[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with a follow up. I talked to my son after school and told him we couldn't just exclude the other child, but that I was going to ask him parents to stay so that the other kid couldn't make trouble at the party. My son got really upset and started sobbing that he'd rather not have a party than have this child there, so we agreed we're going to cut it down to a smaller group. We're having a tough time figuring out who's going to be in that smaller group without it being too exclusionary to that other kid, but we'll figure it out. I'm glad I gave him the choice, though, rather than simply moving ahead with the plan to invite everyone.[/quote]

I really feel for your son. Does he understand that you would not tolerate bullying by this kid in your presence? I'm the previous PP who mentioned inviting the whole first grade class to DD's bday. One of her best friends in class for K was initially a kid she hid from (bullying). The school addressed it pronto (it took awhile for her to tell me), his parents disciplined him immediately, and he apologized. They were inseparable a week later and the remainder of the year. Have you ever reached out to his parents? I bet if you invited and then spoke with them beforehand about the issues you all have been having, they wouldn't bother to come. Personally, I'd LOOOOVE for a bully to show up at one of DD's parties so that one of her older cousins could handle it pronto. That said, I can also understand why you wouldn't want to invite this kid either...but it seems like other kids will be excluded too, because of the bully.[/quote]
