[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are upset your 6yo son is not invited to an 8yo girl’s party?? It would be more upsetting if your 8yo same age same sex daughter was not invited.

I have an 8yo dd and we only invited girls and 1 boy. Every single kid was in the same grade.[/quote]

[b]I don’t think I’ve ever had a birthday party where being in the same grade was a criteria.[/b]  That’s odd.

If it’s true that all the kids who play in the neighborhood were invited but him, the mother is rude and insensitive and her child is following her footsteps by discussing the party in front of someone not invited.   And the birthday girl is old enough to be taught that.

Really? When I ask my kids who they want to invite to their party, and they list their 6 or 7 friends they are allowed to invite, they are ALWAYS same gender, same grade.  I then add on 2-3 other kids who I consider "must invites" who might be different gender or different grade, such as a close neighbor friend who is one grade younger, or the sibling of an invited friend who is a different gender, but who will play with my other child during the party and that makes my own life easier.

But my oldest is about to turn 11 and I've already decided I'm not going to push the "must invite" list anymore.  He's going to be in middle school next year.  It's time. [/quote]
