Relationships
ADVERTIsem*nT
Being picked for a team in gym class, theater auditions, and birthday party invitations might be a sort of final boss for kids of a certain age. Most parents know this as well, so an involved adult will keep track of what their child gets and doesn’t get invited to.
One parent got perhaps a bit too involved, so they wanted to ask the internet for some advice. After noticing that their daughter was the only one without a birthday party invitation, they reached out to some other moms, sparking a chain of events that would almost lead to the whole party being ruined.
Not getting included in an activity can be heartbreaking for most children

Am I the only person who thinks a "spa" for a bunch of 9 year olds is a weird activity and that entire birthday party sounds completely overmanaged?

You are not. That said, I don't think watching a movie AND swimming is a good move either - that sounds like a recipe for kids not paying full attention and setting up a disaster in the pool.

Honestly, whatever Addy's mom intended, she created a forseeable problem where one girl would be excluded from the existing friend group. It's bullying behaviour, and Sarah's mom has a lot of class, making sure it didn't happen. Total NTA here.
