[ - ] I need to vent. DD is in ninth grade and tonight some girls from her school which she feels she is good friends with (They've slept over at our house, they talk on the phone a good bit, ext.) at school threw a party and didn't invite her. The weird thing is is that they invited around a third of their grade, including people that they're not close with at all and excluding DD. Her feelings are really hurt by this and she was crying saying that now she doesn't feel like she has friends. She says that she's too embarrassed to approach the girls and ask why she wasn't invited. She came from a public K-8 which she had been at since kindergarten and she's had a rough time at integrating herself into a friend group, because most of the girls have been at the school since kindergarten or fourth grade and have spent more time developing friendships with each other. I feel very hurt myself. Any advice? Anyone BTDT? 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Can you get a job or make a concerted effort to make mom friends? I've had both roles and really liked both. I was lucky to be asked to join a playgroup that turned out to be not only mom friends but parent friends. One of the big benefits of Asia is that virtually everyone has live-in help so couples can socialize w friends at night regularly. Are you a member of a club? If so, moms from DCs classes or school to join you for swimming or playground/playroom time -- am easy way to host and meet people without making a big to do about having them over before you really become friends.
