[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would honor DC’s wishes.

I am an inclusive person by nature and recently made my DD invite a classmate to her party. DD did not want to but I wanted to reach inclusion and be welcoming. The child was difficult and I regretted my decision.

May be a different situation here, but if your child is, say, 8 or older, they should be able to decide who is at their party. [/quote]

I did the same PP. My DD did not want to invite a girl in her class and I just thought she was being exclusionary and turning into a mean girl. I invited the other girl who turned out to be a nightmare. She was mean and demeaning to my DD and told me after the party the cake seemed “cheap.” She said this as a 9 year old!! I was shocked by her behavior but my DD deals with it every day at school.

I learned my lesson![/quote]

There is a huge difference between a kid random kid at school and a long-time family friend, with whom the parents are close as well.  [/quote]
