DD has had birthday parties for the past 2 years and we have always invited ALL of the girls in her Brownie troop( about 9 girls). However, there is one girl who has come to both of DD's parties yet has never invited DD to hers. This is the second year in a row and DD has hurt feelings.DD and this girl arent buddy buddy but they get along fine.
This year she said she does not want to invite this particular girl to her party because she doesnt think its fair that she never gets invited to hers.
You know, I tend to agree, but at the same time I dont want her to be spiteful like that. However, why should I force her to invite her?
Unfortunately, there is alot of "elitist" attitude in my area, "Im better than you type attitude" and I have a feeling that DD not getting invited has nothing to do with her and has to do with me not being in the "inner circle" with the childs mother.
But you cant explain that to a 7 year old!
