There was a party on Sunday to which ds1 was not invited to. I didn't think anything of it because he doesn't particularly like the girl who was having the party anyway (he is 3 and a half). I arrived at nursery this morning and one of the other boys Mum's asked me why my little boy wasn't there. I replied "he wasn't invited". She looked really shocked and said "he was the only one". Despite being quite a calm person most of the time, I do pride myself on being able to not get over emotional, I felt a huge lump in my throat. Then I felt really cross that this child's mother would be so petty as to leave 1 child out of a class of 37 for goodness sake! They are 3-4 year olds. I then felt even crosser at the nursery for letting this happen, they actually give out the invitations on behalf of the parents. So I saw the principal as I was entering and asked to see her. I really really really meant to stay calm but ended up bawling my eyes out. I just kept thinking of ds1 in his little dennis the menace top being the only one missing out on a party. Then she told me this was all rubbish and actually only 20 were invited out of 37. So there actually is no problem. I am sooooo mortified and wondering how on earth you get past all this party invitation rubbish. I have GOT to stop caring about it! ANyone else been through similar and come out the other end?
