[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see the issue. Several kids weren’t invited. It’s an expensive event. It could be a bday party, bat mitzvah, to go on a group outing to a dance, to go to a beach trip with a group of friends, to a wedding, to join a club in college, etc. kids and adults are sometimes not included. We aren’t having bar or bat mitzvahs, our kids have been invited to some and not to others, and it’s just the way it goes. I don’t really like the message a shirt sends to others but have no problem when only some kids are invited. If you have temple friends, elemenTary school friends, middle school friends, camp friends, neighborhood friends, siblings, club friends, extracurrucar activity friends, etc - I see no reason a family should invite kids who their kid is t that close with.

OP here again- One of the things DD said when she first learned of the event was, "Well, I guess I'm not as close to her as I thought I was." They've been classmates for two+ years, have attended parties together and have eaten lunch together. DD is not the type to hold grudges but this will certainly change the way she views the girl. DD doesn't feel that she's entitled to an invitation but she felt sad that she didn't receive one.[/quote]

None of that indicates they are close. You mention no sleepovers, no play dates, no hanging out. Your kid was one of lots of classmates this girl has had. Essentially they’ve eaten lunch together and attended some of the same parties. I think you should have asked why your child felt close to this girl. [/quote]

No offense but your opinion of their closeness is irrelevant. (NP here). I'm not sure what your comment added to this discussion.

The OPs DD felt hurt, rightly or not, and handled it well. [/quote]
