This is my first post....ive expressed my feelings to my husband who thinks I'm being petty and I need to get over it but I'm finding it very hard so basically I have 2 DD age 8 and 4 older girl in a lovely class at school always been invited to parties all the mom's talk to each other no groups no cliques etc....my youngest ones class however is totally the opposite there are a group of girls and mom's who obviously know each other before their kids started school I've always been a friendly person and smile and say hello to everyone my DD had a party in nursery and invited everyone all these girls came and always seem friendly to my DD say hello to her etc if we see them out of school and she talks about them she has been invited to their parties all except one which I have found out about thanks to the joys of Facebook....i have seen photos and can see that pretty much every girl out of their class was there but we didn't even get an invite....i know this is really pathetic but it's really bothering me I speak to the mom and she's always pleasant and I know our two girls play with each other I just can't see why my DD hasn't had one my husband says it's good as one less present to buy ! Now when we go back to school next week I feel like I want to ask this mom how the party went, but that would make me seem like I'm bothered which I am but don't want to let her know this....i know I'm the one with the problem If it's like this at age 4 and 5 what will it be like when they are older I can't bear the thought of my DD having to deal with this she is such a shy quiet little thing it makes me sad....any advice on how I can overcome this is welcome please....

She's been invited to all the parties except this one? You might be over reacting just a little bit...

Let me get this right... she’s got plenty of friends, and has been invited to every party except one. And you’re upset that she didn’t get invited to that one party?

I think your elder daughter's year group has softened your skin somewhat, you need to let parties slide off you like a duck's back.
You don't have to ask about the party- you can talk about Christmas cooking, the weather, tell her you like her coat, you really don't have to ask about the party.
