Ds been friends with my friends dd since they were babies, boy and girl. My son has always said this girl was his best friend, and when I had my dd3, my friend said shed my son each week after nursery one day a week. I offered take dd on a number of occasions until it was evident she was looking after another little girl on the same estate. Eventually lots of excuses ensued and she stopped the Mondays but she still looked after other little girl. They still had the odd play dates but latterly lots of excuses. Friend was happy when not only my ds and dd were not in the same class as she wanted her to spread her sings (fair enough). She was equally glad her other wee friend wasn't in the same class but being on same estate they still play together. My son still says he plays with this girl but for the first time, she has not invited ds to her dds party saying she was just having a few girlfriends, no boys, except a male cousin. They are born around the same town so their parties on same day. My ds invited her dd but she's not coming. Normally my dh is usually level headed about these things but even he is saying its a bit strange. My ds is not bothered so that's not the issue... Just know there is a message there (friend said it was her dd who didn't want him there) but I feel a bit rejected though she still is friendly with me etc. can't help feel its a snub ....
