Dd is part of a group of 7 girls who are a big group of friends although I guess one or two are better friends than others. At the weekend one girl had a sleepover for her birthday and was only allowed to choose 5 friends so my dd was left out. Today she has come home from school and another friend is having an ice skating party and again my dd is not invited. She often complains that is not the popular one in the group but I feel upset for her. She won't ask this girl why she isn't invited. This girl was round at our house 2 weeks ago and they seem to get along well. I feel I can't get involved but want to say something too but wonder if this will make things worse. Is it just girls of this age? Do I bite my tongue? Do I let dd invite them to her party after Xmas even though I don't want to? Has anyone else been through this? Any ideas?
