You know Perna - you're right I probably would have said no if she was invited. It's kind of the feeling "you don't want to go to a party, but you at least want to be invited and not excluded". It's a little childish way of thinking I suppose.
Since my daughters have been in school I heard of instances with other kids where one kid will use the 'old birthday party punishment' - "I'm not going to invite you to MY party" or "I'm not allowed to have YOU at my party".
You're right though, I most likely would have said "no". I was willing to let all this go. I'm thinking of requesting for next year to ask the school to make them in separate classes. They also have a grade 5 girl and she doesn't get along with other girls either so I don't want this to be thorn in our side for the coming 3 years. I'm not sure if I should request this or not.
