[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has been in daycare since she was 8 weeks old, so I'm not a newbie, but we switched centers and this new preschool is crazy. They are 3 years old, and there are 4 girls in the class who are definitely a clique. That's fine, but we went to one of their bday parties this weekend and all 4, plus their moms, were in matching outfits. So of course they are all taking pics together, leaving my DD out, which did suck. They seem to hang out every weekend and at the party were talking about everyone coming over to swim afterwards (we weren't invited). On the way home, my DD was asking if we were going to Larla's house to swim... I had to say no and we got ice cream.

I'm a confident, high earning 30 year old and I can't believe I'm feeling weirdly insecure about this! I get that it's hard to break into an established group of friends, but at THREE years old shouldnt everyone be included? [/quote]

Not sure why you are upset. Perhaps they are close friends who spend lots of time together and they want to stay in the same group. I am sure you have close friends too, OP. When you go out together do you socialize within your group? You do not feel obligated to include everyone around you, do you?
This is a valuable lesson for your daughter, she will not always be included nor should she be. She needs to find her circle of friends.

Its rude and upsetting that grown women go out of their way to exclude people at kids birthday party.  I have a close group of friends and I can assure you we have never dressed alike or matched with our kids.   This makes me thankful to live in our tranisitioning neigbhorhood and attend a title 1 school.  No one has time for this nonsense.   I am assuming these same women also are sucked into MLM "businesses" too? thats huge in the exurbs but not in DC.[/quote]
