[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP. My kid is in 3rd and I feel  much the same. He has one friend who comes over all the time for play dates so we lean into that. But otherwise, by 3rd grade I think he has been invited to one bday and he barely had any in daycare either. It makes me feel sad for him becuase his brother is the opposite (now 6th, but has constantly been going to birthday parties since he was an infant).

Honestly, I know part of it was covid. But when my eldest was in daycare every single kid had an all kid birthday for the almost 5 years we were there (and i made a great group of mom friends that I am still friends with 12 years later). Then we started K and instantly made a tight group of mom friends and we (and our kids) have remained friends all though ES and into middle.

With my younger son I tried all the same socialization. We invited people over (they would decline playdates) and no one had birthdays (or if they did he wasn't invited). My youngest is shy so maybe it is that? Or maybe a lot is covid? I don't know, but it makes me a bit sad.

Overall, my kid seems fine, but he does ask why he never gets to go to any birthdays. [/quote]
