[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These boards often seem to bring out "projection" tendencies in people, who extrapolate situations and ascribe behaviors to the OP that have no relevance to their posts or questions. Insults also often get hurled. It's a fascinating psychological phenomenon.

Who on earth would invite someone else to another person's child's birthday party?? It's beyond rude.[/quote]

But it wasn't really a birthday party. Didn't cost the birthday child's mother any money. It's literally driving by (on public roads). I can't imagine the birthday child would be ticked off by an additional child waving from the car and wishing them a happy birthday.[/quote]

Of course not. But do you see the strange social dynamics that the "outsider" mom is foisting upon one person? She's saying, every time an event happens, I appoint you to be the messenger and to invite me. It puts the OP in a very odd position. The onus was on the birthday child's parent to be more inclusive, if she so chose. But honestly, you cannot invite everyone to everything. The mom probably invited the kids in her child's circle...[/quote]
