[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of this is just people starting to do smaller parties as their kids get older (we only did whole class parties in preschool). The other part is parents not teaching their children not to talk about parties at school.  Each year, we drill it into our children not to talk about their birthday parties at school, not even with attendees at recess, because other kids may feel bad that they weren't invited. I get the feeling most parents don't talk to their kids about this.

We also tell our children that you can't be BFFs with everyone and you won't get invited to every party. It doesn't mean that this person isn't your friend or that they are a mean person, it just means they had a small party, and remind them about how they only invited 4 kids to their party last year....[/quote]

The girl specifically told DD and another child they were not invited to her party. I’m not sure if only 2 from the table or 2 from the class were not invited. DD said it made her feel bad. I told her the girl was rude to say that and DD said it wasn’t nice to say mean things about the girl. My DD is such a sweetheart.

I mentioned her birthday and what kind of party she wanted and she said she wanted a big party. I asked if she wanted invite the whole class including the girl and she said yes.[/quote]
