[quote=Anonymous]I'm spinning off a bit on some of the other b-day party threads...  DC's teachers tell me he is very social and well-liked by classmates.  He's funny but not outgoing.  He is a bit of an introvert so he might choose to spend some of aftercare reading a book, but if I ask counselors about it they tell me he does great socially.  DC's birthday is at the end of the school year and we do a party each year, inviting whole class in K and since then a group of about 15 kids.  Typically most of the kids invited come.  DC is only invited to about one, sometimes two, parties a school year.  I'd been telling myself that because we're in a socioeconomically diverse school there just aren't as many parties, but I do know of at least three parties this year thrown by kids who he regularly plays with and are attending his upcoming party where he was not invited.  To make matters worse we've run into some parties he's been excluded from just by going out as a family to the pool, bowling, etc. on weekends.  It's heartbreaking to me.  DC takes it in stride, but I know he's hurt by it.  I keep throwing parties and inviting kids on play dates even after he's been excluded, but frankly I'm so tired of hosting kids who in turn don't think to invite mine to their parties.  I don't know how to help this situation.  I get that people don't have to reciprocate, but it still sucks.[/quote]
