[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really? Have none of you PPs ever decided whether to go to an event that doesn't really interest you that much based on whether or not other friends of yours are going? Or privately told your spouse or friends not involved in the event that something you'd rather not go to sounds boring? I certainly have. People get to choose what invitations to accept. OP's DD would be mean if she said something rude to the classmate about the party[b], but I don't get why everyone is calling her a mean girl for telling her mother she doesn't want to go to a party that doesn't sound interesting where she isn't friends with many of the attendees[/b].[/quote]

Because that is not what OPs daughter said.

OPs daughter said she and her posse have decided they do not want to go to the new girl's party because they collectively decided the party "looks lame."

We are atliing about eight year olds here. This is sixth grade behavior.[/quote]

[b]Yeah, and "lame" is 8 year old speak for anything vaguely undesirable,[/b] and in this instance it probably most nearly meant "boring" in more adult words. Most children do not express their thoughts in as accurate, nuanced, or careful way as most adults. Still not seeing the big deal, unless she said it to the birthday child.[/quote]

"Lame" is not a word that third graders tend to use.[/quote]
