DD is turning 8 in a few weeks. She wants a sleepover instead of a party. She has had 3 school friends that have been quite close since reception. However this year the school changed their class system and she was moved away from her friends into a year 3/4 class, her friends stayed together in another class. She has told me she's doesn't feel as close to these girls anymore but is now good friends with a couple of girls in her new class.
We can only have 3 children for a sleepover because we don't have the room for any more than that.
DD wants to invite her new friends plus one girl I've never heard of. I want her to invite her older friends because I think it's important she learns to maintain friendships.
The other option is she doesn't have a sleepover and I take them all to the cinema or something.
WWYD?
