my dd is in a very small class at school, there are 10 children. 5 girls and 5 boys. There were 9 up to last May when a new girl started and up to that point dd was best friends with another girl in the class.
Over the past few months my dd has played with her best friend and the new girl as a group of three which seemed to be working. In the summer I had the girls over (both girls) to play as I didn't feel it would be fair to leave someone out and they do play as a three.
Over the past few weeks dd has been upset because her best friend and the new girl now have started to leave her out at play times and ignore her. This last week it has really affected her confidence and every night has cried about it and has been quite withdrawn. Every days she says I hope x and y don't leave me out today.
It's really hard for me because there aren't other friends to play with in her class. She has played with the boys in the past but she wants to play with the girls. She doesn't really gel with the other girls in the class (there are only a few to choose from!!).
Yesterday I did the school pick up and dd's best friend's mum and the new girl's mum were stood with me talking openly about the playdate that they had arranged for them. I am really upset for dd because they have not invited dd. I walked away in the end because I didn't want to get cross about it.
AIBU to feel so annoyed and upset?
