[quote=Anonymous]Okay, yes, you may be hurting the bully's feelings by not inviting him and possibly inviting everyone else.  But, think about it, how badly is the bully hurting your child's feelings?  Doesn't sound like the bully/bully's parents care that much. The bully, though he/she may be young, has brought this upon him/herself.

It doesn't seem fair that your child is the one who always gets the bad consequences because of the bully's bad choices...it's your child that gets bullied in school and it's your child that doesn't get the party he/she wants, and your child whose friendship opportunities that suffer because he/she has to trim down the invite list to ensure the bully's feelings don't get hurt.  And it's your child that finds out he/she can't be inclusive to all the kids who do treat him/her nicely because it might hurt the bully's feelings.

Really, we have always invited everyone in the grade and now every boy in the grade to our parties, but after reading this, I don't think I would feel bad inviting everyone but the bully who torments my kid every day.  My kids have never been bullied but it makes me mad to think about what your child has to deal with at school.  He/she should be enjoying school, learning new things, exploring, making new friends.  First grade should be a fun, exciting time and it is awful that this bully is making him afraid every day.  If the bully's parents aren't actively trying to help the situation, I wouldn't care one whit about their feelings either.[/quote]
