Really upset for my dd, please advise.

[twinsplus1]

My 9 year old daughter found out yesterday that a very good friend has left her out of her birthday sleepover.

Dd has been friends with her since birth, they often see each other out of school (don't go to same school) and have always included each other in parties before.

Met up yesterday - mum is a very good friend of mine too - and this mum said she can only invite six as it is a sleepover.

Dd is very upset and had nightmares about it last night. She thinks she must have done something wrong. I have to say that I am really quite upset myself and for my daughter. The mum went on about how her daughter had been unable to ask another friend from school and she was worried this girl would be upset. No mention of how my daughter might feel
Would you still buy this child a birthday present? Have to say this mum does buy a present for my sons even though not invited to their parties. What would you do?

but I never posted LGJ

aww shame for your dd - i would be gutted as well but as the others have said its the way of the world unfortunately - similar just happened to my niece and i was upset for her so understand how you feel ! my dd about to start reception so i have all this to look forward to
big hug for your dd and arrange a special sleepover for her with a couple of her friends - that should do the trick!
