[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would want to have her go as well simply to be friendly.  As long as she can choke down her "lame" attitude long enough to be nice to someone.  If not then she should stay home.

Have her think about it for a minute.  What if she was in this girl's position?

This is a good chance for her to do some thinking about basic kindness.  She's in third grade... is she really already to cool to be nice to someone?[/quote]

I agree with this and the last PP, too.

Sometimes we do things to be kind. Your daughter's group is cutting this girl out.

I would insist my daughter go.

None of you attend church, school, family, or friend events just because you want to be kind and support the person/institution throwing the party?[/quote]

If you want to be at an event for any reason, that's a good reason to go, and it's different than forcing an unwilling child to go to a party for someone she doesn't really socialize with or know very well doing an activity she would rather not be doing. I would worry that it'd be obvious she didn't want to be there and the birthday child would know.[/quote]
