odd one out again

First post.

My DD is 10 and this weekend was the 2th time this year the entire class was invited to a birthday party except her.

This weekend it was the birthday of a girls she is really fond of and when she asked why she told her my mum doesn`t want you.

I have no idea why out of 24 she is being left out and it breaks her heart & mine seeing her this sad.

Yes, it's part of life and I fully comprehend that to some parties only a selection of friends can attend, but to ask 23 instead of 24 seems really harsh.

I have spoken with the teacher who says that my DD gets on with everyone in class and she will make sure that no party talk goes on in class, which i thought was really kind. She could see no reason why and thought it was mean.

Anyone else had to deal with this?

Gosh thats horrendous but doesn't surprise me. In my dd's first school, one child ( not mine) was treated similarly to your dd because she was the best in the class at eveyything. She also happened to be a nice kid who was very popular. I couldn't believe the petty and ridiculous jealousy but Im afraid now nothing shocks me. I too would try to ignore it, treat your d to something nice on the day but don't mention it to her again. It will blow over and you can rest assured that other parents ( just as I did) will be horrifed by these womens behaviour. Be thank ful you are setting a good example for your daughter. I feel sorry for those growing up with ridiculous parents like that!

Urgh, how awful. Absolutely bizarre behaviour from the other mums. How pathetic of them!
