[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't even get invited to play dates or birthday parties. people don't even think how hurtful that is! As far as sitters... we haven't had one in nearly two and a half years... Since we moved to our new neighborhood and away from our familiar sitter. :/[/quote]

Yup, when my oldest was in 1st grade he was invited to zero parties.  However, when he had his and invited all the boys in his class, all came but one and all parents dropped off- they seemed to think of it as inexpensive babysitting.  [/quote]

Ouch. I really don't understand why its so hard for people to reciprocate.   :cry: [/quote]

This happened to us in K (ds invited the whole class (29 kids) to a party at our house-November birthday. Was not invited to a party or playdate the entire year. (Yes, we had several kids over for playdates). Quit having parties after that b/c ds always asked when "john's" party was etc.

think most people mean well, honestly, but they will tell their kid "pick 5 friends" for a party, and if your kid is at the bottom socially, he is never one of the top 5. At least that's what I tell myself.

Yeah, I know the thing now is for parents to say "small parties", and only spoiled kids have big parties, but it sucks if your kid doesn't have a particular group.  Even my NT kid (who is a little quirky, granted) has a fair number of friends, but is not super-tight with anyone in particular.  She's had a number of experiences now where friends tell her that they're only having X people for their party, so couldn't include her.  [/quote]
