Birthday Invite Question
Would you not invite all of the girls in DD's class just to avoid having one particular child attend?
If we do this then #1 she can't take the invites to school and #2 we run the risk of not inviting only 3-4 girls in the class which will be talked about and feeling will get hurt, etc.
This little girl who we don't want to come we actually requested not be in the same class as DD and she is in it anyway. We had a very bad experience having her over for a few nights/days over the summer and do not want her at our house again.
WDYT?

Re: Birthday Invite Question
I'm assuming the school/class has a policy that you have to include everyone if you distribute invites at school.
Can you mail the invitations to the girls your DD wants to invite? If you don't want to invite a certain girl because you don't want her in your home, I wouldn't invite her. Don't take the chance that she'll decline the invite.
She did not request to not be in the same class, we did.
It is just her Dad, and I do not think he feels the same way. I told him our concerns from her staying and got no response about them - it's a long story.
Bottom line is I think she would come so the problem is either to deal with her being there or DD having to deal with some people in the class being upset for not being invited.

Oh okay, got it now. Yeah, I would mail the invites if you could.
That's a tough one girlie.
inviting all but 3, will be quite the gossip. I've seen this birthday business blow up into the month's gossip topic amongst the parents and the children. It can get ugly.
In elementary, I would just invite everyone.
The policy of the school is you have to either invite the entire class, or all of one gender if you want to bring the invitations to school. If you pick and choose people then you have to mail them.
I think we're going to invite all of the girls in the class and take the chance that the little girl comes. I told DH that if she gets out of hand we'll just call her Dad and tell him it's not working out and he has to come get her.

I feel for her, I think it's a terribly sad situation, but I also don't believe it's an excuse to let your child act completely out of control. And if they are out of control, at least give me the feeling that you're going to do something about it. I understand my kid is not perfect but if she ever acted like that at someone's house I would be SO embarrased and SO apologetic and would let them know I would handle it.

Poor thing - it sounds like she is not getting attention at home, so this is the only way she knows how to go about it. Maybe if she is around all of her classmates, she will feel the peer pressure to act right like everyone else. I hope all goes well!
That's not cool. I would be mortified if Avery was acting out like that and I'd try to get to the bottom of it - especially if someone else pointed it out.
I hope Abbie has a great party regardless of who comes.
