[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If "friends" (frenemies) are few and far between, your daughter can tell the friend, honestly, that "My feelings are hurt that you didn't invite me to your birthday party." And then, depending on the response, "Let's celebrate separately sometime." To try to find a slender silver lining: The "cool" kids may indeed be into things that would make your DD uncomfortable. My daughter was excluded from THE birthday party for a girl she's known since kindergarten because the party was an King's Dominion; my daughter is scared of roller coasters, and there were boys in the mix (I think there was a cap on the number of kids the parents wanted to invite). Anyway, the birthday girl later invited my daughter to a sleepover, privately. Happiness, of a sort. 
My heart goes out to all those excluded, for "good" (understandable) reasons, and bad. [/quote]

Yes maybe she should ask. It may be awkward but it can’t be any more awkward than her thinking her best friend excluded her. She can do it in a calm polite way but being direct. Sometimes that’s best.[/quote]
