invite another child she doesn't want to a party? Really?[/quote]

Some 7 year-olds may be.  Yours obviously is not.  It wasn't wrong to let her try to handle it herself, but it was wrong for you to let it continue as it did.  When it became clear that your child was not mature enough to make this decision, you should have stepped in and taken the power back from her.[/quote]
