My DD’s classmate has a birthday party today and seems like most of the class is invited plus kids from the other class are invited too (2 form entry primary school). I only found out as a mum from other class said yesterday “see u tomorrow” I asked what she meant and she said it’s X’s party. I wouldn’t usually dwell on it but the venue happens to be right on our street! The birthday mum knows this as been to a party at our home last year So have lots of other parents. I feel sad for DD as she might see people coming or going and will see the birthday decorations and realise it’s her birthday. I have no idea what time it is either but planning to take DD out for most of the day.

Unfortunately this will happen. I don’t think it’s horrible, no more horrible to force a child to invite someone to their birthday they don’t want there. It is upsetting for you and your daughter, I think anyone would be upset. I would take your daughter out for a fun day instead.

This Is awful, yes I know they can invite who they want etc etc but a classmate and neighbour really is unkind.

I personally would never do this. In the past when we having parties at home I make sure we send cake for little neighbours and even invite them along if she appropriate.
