She Confronted A Mom Who Excluded Her Daughter From A Birthday Party, And Then She Got Accused Of Ruining The Party

When you were a kid, did you ever not get invited to someone’s birthday party or other event with people in your class?
Exclusion really hurts, and it can hurt even worse when you’re a kid.
One woman confronted a mom from her kid’s school after her daughter wasn’t invited to a birthday party and was accused of ruining it.
She has a nine-year-old daughter that goes to a very small school. There are only 11 girls in her grade. Therefore, the girls in her daughter’s class are close-knit.
A year ago, the girls in her daughter’s grade started a book club and would meet twice a month in each other’s homes.
Her daughter was in the book club full-time last summer but had to stop attending as many meetings because she has a busy schedule as a competitive dancer. However, her daughter will attend book club at least once a month when she can.
Three weeks ago, a friend of her daughter’s from school named Sarah was at their house. Out of the blue, Sarah asked her daughter if she was excited to attend a birthday party for Addy, another one of the girls in their class.
It was supposed to be a pool party with an outdoor movie later in the evening. But unfortunately, her daughter hadn’t received an invite.
When Sarah’s mom came to pick her up, she told her the birthday invites were handed out at the last book club meeting, so Addy’s mom may have just forgotten to hand them out. Sarah’s mom encouraged her to reach out to Addy’s mom.

“I was hesitant at first because I do have strong feelings about inviting yourself to things,” she said.
When she texted Addy’s mom and reminded her that her daughter wasn’t at the last book club, so she wasn’t sure if she was meant to be invited to the party, she got a disappointing response.
Addy’s mom said she booked a spa service to work for the party, and they supposedly had a limit of 10 customers, so she purposefully only invited the girls in the book club and didn’t expect her daughter to find out about the party.
She told Addy’s mom that she understood but that it didn’t feel right to have one girl excluded from a party with everyone else in her class.
She had to talk with her daughter and tell her she couldn’t expect to get invited everywhere, and she tried to make the moment a life lesson.
Later, Sarah’s mom reached out to her and asked how everything went. She sent her a picture of her conversation with Addy’s mom.
Sarah’s mom responded a few days later and eventually said she wouldn’t bring Sarah to Addy’s party.
“She felt it was wrong to not include just one child, and she could see if our kids didn’t get along or had drama, but that wasn’t the case,” she explained.
“They hired someone knowing just one girl would be left out, and she didn’t agree with it. I [got] a text from Addy’s mom a week later that a total of four girls were not attending. She felt I had ruined her daughter’s party and was creating drama.”
She tried explaining to Addy’s mom that she had no bad intentions of ruining the party and only told one mom about their conversation.
Sarah’s mom must have told others who subsequently pulled their daughters out of the party, which was not what she wanted to happen.
After telling this story to others in her life, she’s starting to wonder if she shouldn’t have texted Addy’s mom in the first place. Since her daughter was the only one not invited, she texted because she thought Addy’s mom had genuinely made a mistake.
“Now I’m unsure if I was just a jerk who now [caused] unnecessary drama in a small group and possibly ruined a child’s party,” she said.
Should she feel bad for what happened to Addy’s party, or did she do nothing wrong?
