Guys aren't as emotional as girls, but I wouldn't have dreamed of acting that way at a birthday party I'd been invited to as a child. What the hell?

But I have to say that I have been on her end many times in my life. And I'd also like to add that I love reading your blog, it really takes me away and comforts me. But back to the point, what I wanted from my mother was never for her to actively do something like confront the girl or parents or encourage me to do the same. All I wanted was for her to watch Little Women with me or something with Meg Ryan and stroke my hair and tell me what an exceptional child I am and that I had her approval no matter what other girls thought. And you have to add the part about how she was probably just jealous anyway...Barriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16889358951899826986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-58612146452752964892010-01-31T16:16:47.272-05:002010-01-31T16:16:47.272-05:00I understand your pain.

Then feed them cake! We had 22 kids. We always invite the whole class so no one feels left out, because kids will talk. <br /><br />Since my son was 5 he has never accepted birthday gifts for himself from his friends. Instead he collects new books for his project (www.andrewsbooks.ca). His party, becomes a launch party. This year he collected $3,332! The kids feel great to be included in helping him.ToBlog todayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215485087602615189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-52281496414233044772010-01-30T22:51:20.414-05:002010-01-30T22:51:20.414-05:00Taken is a great movie.

Yippee! I sure do appreciate it! And, yeah, that's my daily goal - to see how many people I can get to wet their pants.<br /><br />Okay - back to you. I once heard that you should only invite the number of kids to a birthday party as to how old the child is turning - thus your daughter turning 11? 11 kids invited. You are a brave, brave soul to have 16 kids there. And you were the only adult? Are you nucking futs? Oh, sorry, kinda lost it there. <br /><br />Childhood sucks. Truly. I hate when one kid is mean to another. Your daughter sounds like such a sweet kid. Be proud mama bear! You're doing SOMETHING right, by golly! Unfortunately, we can't control how the rest of the world will react, only how our child reacts IN it. Your daughter was trying to smooth things over, but those little bitches, uh, darlings, didn't want to cooperate. I would just chalk it up to life. It's not worth delving into. You spoke of the one girl having some family problems - who knows what is going on in that house. And a lot of times when a kid strikes out at another kid, there is jealousy involved, too.<br /><br />Remember, next birthday? 12 kids.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756564685282866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-52620615717091826312010-01-28T22:00:10.530-05:002010-01-28T22:00:10.530-05:00I recommend you eat that little brat, mama bear.I recommend you eat that little brat, mama bear.C.

We are now bestest friends. For Lady H's 7th birthday party I had a sleepover with six other 7/8 year olds. I wanted to kill myself. EVERY kid there cried. EVERY single one of them fought. One of them said "This party stinks" and I wanted to kill her. But my party didn't get to end because it was a slumber party. <br /><br />I did provide some activities for the kids. A couple hours worth. I foolishly thought after that they would just go play with eachother and leave me alone for the most part. That did NOT happen. <br /><br />And if you're just now running into all that cattiness of "i'm not your friend" one day and best friends the next, at 11 years old consider yourself lucky. Lady H is 9 and I've been dealing with it for at least two years. <br /><br />I hope overall Boobear had a good party.<br /><br />Also - 16 kids at The Melting Pot? You must be LOADED !!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog.

She can make it pretty clear to the culprit that she is done with trusting her in the way 11 year-old girls have (it's not the nicest age). It is so upsetting when our children are hurt but we can remind them how terrific they are and that no one can insult them without their permission. I was just saying that to my 15 year old, who has had some tough situations lately. Good luck. I feel your pain, believe me.Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-46252891362133983192010-01-27T17:59:31.816-05:002010-01-27T17:59:31.816-05:00Hi Nancy, just wanted to let you know that I have ...Hi Nancy, just wanted to let you know that I have passed on an award to you.

Part of me wants to tell Boo, I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's totally unfair. Unfortunately in life some people lash out at others in underhanded, secretly mean ways to help alleviate their own pain. It has nothing to do with Boo and it is very, very unlikely to be true. If she can learn now to look at such people with a sort of detached, how sad for you perspective, she will have the kind of mommy protection she needs her whole life long, within her own skin.Dreamfarm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494214244290730058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-44898799009716773922010-01-26T17:55:26.437-05:002010-01-26T17:55:26.437-05:00Eeek, remind me never to cross you!!!Well, I know ...Eeek, remind me never to cross you!!!Well, I know how Boo must feel, been there done that and then some.

Sounds like you have done everything right and that you probably already have told your Boo that she is in no way responsible for the bad behavior and meanness of others. That she had such class to invite someone who had already shown a mean streak says volumes, and her kindness will come back around to her, just as the other girls meanness will come back around to her as well.<br /><br />I must say though, I'm sure you wished for the Martini from your waiter, but I would bet he was hoping you were bringing him one along with those 16 girls!
