After prom Nfi

[Ginfa]

just Looking for some advice how to deal with a situation with my son who is currently doing his GCSEs. He is upset because there is an after party after prom which the large majority of his year have been invited to and he hasn’t. Apparently a coach is collecting them from the prom and he is mortified and now says he does not want to go at all. I don’t know whether I should just go along witb this or he will regret not going in the future and try to do something for his smaller group of friends after. I do feel upset for him but I guess it’s part of growing up I don’t want to understate his upset but equally I appreciate in a few months hopefully it will fade. He is not staying at the same school for sixth forM and I would say he is a bit of a misfit but he thinks the point of the after prom is that everyone is invited (it’s quite a small school) and thinks it’s bad form!

You're being ridiculous, mummy. I'll leave you to it.

I have asked Dd to invite some of my friends dds who are local and not very social. Honestly it’s a minefield. We have 50 coming we have a large space to be fair and have held teen parties before so know the drill but only 1 downstairs loo. I hate to think of people being left out but there has to be a limit - our poor neighbours.

Thanks for all the replies. My son has had experience of not being invited to parties and is not bothered aboht that aspect. It’s really the fact that the entire year except 10 being invited and the public nature of the coach he is bothered about. I do think that is unnecessarily mean of the parent, invite less and don’t make it so public
