[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents should teach their kids not to talk about things like parties at school. When I was a kid (in this area) I was raised to believe that was common politeness, as were my friends.

And OP you need to teach your daughter that it's OK for there to be events not everyone is invited to and that it's OK for people to pick their friends. Yes it might sting at times but it's going to be happening for the rest of her life so she should probably start dealing with it now.

The left out kids might have a smaller circle of friends, but that doesn't make it a less meaningful circle. My kids are often the left out ones.[/quote]
+1 we have told are kids since they were tiny that they are absolutely not to be talking about parties at school, that is it so rude to speak about invitation-only events around others who may or may not be invited. That being said, it’s good to point out to your child times when they have socialized with only a few friends for logistical reasons (“remember when we took Jackie to get Boba after ballet? That was so much fun and a special treat for you and her. Did it make you love Caroline less because you didn’t call her to join? Of course not! Sometimes we can’t fit everyone we love into the car or invite everyone to the movie because there are so many friends we care about!”).[/quote]
