Right
ds (13) made it through school without needing parties as he only ever had one special friend, twas easy to sort out, he never played much with loads of kids - square peg in round hole is how most described him.
Cue dd almost 5 starting school (some minor SN, sensitive vulnerable small, very bad eyesight, falls a lot)
Today I drop her off, chat to another mother and next thing my dd, like the sodding pied piper, has almsot the engire school gaily skipping after her, including older boys
They are all taking care of her and it nearly made me weep. I asked the teacher and she said your dd is just very well liked.
Am in unchartered territory - I am/was a loner, do not make good friends easily.
So dd needs a birthday party of rlots of kids
I ahve booked a pottery painting cafe, for about 20 friends (14 in her class plus a few more outside school)
Is this the right thing, will I need to better it every year.
I'm half joking, half pleased and half really worried - I have no clues about playdates and parties and girly friends
And is it normal for 5 yr old boys to kiss and hug dd? in a nice affectionate way it looked.
I know this sounds really weird but am quite freaked...
