[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I have 3 kids and for my older kids, they always invited all the boys in their class. Even when my son said he never talked to said boy, we still invited him.

I don’t know if it is a boy vs girl thing but I have never heard my boys mention not being invited to a party. I’m sure there were many parties they weren’t invited to but they never told me. DD talks to me a lot and tells me her disappointment.[/quote]

It’s hard to see your child upset, but this  is a good opportunity for her to start building resilience and coping with feelings of disappointment and not being included.

I actually loved that she still said she would invite the girl with the rest of the class even if she wasn’t nice and didn’t invite her. Not inviting is fine and may still have hurt DD’s feelings but the girl singled out DD and another child and told them that she didn’t invite them. This is the difference. [/quote]

Yes, OP should be so proud of her kid's generosity in the face of a slight. That other kid is likely a sad/lacking in confidence child. OP's kid seems to have her head on straight. [/quote]

It comes from the parents. I once heard of a mom who invited all the girls in the class for a birthday party. A boy in the class was upset that he wasn’t invited. When the boy had a party, the mom invited the entire class and did not invite the girl. When the girl mom asked about it thinking it was an error, the boy mom said there was no error.[/quote]
