[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what?  It is a free country.  A parent can take away what they want as a punishment.  But if you back out of my child's 3 kid party for that reason, you and your family will not be invited to any events in our home again.  [b]So you do what's best for you, and then I'll do what's best for me[/b], and we'll go our ways.[/quote]

This.  I would make my choices that are best for my family.  That may mean that I elect to say no to a bday party that is too far of a drive for us or say no to a playdate when I don't particularly like the other kid's behavior, or punish my kid as I see fit.  You, as a result, are welcome to do what you think is right for your family.  Rather than spend a minute of your time thinking about it, your child wasn't bothered by it, so why not take a page from his book of life's lessons, and MOVE ON?[/quote]

I can't move on! I'm still not sleeping over this! Actually, discussing parenting issues on a parenting forum does not mean they are taking over your life. Have moved on, do not plan to deal with this family too much in the future anyway as they are not close friends, and still think it's rude to use other people's events as parenting leverage.
