Kids party

im feeling a bit disappointed and hurt for my daughter. She’s quiet, shy. 10 year old. She has a few close friends. She used to be friends with another girl, but the girl went away with another girl. This girl handed out birthday invites to the girls in the class, excluding my daughter. Handing out in front of her. She says she’s not bothered, but she is. What a shity thing to do? Parents need to teach their kids manners.

She invited every other girl?

Or just some girls?

No every other girl in the class

My daughter says she’s not bothered. I think I’m more annoyed than her.

I have found that from about 9 years old girls friendship groups become a nightmare. They can be little cows to be honest

all the other girls? Are you sure or is this just what she’s saying?

Slitheringheights · 03/05/2023 22:34

No it’s def all the girls. There is 14 girls in the class. Christmas the girl handed everyone a Xmas card except my daughter. The girl always gives me a wave when passing. I’ll not be waving back now, petty I know

The teacher should not have allowed this. Poor thing. It’s horrible

We had that. It was awful. All because I was a Brownie leader and this kid hadn't got a space yet. I don't run the waiting lists or organise spots in a pack so I'm not sure why she thought it was my fault.
My dd also said she wasn't bothered until the day of the party and she cried her eyes out. It is downright nasty to leave just one out. If you can't take all take a fewer amount so that it isn't just one. It did make my dd more considerate of other kid's feelings having experienced that. We did something nice together so that she wasn't thinking about the others. I blame the parents. Why would you allow your child to leave one kid out.

Really bad form letting a child hand out invitations in front of those not invited. Probably not even the child’s fault, but their parents… shows why some of their kids behave the way they do. Also the teacher probably shouldn’t have allowed it either.

Little cows? What a hideous way to refer to young girls.

🤷‍♀️ I have seen some shocking behaviour from young girls. Sorry but sometimes they are just that

That is a really nasty thing to do, excluding one girl. Sadly there are parents out there that think this sort of behaviour is acceptable and are ok with causing a 10 year old child (and family) such upset. It is awful excluding one girl when all the rest have been invited. Take your daughter out and have a lovely day instead.
