To think dd17 is being unreasonable

[Locopops]

Dd17 is the only one out of her group of friends not invited to a party tonight which is unusual for her. She has been very sulky since getting back from school so is clearly upset by it but despite her friends apparently offering to ask the host if she can come she has told them not to. I get that she may be embarrassed to ask but is it not unreasonable to sulk about not going if there is a solution that would allow you to go (very unlikely host would say no)?

I wouldn't want to beg for an invite now or at 17 either. Yes it's annoying that she's sulking but I feel sorry for her - being rejected doesn't feel good at any age and at 17 it feels like the end of the world.

I'm in my 40s I'd be put out,certainly wouldn't want a pity invite and would do something much more fun like watch a film while eating ice cream and drinking gin

DH would tell me what an arse the party thrower is while passing me gin

I would plan an even better party at my house and not invite the party thrower because although I'm in my 40s I can be really immature
