[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s cringey what pp sait but also probably true.

I have two kids - 8th and 10th. The 8th grader has a tight small group and leaving out one kid would be mean and deliberate.

My 10th grader is popular and has so many circles of friends, with a lot of overlap. She has her right inner circle but I could totally see one of the outer circle kids getting missed. Parents of less social kids may not realize they aren’t inner circle….they just see that most of their kids socializing is with certain kids, but that doesn’t always mean that is their close friend, it’s just a kid like mine who invites a lot.

My 10th grader has a lot of annoying qualities and can be very dramatic but one of her best qualities is that she’s very inclusive and “more the merrier”. She recently had a 16th birthday party that grew very large and her list of people who couldn’t come was very short and very specific (ex boyfriend, 2 former friends who screwed her over, and one kinda friend who drinks too much at parties). Anyone who didn’t come but is her friend or sorta friend just didn’t ask her and she might have just assumed they were coming or knew. Trust me, after Saturday I wish she was a little less welcoming. So maybe there wasn’t a formal invite and it’s not some mean girls plot.[/quote]

You are still that involved in your 8th and 10th graders friend groups?  Weird.[/quote]

Who said I was involved? I mean other than my kids carry on conversations with me and all that. Sorry yours don’t talk to you about their relationships and lives? [/quote]

There’s no need to apologize. I have an 8th and 10th grader as well. Girls are talkative and often share their feelings, school gossip, worries with their mothers. I often drive my eldest and her friends, and they seem to forget I’m even there. I hear everything.  [/quote]
