[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s fine to leave people out. It’s not fine to leave only a few people out. I don’t know what hard about this. [/quote]

So last year, I made her invite the girl who was mean to her, not friends who told her she was not invited to her party because they aren’t friends. I still made her invite her and they couldn’t come. I thought it was cruel to leave one person out even if the girl is mean to DD.

The year before we included the boys who are disruptive and DD didn’t want. We invited the whole class.

I don’t think anyone actually answered my question on when to stop inviting everyone. DD is in third grade.

I made my son invite everyone until sixth grade. [/quote]

You can stop inviting everyone at any time. You can have three kids for a 6th birthday! What you can’t do, at any age, is invite everyone but one or two kids, even if those kids are jerks. If there are one or two kids in a group you want to exclude, for whatever reason, you need to cut your guest list until you’re inviting half or less of the group. This includes “the class” or “the girls in the class” or “the girlscout troop” or “the travel team” or anything. You can invite 45% of the girls in the class and 40% of the travel team and that one friend from Sunday school! You can’t invite all the girls in the class but two. [/quote]
