“This is a hard one because I have kids with disabilities that never get invited to things and it’s so devastatingly heartbreaking seeing them so hurt. My son is 7.5 and has never even been asked for a playdate.”
“My 15yo has never had a party. But the fact is your daughter comes first and if she will feel uncomfortable about inviting the child with special needs, then that seriously needs consideration.”
“I DO think you need to talk to your daughter though about inclusivity and acceptance, but she still shouldn’t be forced to invite someone she doesn’t want to.”
“I DON’T think inviting the whole class and excluding that one child was the right thing to do. That is a real a****** move for sure.”
“You could have invited just a handful of kids (the school rules are BS), the school really can’t tell you who you can and can’t invite to a party, that’s none of their business.”
“There are ways you could have sent invites without disrupting the teacher and class.”
“It’s not that Avery wasn’t invited. It’s that she’s the ONLY person who wasn’t invited. And that is not an okay thing to do to a person just so you can have your “special day.” If you need a “special day”, invite three close friends.”
“If you seriously think it’s more important that your daughter have every classmate she somewhat likes attend, than for a kid who will be disabled her whole life to feel like she’s a normal kid who fits in for once, then you’re a pretty s***** person.”
“One of the most important things I learned was that life doesn’t revolve around me, ever, even on my birthday. I question whether you did.”
