'My girl, 6, was uninvited from pal's birthday and I don't know what to do'
A mum has been left in an odd predicament after her six-year-old daughter was uninvited from a friend's birthday party, despite having been asked to go two months earlier.
The two girls are both in Year 1 and play together at school, despite being in different classes, leading to the little girl being asked to attend her friend's birthday party eight weeks ago. However, after a falling out she has now been asked not to attend the party, leaving her in tears, reports Yorkshire Live.
The girl's mum has been left "upset" and "confused" over the situation and posted in a Netmum's forum 'What would you do?', to ask for some advice from other parents. She penned: "'My daughter comes out of class in tears saying [she] got mad at her for the joke she said (asking if X is her boyfriend because they were goofing together) and uninvited her from the birthday party. She said 'you are uninvited don't come to my party.'
"My daughter was following her for the rest of the day saying sorry, she was excited for the party and when she was told not to come she would definitely be desperate and try to smooth things over, but [she] wouldn't talk to her. Now the situation is extremely awkward as [her] mum might try to cover up and say 'of course she is still invited to the party', but to be honest I absolutely don't want to drop her off there if she's not welcomed.

Mum slammed for cancelling son's birthday party after 'sexist' joke to friends
She added: "We had a few situations with [her] in the past as she's very bossy and when things don't go her way she gets really angry. I'm trying to wait and see if they'll start talking again but if by next week [she] will be still ignoring my daughter then what should I do?
"My husband strictly said she's not going to this party now but to send her mum a straightforward message so it's not like we just didn't turn up without a reason. Any advice what to do?"
The comments section was quickly flooded with responses from fellow parents offering their advice and most people seemed to agree that the best thing to do was to speak to the little girl's mum directly.
One Netmums user said: "I think I would just make contact with her mum, preferably in person. Say they’ve had a falling out and if she does insist your daughter is still invited just be honest and say you’re worried about leaving her and why as you don’t want it to escalate. As much for [her] sake as your daughter's (as it is her birthday after all)."
Another mum said: "They are 6. My daughters fall out and make up with their friends often hourly in school. Just explain to mum and ask her opinion. She may have a word with her and they'll be good friends until the next falling out."
A third said: "It’s still a week to go so I’m sure it will all be forgotten about! That’s the trouble when kids fall out it tends to upset the parents for longer, if however they are still not friends the day before then don’t send her, if you feel awkward then just message the mum after the party apologise for not going and say something like you wasn’t feeling well and no one else was around to bring her!
"I agree it’s an awful situation but I wouldn’t want my child to go somewhere and not feel welcome."
