My DD started school last September in a type of school that has a huge intake at year 3. She’s a quiet, sensitive and sweet child and got friendly with a group of lovely girls straight away. Even though she had this group, last year she got invited to Only ONE party! even though this was the case I still invited whole class to her birthday which was lovely for her and I could tell everyone really likes her. One girl even said infront of me she really wanted my DD to come to her birthday last month but her mum said no. I didn’t think much of this tbh and thought maybe they can’t afford too many kids and having a small one. I obviously didn’t question the mum!
Had coffee with the only mum who invited us to her DD’s party over the holidays and she brought up the subject how it’s nasty they don’t invite my DD to the parties. I seriously thought nothing of it till she told me there’s been lots of parties both for the girls and boys. I feel heartbroken for my DD.
my AIBU is knowing what I know now should I just invite people that will invite us this coming year (I’m hoping by us having had whole class party people might invite her this year) or shall I be petty and just keep it to her old school friends and other friends outside of school? Plus maybe the one or two people that will invite us? DD is one of youngest in class so most people would already have had a party before hers comes. WWYD?
