HOW to people justify not inviting a little child?

[scarybluealien]

i just dont understand parties where some kids from the class are excludded.
how awful to know that some kid you are playing with is having a party, aand inviting some kids from the class, but not you? how cruel.

ok, if its a girls only parety, or a boys only i can understand. but otherwise? its just unnacceptable.

thing is - no-one actually agrees with your point!

Can you answer my question please, oh bonkers one ?

BTW - Why is ok if it is a 'boys only party' or a 'girls only party' ? Why is ok for children to discriminate on the grounds of gender but it offends you that they would only want to invite children that they actually play with ?!

Thank you kindly

The best soft play place for parties here limits you to 25 guests. Unless you pay for TWO parties, you can't invite the whole class. Or you have to hire the whole place exclusively. Which costs more than one party for up to 25 children

DD's last party

Invited 24 children as that was the number limit for the soft play place I had hired. Some friends from out of school so about 18 or 19 I think from her class.

No one seemed offended as I invited all the childten she mentioned a lot during chats about school. I also insisted that she invite anyone who had invited her to their party iyswim

oh, sorry, this has got me riled up a bit.

i have one child who gets invited to almost all the parties going, and one who hasnt had a single invite.

theres more to life than parties.

20 was the max at the venue for DD's birthday party

You're not actually serious are you, scarybluealien??

and i am at being told i am not bringing my son up properly

Oh and whilst we are at it, we should invite the siblings of the schoolfriends lest they feel left out.

Is your real name Mad John Mad McMad of Madland?

Youre a corker. How do you work out we are illuminating your point beautifully? Have you been on the Thunderbird a little too early?

yes and their parents too and their grandparents

PS Soupdragon - have you ever sworn before?? i imagine you you to be so very genteel!

ROFL

but a bit angry still!

ndp, im sorry i didnt actually read your message.

yes, i have been itching for a fight. it was either fight with you lot, or the kids.

i no longer wish to continue with this, as i have actually lost my point myself in aall my aaaanger/annoyance. people do what they want to do. sometimes when we read posts from other people, we think, of fgs.. well, i just acted on the impulse.

please, all of you, go back to your own lives, aaand deal with your kids as you see fit. sometime in the future i will return to this subject and hopefully aargue my point in a better way. for now, feel good that you have allowed me to let off some steam
ce laa vie

umm i would PERSONALLY want to invite all of dd 1's reception class to her party. i have a bit of a thing about not leaving people out too, but you cant impose this view on others!

i dont even know if WE can manage to do this- we dont have room for 30 at home, and the result might be rather more chaotic than i'd like if we had 30 plus in a church hall and i'd rather stick pins in my eyes than do soft play.

it's a tricky one for me, tbh, and i can accept the general philosophy of what you're saying, scarey- but you cant shout people down just because they may want smaller parties ( for a whole variety of reasons.)

You're thinking of my mother, lulumama. She has never sworn in her entire life. Not even a "damn".

OK, own up, who was it??

well thanks a lot for telling me i don't bring up my kids properly because you are in a paddy!!!!

i won't be revisiting this when you restart this thread!

Lol. So you have no intelligible answer to my valid question then, sba ?

Well done for bowing out so gracefully

sorry sacery, just read that you wanted to leave this thred alone, now.

I'll be expecting an invitation to any parties you throw in the future, SBA. After all, we have never spoken before (to my knowledge) and have nothing in common (I'm not a mentalist) so I'm clearly the perfect guest.

Don't worry though, I'll turn you down.

soupdragon - are you a bit feisty then? well, colour me shocked!
