[quote=Anonymous]Hmm, it sounds like this may be a troll post. On the off chance it's not, I can share that something very similar happened to my son, who's now 11yo. We showed up at the neighborhood pool one afternoon and there was a party in full swing with 20 kids from his class. It's a bigger school, and he's not super close with the birthday kid, but a bunch of kids he is pretty friendly with were there. I felt incredibly awkward and thought about just leaving. My son is not super popular, and I felt totally embarrassed that he wasn't invited and yet there we were.

The amazing thing was he didn't seem to care in the least, and none of the other boys made much about it either from what I could tell. They all played together for a while and it was fine. I did try to drag him away before they started in on pizza and cake, but otherwise just let him be. Maybe it's the difference between girls and boys - almost surely - but it's also a lesson in not letting your feelings of outrage contribute to your daughter's reaction. [/quote]
