Other kids are saying shit stuff to my 6 year old. AIBU to feel angry?

[iceberger]

My daughter is 6. She's is awesome.
I'm a single mum & have raised her alone.
She came home from school upset today & later in tears. Her best friend 'D' is a boy who she has been close to for years. 'D' has been hanging around with another boy from her class. I recently saw this other boy in a park with his brother and friend being very unpleasant to a lad who was on his own. Bullying him I would say. 'Other boy' has a v well known celebrity dad and his family are well known and 'bowed down to' at the school.
My daughter told me she asked the other boy and 'D' if they were looking forward to her birthday party. She's v excited.
Other boy told her he didn't want to come and that his party will be much better.
'D' told her he was going to rip up the invitation.
We're sensitive souls but I feel so pissed off with them both (although can see that 'D' might be copying other boy. Not sure why I'm calling the other one other boy ? Anyway AIBU to wish we hadn't invited other boy?
It's anti-bullying week and it annoys me that 6 year olds can be this mean!!!!
Is this normal behaviour?
Hoping other boy isn't going to ruin the party!

I wouldn't even consider allowing 'the other boy' to the party anymore to be honest. Regardless of his families 'celeb' status, every child should know there is consequences to their words or actions.
As far as 'D' is concerned, I'd say yes he's copying the other child as they are at such an impressionable age.

kids are cruel. Hope your daughter has a great party.

Thanks Muddy
Not sure how to uninvite him but have got a few weeks to think about it.
Perhaps if I question 'sleb dad' or 'way too much time on her hands mum' as to whether he really wants to come?
My daughter has got another lovely friend she can invite in his place.....
🤨

6 is very young for them to really understand but it's horrible and still bullying,

Personally I would if you know the parents send a message saying your daughter has come home upset and ask if you could work together to nip it in the bud while they're still so young so it doesn't become an ongoing thing

Of course if you don't know them well enough to do that, I think I would ask the teacher to get involved

This sounds just like another recent thread. Have you posted about this before op?

That is really mean behaviour and I would probably tell them not to come if that’s the way they feel. D is at least as bad as other boy btw.

His behaviour I should say - I’m sure he isn’t a bad child.

Thanks all of you
No have not posted before.
My daughter is being much cooler about it than me!
They have been doing anti-bullying week stuff all week 🧐

Hi OP I wouldn't make a big deal of it. If other boy has rsvp d yes I'd contact them to say you understand that's not the case any more as he has said he doesn't want to go as it will be rubbish and you want to double check before taking him off the list

I disagree with a PP. At 6 years old, a child won't probably know the impact of bullying but they are certainly of an age where they know what's hurtful & mean.

I'd maybe drop the parent a message & just explain what's happened & as a PP has said maybe say to nip it in the bud before it does become a bigger issue.
