[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is incredibly rude and mean girl type behavior.

She can have a party and one girl sleeps over, no big deal.

Or she can have a party and all the girls sleep over. Wonderful.

But having a party where just over half the girls sleep over?  Rude and mean.[/quote]

It's not rude or mean.  It's highly unlikely that a teen is equally close to 11 friends.  Also, having 11 kids sleep over is a lot.  I don't view this as mean girl behavior.  Also, before you start saying that's likely because I was a mean girl or that my girls are likely mean girls, I wasn't, and my DD would likely be one of the excluded girls because she's shy and introverted.  Labeling everything mean girl type behavior is counterproductive.  I guess OP should just not inclythe extra five girls in any part of the evening because of people like you. [/quote]

Honestly, I do think that just inviting the 6 would be kinder, than inviting the other 5 and then rubbing it in their face that they have to go home halfway through.

I understand the logic of "you don't have to invite the whole class", but once someone is invited, they need to be treated equally with all the other guests.  If you allow your tween to say "Well, I like you but less than them, so you get less than them."  Where does it stop?  Do you invite your friends and serve some steak and some hamburger?  [/quote]
