[quote=Anonymous]My second grader attends a private school in DC. He is very sociable, has many friends and has a best buddy that he is very close to. There is this mom of a boy in his grade who constantly organizes these giant playdates at her house, invites about 7-8 moms from the grade with their kids and posts about them on her facebook account, tags all the moms who attended and brags about how much fun the kids and the moms have. My son does play with the son of this mom at recess at school but he is never invited and his best buddy always is. I obviously see the posts on my facebook feed and my son hears about it the next day at school and always asks me  why he is never invited. I definitely feel it's affecting my son's friendships with the kids in his class and especially his best buddy. I always set up playdates for him at my house but usually invite 1-2 kids. I honestly can't compete with the other mom (and I hate feeling like I have to, but I have a full time job and can't compete with SAHMs who have more time to plan and socialize) On a different note, the mom who organizes these playdates is very active in the DC charity circuit and  invites me to galas she is involved with as long as it involves making a donation or paying a few hundred dollars for a ticket. How would you feel if you were in my shoes? And what would you tell your son when he is sad that he never gets invited?[/quote]
