I know I'm being ridiculous....

It's a "my child hasn't been invited to the party" post.

DD hasn't been invited to a party and sleepover, whereas it seems like all the other girls in her class have. Only found out because another Mum messaged me to ask if DD was going to the sleepover or just the party. DD idolises the birthday girl, they play together and she'll be really upset to not be invited (I've not mentioned it).

I know it's ridiculous but I'm really upset. I know it shouldn't bother me, and that it's probably numbers etc. Just keep wondering who can do that to a little girl? And to my lovely, funny, happy little girl? I know I'm over-reacting and that I'll get over it, but grrr - I'm fucking angry and also really sad at the moment!

And now you lot are also ignoring me!!

Have you checked her school bag? I found out about a party after another mum asked me if my Dd was coming as I hadn't rsvp'd. Dd had just forgotten about the invitation and it was tucked inside her bag.

Sorry but if you invite all but one girl in a class you can always squeeze the one girl in. I have no idea why people do this. It's just awful for the poor kid left out.

I can sympathise. My DD was in same position a month or so back. Not going to lie she was upset about it. Was to do with numbers (the mum was only allowing the bday girl to have 5 friends round, my DD was the 6th of the group)
We agreed to do something nice together instead and DD has since got over it. It's still a stickler for me though!

it’s things like this that help our children become more resilient in life. It’s not fair but it’s just how it is.

I know it’ hurts now and I’ve been there with all of my 4 dc. They get over it. Do something fun with your dd that day.
