[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10 girls in the class. My daughter was one of three not invited. Four additional girls from other classes were invited. 
The mom and I are friendly. My daughter of course heard about it at school and her feelings were hurt. I think it was rude to leave out just three. What do you think? [/quote]

I think it's crappy and bad manners to invite 7/10 girls in a class to a party- particularly when it's a certainty that they will be talking about the party at school in front of the much smaller number of girls who weren't invited. Unfortunately, people can be thoughtless. 
I wouldn't make a big deal out of it to your daughter or try to make it up to her- if you see it as a crisis, she will see it as one too. Just explain that you're sorry it happened, agree that it's crummy, and move her forward building other friendships and connections. [/quote]

So you are teaching her that this girl is no longer her friend and to move on from her?  Are kids not allowed have more friends than they invite to a sleepover?   I am shocked at some of you moms. Sad [/quote]

pp here- not what I meant-- but that's okay too. If my friend invited 70% of the girls in my class to my party, but not me-- she's not really my friend, right? Teqch some self respect and find better friends. [/quote]
