[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is this any different than if your kid gets sick and can’t go? [/quote]

Illness is out of everyone’s control.  A punishment is very much within the control of the parent, and it is devaluing the other family’s time and the other child’s feelings and expectations.[/quote]

So other people are more important than your kid. Gotcha .[/quote]

NP. Not more important, but of course I teach my kids to put others first. You know, the Golden Rule, basic etiquette, etc?  [/quote]

Lol. yeah right! your kid just walks all over you and all you care about  is networking[/quote]

It’s really sad that people are talking about empathy, the feelings of others, etiquette, and the Golden Rule, and you are equating that to….. networking.[/quote]

You don't care about feelings  and the golden rule your every response in this thread has been rude and condescending. and people who really care about feelings and the golden rule would not be talking about cutting people off forever for a missed birthday party.[/quote]

I said I would not invite a child again if I learned their parent considered this an appropriate way of handling their child’s behavior. I would absolutely not discourage my child from being friends with them at school or say anything rude about the child but I would not put my child in the position of being used to punish a friend again in the future. I was primarily thinking about playdates (that’s the only time I’ve had this happen, once in 10 years of having multiple children over for playdates and parties). If my child desperately wanted to invite such a friend to a large party we would have to have a conversation about it. [/quote]
