[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never deliberately exclude a child from a party when the rest of the class, gender, etc is invited.  [b]If a child has disruptive behavioral issues, I would talk privately with the parents and ask that one of them stay for the duration of the party[/b].

I understand small parties but I don't understand adults excluding a young child- there's just no excuse. The aunt with the party/American Girl experience-- be assured that those parents were raised by wolves. Awful.

OP- I'm in the camp that suggests planning something fun- even if it's a movie at home with a gentle explanation.[/quote]

Sometimes that's not enough. The parent may come but may be so relieved to finally think their kid is part of the group they don't intervene. Or they're so used to their kid's awful behavior that they let things go that are unacceptable. We tried to include a horridly behaved boy once, because my DD has a sweet heart and said nobody had ever invited him to a party and she wanted to. He threw temper tantrums, he punched his fist through the cake, he screamed through the Happy Birthday song, he opened two presents before DH started taking them all away, and his mother did NOTHING. "He's just excited." No, he was making my daughter regret being kind and ruining her party. Oh, and then he also refused to leave our house. And his mom just kept drinking her coffee and not getting up - they were the last to leave. We never invited him again and I don't regret that decision. [/quote]

What a POS you are.   That is a child of God regardless of the mother's behavior and you treat others as you yourself would be treated.

She did invite the child. And based on HIS behavior, she won't invite him again. ITA with her. It's the right thing to invite a child once, but once they've behaved like that they don't get another invitation until the behavior problems are resolved.[/quote]
