to be annoyed that DD didn't get invited to 2 kids parties which were yesturday

[AliciaMum]

Went to pick DD (5) up from school Friday afternoon and all the mums were talking about this childs party which was yesturday. I wasn't in conversation with the mums but was standing next to them and could hear what they were saying.

They were thanking the mum for the invite and most said they would be there.

Then I heard one of the mums saying she was going to the boys party. Apparantly there were two parties the same day so the mum chose the boys (both kids in DD's class).

When my DD came out from the class she looked upset and said that all the kids had been invited to either one or both of the kids parties (how true this is I don't know).

I am so annoyed she wasn't invited to at least one of the parties. I personally hate kids parties and couldn't give a hoot if I ever went to one again - but my DD loves going to parties and getting all dressed up.

AIBU to feel gutted about this? I felt reallu upset about it.

It's also a well known fact that I refuse all parties held on a Saturday so dd probably gets a lot of parties she isn;t invited to.

YANBU, Aliciamum, but you are going to have to get used to it. Out of a class of 27 children, DS got invited to just TWO parties whilst in reception (one of those was an all-class party). I used to chat to everyone, so does DS...

Children DO talk a lot about parties they are having or attending, they outright brag about it and threaten "You're not being invited to my party!" when cross with each other.
