[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It bothered me in K. We were at a focus school and to be honest I just don’t think many kids had parties. Myfriends kids at a wealthier school were always getting invited to parties. [/quote]

Op here. We are at a [b]wealthy public school[/b]. Our preschool had parties all the time. The preschool moms would start all class text chains and coordinate meetups at the playground and we were constantly invited to birthday parties. [/quote]

I think this is the issue. Not an issue...but your expectations are your child goes to a wealthy school with a bunch of UMC friends who you either know or assume are having parties all the time, therefore, you should always be invited.  This isn't preschool anymore.  The expectation of lots of playdates and whole class parties drops off once your child enters elementary school.  It shouldn't feel like a personal dig if another kid in class has a birthday party and invites 4 friends and your child isn't one.  How do you even know in the first place?  But you need to stop taking it personally and teach your child to do the same.
