[quote=Anonymous]Many of you calling OP names are just beyond bizarre.

OP's child gets to decide who to invite to her party (with guidance from OP about budget).  She's inviting 4-5 girls.  She is under NO obligation to invite everyone she knows just b/c she's having some.  Teach your kids to be o.k. knowing that they have some closer friends and some less-best friends.  Yes, OP's daughter and the invitees should be taught to keep quiet about the dinner invitation around other girls.  But, even if they make a mistake and speak about the party around girls who weren't invited, the non-invited girl's mom should have handled it by teaching her daughter to be o.k. with not always being invited.  It doesn't mean that she's not important/liked.  The mom who called is teaching her daughter that mommy fixes things and that daughter cannot handle being out of any group activity.

OP, I sincerely think you did the right thing and I am just aghast at the mean name-calling that has transpired on this board (although it is pretty typical of DCUM).  I would have done it just as you did.  Don't be pushed around by pushy people.  That other mom was SO out of line to call you and ask that you invite her child.  It's really ballsy to tell other people how they should celebrate their daughter's birthday! [/quote]
