[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The second your exclude her and ONLY her, your daughter has become just as mean as she is. Do with that info what you will. [/quote]

It is not mean to protect yourself from a bully. No one is saying these girls will come to school Monday with matching shirts or bracelets to flaunt it.

Imagine there is a group of women in your neighborhood who get together regularly and one woman routinely insults other women’s home decor, asks about their weight, points out when people’s hair is overdue for a color appointment, sneers at the food served, etc. When it is your turn to host, do you invite her? I would not. [/quote]

I would because guess what, they WON’T COME! They don’t want to go to the party of the girl they don’t like but when you invite her and refuse to stoop to her mean level, you are being aligned with your values. She’s never showing up. You invite her anyway because then you are always the bigger person, the blameless one. Ask me how I know. [/quote]

Not true. The mean girl shows up bc really what she wants is to be included and she’s clearly insecure. But it’s not every other 11 year olds job to play therapist to this girl.

I’m not sure if it’s “bullying” but I don’t think there’s a single situation when you’re having a private party and any person should feel like they HAVE to invite someone. It’s good for kids to learn that.[/quote]
