I've been thinking about this for a few days and I might be being a little bit petty, but it's bugging me so I either need to be reassured that I'm ok to be a little bit miffed, or to be told to snap out of it.
DS (3) went to a small birthday party. It was a get together sort of thing rather than a party, with only four children including the birthday child.
We all had a nice time, and it wasn't like a structured party with set events, just a relaxed sort of thing, but there were 2 games of pass the parcel.
So...two children won a prize. The mum was doing the music and was watching to make sure the birthday child didn't end up winning, but it meant the other two children each got something but DS didn't.
It just strikes me as a bit odd, maybe a bit unthinking.
FGS tell me to stop thinking about it.
