Do I have to make my daughter invite my best friend's daughter to her birthday party?

The girls were best friends for several years. This past year they have drifted apart, but I don't believe my friend is aware of the extent to which my daughter feels alienated from her daughter. Now my daughter does not want to invite my friend's daughter to her birthday party, even though the other girl just returned from vacation with a gift for her.

HELP! I treasure her mother's friendship and do not want to lose it over this! Asked by Midlf.renisance.42 9 months ago Similar questions: make daughter invite friend's birthday party Lifestyle > Etiquette.

I wish I knew the age of your daughter. In this case I would have a talk with my daughter and ask her as a "special favor for me" would she please invite my best friends daughter. I would tell her that many times in life you have to do what is right and it is cruel to be mean to another girl.

You could tell her that you don't expect them to be best friends and hang out together the whole time at the party. Just tell her it would be a nice thing to do especially since the girl returned from vacation with a gift for her. Also be honest with her and tell her it would hurt Your best friend if her daughter is not invited.

Honesty is the best policy. Just tell her what you feel and remember YOU ARE THE MOTHER.

Thanks for the quick response. My daughter is turning 10 this year. I did try many tacts with my daughter, including "you're both girl scouts, you should be a friend to her" and "how would you feel if you were the one being left out," but my daughter's argument is that she won't fit in with the other girls she is inviting anyway.

I will admit that my friend's daughter does tend to be a drama queen and I could possibly (not necessarily probably, but possibly) see her causing a problem at the party. Midlf.renisance.42 9 months ago .

Take USMC's advice. It is very good. At ten years old you are the boss of the house not her.

When she gets to be a teenager you will have bigger problems when it comes to parties but at ten you can handle this one.

There are going to be a lot of things in life that you need ( or have) to do, age 10 is not too young to learn. Tell her to invite her and keep her mouth shut to the rest of the girls. If Drama Queen causes a problem it will be HER fault and everyone will see it.

Otherwise tell her she can do what she wants but it is the LAST party until she is old enough to pay for it. If we do not become parents we just become used.

IT IS NOT YOUR PARTY. My youngest daughter does not like my son (from my first marriage). I would NEVER dream of inviting him to her party, even if he begged me to.It's not my place to try and fix anything between them either.

If your friend would disown you over what your daughter chooses to do on her birthday, she's not a good friend. I would ask your friend to lunch, and tell her what's going on.

No it's your daughters day. Anything that would make her feel uncomfortable or lead to here not having fun shouldn't happen. Maybe a few get together's to see if they can form a bit of a friendship before hand would help.

You should invite her... Since she's only ten it doesn't matter. They might bond over the birthday party again. :) .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
