To wonder why I'm being inclusive when no one else is?

My dd2 is having a party. We're inviting all the girls in her class so no one feels left out. However just found out of at least 2 parties where my DD has not been invited. Why do i even bother?

Did a FB party invite as is the norm these days however one mother has blocked me so I can't add her. DD wants me to get the details to this mum as they are friends and play in school. I've tried to reconcile with the mother for the sake of the kids in the past via text and email and she completely ignores me. She is one of the ones having a party.

Am I being unreasonable not making an effort to get the details of the party to this mum? Last year this girl was invited to ours for a sleepover and the mum didn't even tell her. DD has told the girl she is invited and the mother has my number.

Ps I know people have small parties and that's fine but these were bigger parties which everyone then talks about in school.

IDK, why do you? Maybe the dc having those parties do not want to socialise with your dd. People are entitled not to be your dd's friends! Rather than making your dd's birthday all about you and her being demonstratively inclusive, focus on it being about your dd celebrating her birthday with people she enjoys being with? And remind her that just because she wants someone to come, that doesn't mean they can, or want to, or will do.

Op do your daughter a favour and step away from Facebook drama. There's much more to life than playground drama and proving how popular you are by throwing whole class parties (and dressing that crap up as "inclusion"!). You should have grown out of that stage by now, both literally and figuratively. You can't make that woman be your "friend".

"All the girls in the class" parties at age 9. Just wow.

‘Just wow’? Seriously?
