Marianne was having lunch with a friend and this Mom was telling Marianne how she was getting ready for her kid’s birthday party. The party was going to be small meaning not everyone from her kid’s class could be invited. One of the kids who didn’t make the guest list found out about the party and that kid’s mom tried pressuring Marianne’s friend into inviting her kid. Should Marianne’s friend just invite this kid or is there a polite way to tell this woman no?

We asked our listeners for advice on the subject as well.
