Leaving out dds bully

[dozydoo]

It's dds (6) 7th birthday next month,
we've had her party booked for a while, she's in a class of 20, and we can only invite 25 kids to the party, my issue is that there's a child in her class who is awful to her.

I've tried to speak to her dm about how she is with my dd, but she's very dismissive and doesn't see that her dd does anything wrong, her dd has also been horrible to quite a few other children in class. The teachers are involved and she has been told she is to stay away from all three of my children at that school, and is on report card for her behaviour, including being rude and disrespectful and lashing out at children and teachers. (There is definitely no sen)

Now my predicament is that dd is adamant she doesn't want said child there, if I'm honest, I really don't want her there either, but can I really be the mum who leaves out one child?

Also, dd only has a very few friends outside of school, we have no family close by so no cousins etc to invite, which is why it's mostly her class. She does do a sport outside of school, and we have invited her favourite friends from that too, we also live in a small rural village, so only very few children nearby to be friends with, and they are in dds class.

That's really contradictory. Your first sentence and a half suggests you don't care about the bully, but the second part of the second sentence clearly states that you do.

Oh, go away. 🤦‍♀️

Meant for @StuartBroadshairband
sorry, OP

Nope, no invite and I would revel in telling the "mother" why if she was to ask and I'd tell her loud enough for others to hear!

Thank you, @TrashyPanda - it means a lot.

OP, agree with your decision, hope your DD and guests have a lovely time.
