[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woah, I guess Monday morning is a good time to get a ton of responses in a very short time.

Thanks to all the helpful replies, I came on here with a genuine concern seeking people's opinions, and now I have a clearer sense of what's acceptable.

To everyone else who responded with totally uncalled for aggression, describing my daughter as 'rude' and 'mean' -- even though she's trying her best to compromise with me and with her wider group of friends -- try being a bit kinder in your assumptions next time. Most children really are neither rude or mean, [b[u]]they're still learning how society works[/u][/b].[/quote]

Well, apparently you, the parent, are still learning how society works too.  That is why we are shocked.  [/quote]

So those types of responses aren’t mean, rude and cruel?! You are actually *bullying* a mom who came to an anonymous board to ask for advice? [/quote]

No they have not been mean, cruel or bullying.

On one hand those who are defending doing this say we are raising "snowflakes" and not everyone can get a medal and yet you come on and tell us that we are bullying this mom when she asked us our opinion.  Surely, you can find the irony in this right?  We are telling you it is rude.  No one wants to be on the B list.  I would rather not have my kid at your party than be insulted.  The few examples that are ok are where the party is at another venue and one or two sleep over but, no one knows.  It isn't great but, it is better than hiding the sleeping bags and telling everyone to lie.

Just have your dd invite her 6 friends for a birthday sleepover.  if you think you are doing any B list kids a favor..trust me you are not.[/quote]
