I'm pretty sure the people doing the "mean girl" labeling will be the parents who can't handle the fact that their kids weren't invited to everything, not the girls who are probably more emotionally well adjusted than their parents.  Based on the responses on this thread, I'm sure there will be a lot of mean girl labeling when OP's daughter has the party/sleepover and decides to completely exclude the extra five girls she wanted to invite to the party.  I'm constantly astounded by the number parents who don't understand the importance of teaching their kids resilience and that it's ok not to be included in everything.  You're basically saying that an appropriate response to not being invited to the sleepover segment would be to no longer be friends with OP's daughter.  How emotionally discfunctional is that?  That's basically saying, if I can't be your best friend, I don't want to be your friend.  [/quote]
