Her Daughter Doesn’t Want To Invite A Bratty Little Girl To Her Birthday Party, But She Wants To Keep The Peace With The Girl’s Mom, Who Is Affluent In Their Community
This woman’s daughter is turning 7-years-old this month, and creating the invite list for her daughter’s birthday party has started to give her some anxiety.
Apparently, there is one girl at school who is “frenemies” with her child.
“The girl has some behavioral issues that I think the mom is trying to address, but the girl is just always trying to one-up my daughter and say she’s better than my daughter at everything,” she explained.
For instance, if the little girl loses in a game or just doesn’t get her way, this will cause a big tantrum. Plus, the girl is constantly invading other people’s personal space.
So, even though they used to have playdates with the girl a lot, they’ve since distanced themselves. According to her, the girl’s mother hasn’t really realized this, either.
Sure, the girl is friends with her daughter, but they aren’t super close or anything. And she just tries to keep the peace.
But, this past weekend, her daughter was creating the invite list for her birthday and didn’t want to invite the little girl.
“And I don’t want to hurt the mom’s feelings because I know if we don’t invite the daughter to the party, she will call me out about how sad her daughter is,” she said.
She’s also worried because the little girl’s mother is reportedly affluent in their community. Their kids are involved in various things together– such as sports and other after-school activities. She and the other mother also share mutual friends.

“So I don’t want to get on the mom’s bad side,” she revealed, “But I don’t want my daughter’s day to be taken from her by this child who is always trying to be the center of attention.”
However, before next school year, her family will be moving into a new school district. This will mean that her daughter and the little girl won’t be involved in so many activities together anymore, and she believes that their relationship with the girl and the girl’s mother will fizzle out on its own.
Regardless, she would rather allow that to happen and let the relationship take its natural course.
“Rather than have bad blood,” she reasoned.
Still, she cannot help but wonder if telling her daughter that they should still invite the little girl to the birthday party would be the wrong thing to do.
Do you think she should continue trying to keep the peace? Or is it wrong to invite someone to her daughter’s birthday party who her daughter clearly does not want there? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
