WWYD to invite or not to invite?
It is going to be the birthday of our DD and I was discussed with my partner who we are inviting. There is a girl that goes to the same nursery as DD and we also see them at ballet class on the weekends. In nursery ours attend in the morningds and the other girl in the afternoons, so they don't see much each other. During ballet class our girls don't interact much. There are other nursery children in the class that get along more with DD and all of them are invited.
The father of the girl is very nice and we like him, particularly my husband, we chat, say hello-goodbyes, normal... But whenever I encounter the mum at nursery, out and about or on the ballet class, I say hi and she never greets me, looks the other way and ignores me. Note that she does greet my husband, just not me.
Given that our children are not that close and the mother is a bit rude, I thought about not inviting the girl. My partner says we should because we speak to the dad and the best friend of that other girl is also getting invited, so they will find out.

If your children were close friends or in the same class it would be different. My daughter has friends and I don’t really talk to their parents. Her best friends mum is always a bit off with me however the dad is very friendly.
The girl won’t be expecting an invite.
If the kids aren’t close I’m not inviting her 🤷♀️ parties get expensive and I just don’t c the point inviting ppl if they aren’t close plus the mom is purposely rude to u
I wouldn't even focus on the mom. The kids are at the same nursery, okay...AND? Theyre not in the same class AND that child and your child aren't friends? It isnt personal. Birthdays get expensive especially if youre renting a space. Now, if you invited kids from the other class in the same nursery then that gets a little sticky because it could feel like you left her out on purpose...rather than just it being a matter of not being in the same class.
