[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom isn't your friend.  If your daughter likes the two other girls, I'd invite them for a sleep over and make it really fun and go over the top making a big fuss.[/quote]

This is a great idea. Even if you can't do a sleep over invite them over for pizza and a movie.[/quote]

That would be good too, with an ice cream sundae or other big fun desert.  Or, even fondue.  You could also invite a few of the girls invited who you know aren't good friends.  Give them something to talk about.  I'd also get each girl a special gift (assuming you can afford it).[/quote]

Yeah, why don't we do a GoFundMe page and get them Lous Vuitton bags while we're at it.  Just so they don't feel any hurt, you know.  Just so they don't figure out not everyone has to like them or be their friend.  Or, even better, let's make them think mommy will always be around to fix everything.  And food, feed them more food.

I seriously hope these suggestions were tongue in cheek...  No wonder kids today are such maladjusted losers.[/quote]

They are 8 years old.  Yes, mom should try her best to fix things.  If it happened to my son and he was upset over it, I'd invite the two other boys, get them each a fun lego kit to do and make a party of it.  And, yes, if you have someone over its polite to feed them all.[/quote]

You're kidding right?  Mom should not be trying to fix things at 8.  Mom should be trying to teach coping mechanisms for life's many (unfair) situations.  Regarding the food, you misunderstand again.  It is not and cannot be a cure for emotional discomfort.  I sure hope you get yourself some parenting books -- I mean it in the nicest way.[/quote]

I agree

Having the party for the child whether it is with those left out or not, is not the point. The point is the parent is easing the pain with a party, gifts, food. This is not normal. You are doing worse for your child. [/quote]
