Mum slammed for excluding one child at her daughter’s birthday party

Mum is slammed for inviting her daughter’s entire class of 20 to her 7th birthday party EXCEPT the student who bullied her – so do you agree?

  • A mum didn’t invite a class bully to her daughter’s seventh birthday party 
  • The 28-year-old sent out 20 invites to the entire class  
  • Her daughter Payton preferred not to have the bully at the event 
  • The bully’s mum called Payton’s mum insisting her daughter is invited  

A mum has copped backlash from another parent after inviting the entire class to her daughter’s birthday party except the student who bullied her. 

On Reddit the 28-year-old mum said her daughter Payton was excited about her seventh birthday next month and 20 children were invited. 

‘The student we did not invite has bullied her several times (we’ve had meetings with the school and parents). Obviously Payton doesn’t want this kid at her party,’ the mum wrote. 

The bully’s mum then contacted Payton’s mum in attempt to score an invite.

‘The other girl’s mother called me to talk about it saying how now her daughter is crying she was the only kid not invited and everyone at school is talking about the party. (Payton’s parties are known by her classmates to be very over the top),’ the mum wrote. 

‘I explained her daughter isn’t nice to my daughter and that’s the reason she wasn’t invited (the mother knows this). 

‘The mother said I’m teaching my child to be a “bully” and use her wealth to make friends. I disagreed.’

Payton’s mum didn’t want to come to an agreement in which the bully could attend the party. 

‘The mother then asked if she had her daughter apology and write Payton a letter we could reconsider,’ she said. 

‘I told her we would not and it has become a big deal every time I see the mum.’ 

After sharing the situation with thousands on Reddit she asked ‘am I the a**hole?’, and the majority were on her side.

‘Your daughter has every right to feel safe at her party,’ one person commented. 

‘You’re teaching your daughter to draw boundaries when someone is mean, and you’re teaching her daughter that actions have consequences,’ another said.  

A third added: ‘Her kid has bullied yours so of course Payton doesn’t want her there. This is a great time for the bullies mom to teach them that actions have consequences.’

Another said: ‘Forced apologies aren’t useful in any situation. The other mother needs to move on.’
