FOR a school child, being the only one not invited to a party is heart breaking, particularly if you've been excluded for the way you look.
But one mum explained that her two daughters were left out of a kiddies event unless they dyed their hair a "natural colour".
The upset mother took to Reddit to explain that she had been dying her daughters' hair for years and that they adore the unusual colour.
She said that at first the youngsters were invited to their friend's birthday party, which happened to be on Halloween, but that they were instructed to change their hair colour beforehand.
Writing on Reddit, she said: "My daughters (aged 11 and 10) both have purple hair. They love it this way and have been getting it dyed since they were six (with caution).
“They were invited to a little girl's birthday/Halloween party under the condition they have their hair dyed a natural colour. I asked why and the mother insisted their hair would take away from birthday pictures because they'd draw attention.
“I asked if my daughters could just not be in the pictures, and she said there's no way to guarantee that and to either dye their hair a ‘normal’ colour or they can't come.”
But the mother decided that this was an unreasonable request so opted to through her own Halloween party for her daughters and some of their class mates.
She said: “I decided to throw a party for my daughters on Halloween since they won't be able to go to that one and invited her classmates (the girl was in a completely separate class).
"We had the party with a cake, bounce house, candy piñata and all that cool jazz. The girls had a blast, and I posted a few pictures online.
“Apparently this was the wrong move cause the little girl's mother saw my post and asked what right I had to steal her daughter's moment from her.
"Her daughter saw the pictures and was upset she didn't get to come to the party because they didn't have the things we did.
“Her mother said I was an a**hole for one upping her just because my kids couldn't come to their party and that if I really wanted them there, I would've just dyed their hair.”

The Reddit post divided opinion as fellow forum users couldn't agree on who was in the wrong.
One said: “This woman had every right to have a party for her girls, who were deliberately excluded from the other party based on how they looked.”
While another said: “Technically you did nothing wrong and the birthday girl's mum was an a**hole – but this still feels really petty in a dirty kind of way.”
