Is it cruel exclusion or practical parenting? Hayley and Max go head-to-head in this passionate debate about whether children should be required to invite their entire class to birthday celebrations. The discussion quickly transforms from lighthearted banter into a surprisingly emotional exchange that will have parents everywhere nodding in recognition or shaking their heads in disagreement.

Max tugs at heartstrings with a vivid story of a rejected five-year-old discovering she's been excluded from the "butterfly club" birthday party, painting a picture of childhood isolation that's hard to ignore. Meanwhile, Haley counters with brutal practicality - the financial burden, weekend sacrifices, and the absurdity of forcing children to celebrate with classmates they may not even like.
