If I was telling me this story, Im sure I would tell me to get over myself

[boyoboy]

But it still farking makes my blood boil!!!

DD was invited to a fancy dress Princesses and Superheros party...DD is no 9 and so very borderline about dressing as a princess :( but agreed to do so in the spirit of the party. The party was aimed at a much younger group but DD and 2 of her freinds had been invited too.

We gets there and to DD's horror the other girls her age have dressed in thier normal civvies...

but DD said it was ok, although I could tell she was gutted...these 2 friends proceed to completely blank her....half an hour of the party later and much ignoring later DD welled up and said please can I just go home.

One of the freinds mums said her daughter had tried to involve DD and when i pointed out that she hadnt at DD had sat with me for the last half hour it was plain that this girl had been lying but then her mother made no other moves other than to shrug and walk away...

So I made no fuss and came home....felt like my insides were ripped out and I wanted to absolutley RANT but my little voice of reason was saying "its just kids, its just a party" but fark me DD isnt th most confident kid and I could tell she was devasted :( :(

Do i just need to get over myself??

i am soooooooooo over myself tonight

kids n tiffs just not worth getting stressed...i shall just plot my revenge mwah ha ha ha.....just kidding!!!

I completely understand why you were upset. The thought of things like that happening to my dcs as they get older turns my stomach in knots.

How is your dd now? Did you explain to her that sometimes children act silly like that and that it's nothing to do with her, but with them etc?

They may even have actually been jealous that they hadn't dressed up. Sometimes I think children that age don't do things like that just because it's not cool, not because they don't want to. I'd dress up as a princess now if it wouldn't look weird.
