Re: Some people can be horrible

I agree with Muddy, stay out of it Julie as it could turn on yourself and you'd end up being the bad one, especially if all the other mums are daft enough not to cross her.

Re: Some people can be horrible

I disagree.

I suggest that Julie should let it be known that the local newspaper will be coming round to run the story.

That'd get them going....!

Even if not true.

Re: Some people can be horrible

Why would you want to expose your children to that sort of nonsense?
Because it will affect the children .
There are always a quota of insane parents at schools usually mothers so will hardly be head line material .

Re: Some people can be horrible

Honestly, l have never heard of such pettiness.
A kid doesn’t get invited to a party? So what? That’s life!

For Grace to deny herself of a good time is daft and in a way, she is cutting off her nose to spite her face!

You wait in a few weeks all these kids will be friends again and all will be forgotten.

Mother’s, in my opinion, should keep their snouts out of children’s disagreements with other children. It’s a bad old world out there and they have to be tough, not go all namby pamby at the first sign of rejection!

Re: Some people can be horrible

Your Grace sounds very courageous and considerate. But don't worry, this will all blow over.

Re: Some people can be horrible

Quite a row going on when I arrived at the gate this afternoon, I stayed in my car until it was over looks like a lot of people not happy, I predict a school letter about inclusion will be in everyone's bag tomorrow afternoon !

Re: Some people can be horrible

Julie, Just to say, when l told my daughter, who is a primary school teacher about this, she totally agreed with what you have said and she admired Grace for the action, she has taken!!

Re: Some people can be horrible

they sound like a very dull family Julie, trying to be interesting and failing.

Your family, well that's one you should write a book about. That's the sort of family people would love to read about and emulate. I would buy the book - you just need to write it!

Re: Some people can be horrible

It would serve that mother right if, come the day, no-one turned up to the party anyway. Except that would hurt the birthday child.

Re: Some people can be horrible

Yes you ar right there SB, however the mother of the birthday child is willing to subject that same hurt on the little boy who does not conform to her notion of perfect. For that reason I would decline the birthday invitation and take my child for a special treat elsewhere.
