Mother refuses to invite a girl to her daughter’s birthday party because of an incident that happened in the past. But when the girl’s mother learns about it, she asks her to reconsider » TwistedSifter

When it comes to our children’s birthday party, we want them to invite their friends and people who will make their birthday extra special.

However, in this story, the mother admitted that she did not invite a girl from her daughter’s class because there had been an unpleasant incident with the child’s mother in the past.

Note that this girl is a good friend of her daughter.

What would you do if you were in their shoes?

I (31, female) have a daughter, Mary (9, female).

She is very popular and is friends with all the other children in her class.

My daughter turns 10 this weekend and, like she has done for the past few years, she wanted to have a party with all the kids in her class at a local children’s venue.

However, a girl named Ella (9F) did not want to invite her.

This happened last year on Mary’s birthday.

Last year, Ella (who was new in the class) was invited to her birthday party.

Ella is a lovely girl and she and my daughter actually get along very well. The real problem is the girl’s mother.

At the last party, Ella fell and scraped her knee. She cried a little, but I put a plaster on it and soon she was able to play again.

However, when Ella’s mother came to pick her up after the party and I explained to her what had happened, she freaked out.

Her daughter tried to say that everything was fine, but she cursed at me and several parents in front of the children and tried to complain to the school.

Ella’s mother found out and was angry.

Although my daughter and Ella are close, Mary is now afraid of Ella’s mother and fears that the same thing might happen again if Ella is invited.

When I sent out the invitations this Monday, I did it privately so Ella wouldn’t find out, and I told everyone to please not tell everyone because I want something smaller this year.

However, I received a message from Ella’s mother in which she was very angry and very rude.

She called me a narcissistic tyrant and even said that the fact that her daughter was not invited was for racist reasons.

She asked for a second chance, but said a firm no.

I replied and explained that it was because of what happened last year.

However, she insisted that it was my fault.

She sent me another message today saying that she has mental health issues and sometimes can’t control herself and asking for a second chance.

But I said no and asked her to contact me only if it was really necessary.

I still feel sorry for Ella and now I ask myself: AITA?

Poor Ella!

She doesn’t have to suffer from her mother’s temper.
