[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was definitely wrong of your daughter to bring it up (I taught my daughter at 6 years old to never talk to other friends about parties, because not everyone is always invited, and she gets it - why haven't you taught your daughter this yet??).

BUT why isn't anyone here talking about how rude it was of Sara's mom to call Amy's mom to ask why she wasn't invited??  This is middle school, land of mean girls.  Sara's mom should have consoled Sara and explained how now that they're not in the same school, friendships change, she probably wasn't invited, no big deal, we'll do something fun or invite Amy over for a birthday play date, or something like that.  I would *never* call another parent and ask why my daughter wasn't invited to something.  That's so rude.[/quote]

If these kids are really best friends (or have been historically), it seems totally plausible that (1) she thought it was an actual oversight/they somehow didn't get the invite or (2) that she thought the story Sara heard from Amy didn't make a lot of sense and thought she was better off getting out ahead of this. If she asked about this on DCUM, people would totally be like "reach out to Amy's mom in a non-judgmental way just to get the right info." I'm not saying Sara's mom did it the *right* way, I have no idea what she said... but I don't think the idea of calling over when we're dealing w/ 10-11 year olds (I'm assuming these are probably 5th graders from the OP's description) is weird at all.
