I know, I know I shouldn't be so bothered about this but I can't stop thinking about it this morning and i'm feeling really Sad for my DD.

Little girl in DD's class had a birthday party last night, DD wasn't invited so although I didn't give it too much thought (you you can't always invite everyone can you I've been there) I was a bit surprised as they have been to each others houses a couple of times etc and I am on friendly chit-chat terms with the little girls Mum. DD was disapointed but told her it's just one of those things you can't go to them all. Last night she came home and said she was the only one not going. I was a bit Hmm and didn't think for one second that was true.
Transpires after talking to a few mum's this morning DD was one of the only girls not to go Sad there were three girls not there, DD, one who is on holiday and a little girl who started this term (which I also think is a bit mean)

Now I believe that a couple of weeks ago (about the time the invites went out) there was a bit of a spat. DD came home saying 'x was moody and wouldn't let me play' and 'x said she isn't my friend' but after 2 days it seemed to blow over, the little girl, my DD and the mum and I have spoken on the way to and from school a couple of times and it was perfectly fine. Surely If there was any real issue between them i'd imagine the mum would have spoken to me or the class teacher would have?

Is it just me that thinks it's a bit mean to leave just one (well two really) girl out of the whole class? even if there was a spat then leaving DD out makes it all a bit worse really? Felt so bloody stupid this morning waiting to go in as we were stood there and a few of them were talking about party bags, the party etc with this Mum. I had a big grin plastered to my face. DD looked gutted, that's whats made me so Sad. The mum did look a bit shamefaced though.

I'm not saying for one second she should of invited my DD how dare she not well am a bit ahem but I do think it's all a bit mean.
Phew I neded a bit of a rant I feel better now. Was going to do a passive aggressive "Oh have a great holiday do hope x enjoyed her party heard it was fab" or am I going to look like a nutter? The girl and her Mum seem seemed really nice too oh bloody hell kid's parties!

Well thanks all as I said earlier we've both moved on now phew Grin

I was upset yesterday because she was pretty upset, no-one likes to see their LO's upset do they? she's only 6 bless her, anyway I came on here (and on AIBU of all places Wink ) had a good rant and felt much better!

Like I said apart from her saying she felt 'a little bit sad' when the girls all talked about it yesterday she's never mentioned it again knowitallstrikesagain she did get on with her pretty well in he past but she'll have her up's and down's with friends i'm sure, I know I did.

Thanks again all.

YANBU as its happened to my DD a couple of times. I hope it's just been an accident rather than a deliberate act although some people are that ridiculous. Personally, I just make light of it and DD has never been bothered for more than a few minutes. I do think they pick on on your feelings about it.
