[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How upset will your friend be if her kid isn’t invited? And is it worth that?[/quote]

I think my friend’s feelings will definitely be hurt but I don’t think she will be mad at me. I did not want to make it about special needs but the child has mild special needs. I think that is the main reason why our kids were never close. I am not sure how much this has to do with the special needs or cool factor or looks.

I want my child to be kind and inclusive. My child does hang out with the popular kids at school and some of those kids are definitely not kind.[/quote]

And bit by bit, this is how the SN kids get left behind.

OP, be true to your friend. If it's a huge venue, kid+mom might have a nice time.     The birthday invites will slow to a trickle.    IMO, this will alter your friendship if you pass for no really good reason, other than the exclusionary crowd telling you to do so.  [/quote]

It would have helped if the OP hadn’t buried this information about her friend’s child having SN.  Frankly, it’s fine to make it at least somewhat about SN because this PP is right, they do get left behind - unfairly, painfully so.  Model inclusivity for your kid and next time, OP, state the relevant issues in your FIRST post, not five pages in.[/quote]
