Year 6 DD class was asked to upload pics of themselves inside and outside of school on teams. She’s been really excited and spent ages choosing the right pictures. Class only has 16 kids in so she tried to choose pics where everyone was there so for example all the class parties she had, school concerts etc.
she’s been really upset today (as have I) as we looked through the pictures. There are tons of pictures of the girls she thought were her friends at various activities without her e.g. cinema trips, bowling, sleepovers and parties she wasn’t invited to. I know not everyone can invite every child to a party but that doesn’t bother me, the days out without her bother me. We’re moving away and the kids have been crying that they will miss her (it’s an all through school) and she has been receiving so many gifts. We finished school on Friday. It’s just really upset me that she was never invited.
plus we have invited the girls - there are 8 in total including DD to activities like when I took them cinema etc. and booked other things but not one of those pictures has been uploaded by them. She really considered 3 of them her best friends and they were hugging and crying on Friday but now to see they did all these things over the years without her. Plus the parents must know how it looks but still posted the pics. It feels to me the whole of primary was a lie as I thought these mums and kids were our friends. DD is really upset and has told me she doesn’t want to see them again. We have invited the girls to our home next week to say goodbye properly. I really feel like cancelling
