A Reddit mom didn't invite everyone in her son's class to his birthday party, and some parents are mad... What do you think?
“So last year was my kid’s first year in ‘big kids’ school’ like he calls it, since his first grade coincided with the pandemic,” she wrote. “We are not in the best place financially; like most families, our consumer debt piled on and we are throwing every spare cent at it. So when it was time to throw him a party, I only invited 5 of his classmates, the ones he considered his friends. For the others I sent 2 dozen cupcakes and juice boxes to class.
It sounds laidback and, honestly, like a blast! Kudos to this mom for thinking out-of-the-box and making her son’s party awesome. The only problem? The kids had so much fun, they couldn’t help talking about it at school. Enter: upset parents. “At pick up Tuesday, a couple moms confronted me about not inviting their kids. I said that I am sorry, but it was a small party for his close friends only. They kept complaining about me excluding their kids.” She added that she didn’t really think too much about it, but now a new school year has started. “Almost 6 month later, and I am still getting the occasional comment thrown at me.
Another commented that the whole invite-the-whole-class thing is a fairly new concept. “Maybe times have changed but when I was in school it was pretty uncommon for the entire class/grade to be invited to a birthday party,” they wrote. “Most kids just had their close friends.”
