I asked this question in parenting but, I wanted to see if I got a different point of view in this catagory. My middle son is having a bday party next week and has asked that I dont invite the child of a family friend. He told me he still wants her parents to attend though. The kids both started Kindergarten this year and ended up in the same class. I also babysit this little girl. He told me he doesn't want her here because he is tired of her always being around. I have several dicipline issues with this child, and I dont know how to address her parents with my sons request. I don't want to be rude, but I also want my son to enjoy his day. Yes, he will only be 6, but he has expressed his opinions several times. What would be the proper way to tell this little girls parents? They treat my 3 kids as their own, and we help each other out when we can. The little girls mom even drove me to the hospital when I was in labor with my son. Please.... any advice will help. THANKS

ok, so how do I go about telling them they aren't invited this year? They know when the party is every year and normally the little girls mother takes my son to buy his bday cake. I have been discussing disiplinary issues with them every day and they were told that if it continues I will no longer be able to watch her. Do I just tell them what he told me, that he is tired of her and doesn't want her to mess it up? I hate having to do things like this....

I agree with gwenny totally. You can't ask these very close family friends to come to your son's bday party and ask them to leave their daughter at home. You need to either not invite any of them or sit down with your son and explain to him that he can't have the parents there and not the child. If he really wants to see the parents then he needs to be willing to have their daughter there too. Maybe in the near future, you and the other mom can have a talk about your son's issues and see if you can reach some type of resolution.

gosh...well I would either have them ALL or none.so if the wee girl isnt coming, dont invite the parents neither, I mean really we cant have mom and dad there and not the 6 yr old.I woudl just say that you are not haveing too many people this year and leave it at that with mom.But dont invite them and not the girl
