[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s one kid, regardless of gender. It sounds like you don’t want to pay for her tbh. My son had an all-boys party and two boys brought their sisters (whom we paid for). Think of it as a kindness to the mom.[/quote]

Of course She doesn’t want to pay for the girl - she is not a guest that her son wants at *his* birthday party.

I am one of the kindest, “more the merrier” people when it fits, but really - “a kindness to the other mother”? What about a kindness to her son, who wants an all boy party with his peers on his birthday?  Like to hear it or not, a three year younger sister changes the whole dynamic. It’s all a kindness to her son to set a boundary that allows him to experience his birthday the way he would like. This isn’t a random playground play date. [/quote]

But can’t you see how the son’s misogyny and male sexism are behind excluding this child based solely on her gender?!? [/quote]

Good grief. The son doesn’t want the girl there because she is 3 years younger, not his friend, and not invited. It sounds like his current closest friends happen to be boys. No where does it say he has anything against girls in general. Elementary kids wanting their friends at their party for their desired activity is not new. Tons of girls want American Girl parties or other traditionally female parties and they don’t want a sibling’s younger brother there either. [/quote]
