[quote=Anonymous]This happened to my daughter almost 10 years ago, and I still feel angry and hurt by it. I invited the "friend" and her daughter to my daughter's birthday party a few months after that, but I no longer trusted her, nor did I consider her a true friend. It was so puzzling, and really weird, since we'd had dinner at each other's houses, the kids had playdates frequently, and there was no animosity, no apparent reason for this baffling exclusion. My husband mentioned something to her, and she sort of laughed it off, a little embarrassed, he thought, and said she'd invited too many kids to the party, which was an odd answer.

Later, I found out that this woman made "friends" and dropped them frequently for little perceived slights. I don't know what my "crime" was, but in the end, I know the problem was hers. But it was cruel to exclude my daughter, who was 3 at the time, and DID notice that she wasn't included in the party (it was right across the street from our house, and many of DD's friends were there!). To this day, my daughter remembers that day and how betrayed she felt by it. That's what hurts me most of all about this incident.

To answer your question, OP, yes, I would feel hurt if I were you, but from the experience I've just described, I would assume the problem is this woman, not you. [/quote]
