T1 is a popular girl. More often than not, she gets invited to many parties. However, I’ve noted more than once that not everyone else is. In fact, one student hardly ever gets invited to any parties! Which brings me to this – should we invite everyone or just the few that a child likes, and whom he considers friends?
In some International Schools in town, it is compulsory that whenever a student has a birthday party, to invite the entire class. That’s a whole 30 kids running around in your home!! Assuming you hold it at home. I’d rather just scrap the party! If it was at Kizsport or something, fine, but expensive. Well and good if you can afford to pay more than RM3000 for a kiddy party, but otherwise, it is what some people use to feed their families in a month. Or two. Or three.
Yet, I keep thinking of those poor kids who don’t get invited. Their rejected and dejected little hearts at such a tender, sensitive age……Sure, they will have to learn this eventually, but is it really necessary now? Some kids are fine with not being invited to a party, but some aren’t. And to preserve the happiness of those who are more sensitive, I’m inclined to invite everyone. Everybody deserves a chance to be invited. They may not come, but it is polite to just invite them any way. Now, to convince my girl that we should learn to be a gracious host!
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.



I totally agree on the idea of inclusion. However, I won’t throw parties beyond family members because it is expensive to do so.
Your thoughts are amazing.
Are so nice of you. I only limit big parties for them every 3 years or so, if not I PK liao LOL.
