DD1 will be 5 next month and I am currently arranging a party for her. I have told her she can invite 10 - 12 friends. She has been v clear about who she wants from among her relatives, home and school friends, which is fine except for one thing. There are 14 children in her class at school, 7 girls, 7 boys. She doesn't want to invite any of the boys (fine - she's going through that stage) and wants to invite all of the girls except for one. She is adamant about this. She really doesn't like that girl (hardly surprising as the girl scratches and pinches DD1 regularly - horrid child, one of the scratches was really very nasty), but I am worried about the implications of leaving out just one girl. Of course she won't be the only child in the class not to be invited as none of the 7 boys will be coming. What should I do? I'm inclined to go with what DD1 wants, but still feeling bad about that girl being left out even if she is mean (she's only 4 after all). What do you think?
