[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How upset will your friend be if her kid isn’t invited? And is it worth that?[/quote]

I think my friend’s feelings will definitely be hurt but I don’t think she will be mad at me. I did not want to make it about special needs but the child has mild special needs. I think that is the main reason why our kids were never close. I am not sure how much this has to do with the special needs or cool factor or looks.

I want my child to be kind and inclusive. My child does hang out with the popular kids at school and some of those kids are definitely not kind.[/quote]

It’s an easy explanation.  If she asks, tell her your daughter is 10 and now making her own guest list list with her friends.  You are no longer having family parties for her birthday.

Don’t invite the family friend.  It will be worse if she comes and has no one to hang out with.  10 is an age where they will not hang out with a random kid at a public venue that no one knows.  [/quote]
