Not so much because I wanted to exclude anyone, but because my budget only allowed so many children and if we included children of one sex the numbers would be appropriate and hopefully there would have been better understanding. I didn't want Girl A and Girl B to be invited but not Girl C with no explanation. My daughter didn't have any close boy friends at the time and all of her must have guests were there so I don't think she minded. As for being parents being uncomfortable with boys present... well ummmmm I don't quite 'get' that, but perhaps it's because I'm the mom of an 11 year old boy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596119915366833694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298420976025938487.post-49701567499651618302013-09-29T17:15:16.835-04:002013-09-29T17:15:16.835-04:00Yes, true who knows parents reasoning.

They always attend one another's birthdays, It's never been an issue.<br /><br />On the other side of that, I have two daughters, 17 and almost 16. They, too, have friends of the opposite gender. At least, they think they do. And then after a few weeks or a few months, the inevitably starts asking them out. Where my girls think they are "just friends", the boys seem to believe otherwise.<br />So it makes me think that at some point, things may change. I don't know.<br />But I agree with you, it's not something to worry about with 11 yr olds. They are just kids!<br />BTW.....WHO invites the entire class to a party? Holy cow. We have a limit of 6 invites. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298420976025938487.post-49734681384046028482013-09-23T11:42:43.677-04:002013-09-23T11:42:43.677-04:00Ok are you serious?

How can a parent trust a child 8 hours out of their site but can't trust to invite them to a house party where parents are visible. Makes no sense to me smh. My daughter has soccer 6 days a week, goes to HS from 7 to 2:30 and she's 14 but has been doing that since she was 7, give me a break, do they know what year it is? What technology is out there? Makes no sense. To me that only gives the kids more reason to do all the things they are not supposed to do. How can you try to police them at home when your not with them when they go to school. I'm sorry but I think that's....... ok you fill in the blanks lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260503702640648031noreply@blogger.com
