[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MYOB. This is MS. Time for adults to stop social engineering. A kid who gets a pity invite will be ignored the entire time and the host will explain to desired guests “My mom MADE me invite her.”[/quote]
Agree with this.  The girls will also (unfortunately) text behind girl B's back about it.[/quote]

Only if YOU let them. You should be looking at texts and SM at this age. If not, you are failing as a parent. [/quote]

Disagree. Middle school is old enough to know right from wrong. There’s no way these kids don’t know they’re being asshats. They need to figure this stuff out on their own from here on out.  A parent telling you you’re being a jerk doesn’t go nearly as far as other kids letting you know, and feeling the fallout of your actions. [/quote]

I have a middle school girl, and I think sometimes they know when they’re asshats and sometimes they’re so egocentric and worried about their own popularity that they truly don’t realize that they’ve hurt someone. I do think the OP should say something. [b]Kid B is going to show up uninvited and that’s mortifying[/b]! [/quote]

You’ve misread. She’s not going to show up at all. The girls aren’t talking about Halloween plans in front of her. She doesn’t know the rest of the group is going to a party at A’s house and she’s not invited.

I think the most likely scenario is on Thursday or Friday she asks one of the group members about planning something for Halloween and then the other girl gets all awkward or says “I’m going to A’s party.” [/quote]
