Dd nearly13

[Leogirl73]

My dd is 13 next month and is in a group of pals at school there are 9 in the group inc her , one of the group has just brought in invites for her 13th party and left dd out saying her mum said she could only have 7 girls at party , my dd is really hurt by this i hate things like this and feel so helpless , my dd is having a party next month and has wrote this child an invite to her party what would you do ... Give invite to this girl or not please help ! Xx

I personally would rise above it and invite the girl. There's always issues in girl friendship groups and the best way is to keep out and let your dd decide.

Thanks groovee think you're right x

I would not exclude the girl, it's her mum who has set the limit not the child. If your daughter likes her as a friend then let her invite the girl to her party :)

I see your point sophiawinters but knowing that she is leving just 1 child out seems down right cruel to me , even if it were anther child and not my dd 1 girl was going to feel very excluded , can't help but feel they deserve a taste of their own medicine , I prob won't do this as my dd is a lot more caring than me lol !

I agree it's cruel, some parents are like that sadly :( If I were the other girl's parent I'd include the extra one friend, having one extra person to a party isn't a big difference unless there's a specific reason for a limit on numbers for example they're doing some sort of activity where there is a stipulated limit or car space for transport arrangements. But even then if my daughter was in a group of friends that size I'd expect her to find something else to do for her party that would include everyone. I still feel however that it's the parent and not the child making the rules and I'd let my daughter invite her if that's what she wants to do :)

Agree with Govee. A girl at my grand-daughters school didn't get invited to a sleep over and had expected to, and was crying. My lovely g/dghtr made sure she invited just the left out girl to a sleep over at hers the next weekend.

Girls friendship groups change and fall out and re-group, it's par for the course. Certainly let your daughter invite this girl to her party - shows that she has a generous spirit....
