why do some teenage girls have to turn a lovely event like a birthday party into a major drama?
so my dd Jen is planning her sweet 16 party. we're not doing "My Super Sweet 16", but we're doing a nice party, a lot of kids, lots of food, etc. she invited a lot of girls from her cheerleading squad.
so she's been talking about the party at practice for awhile now.
there's another girl on the squad planning a sweet 16. this girl has been invited to Jen's part, and RSVP'd that she's coming. for weeks the other girl has been sharing the details of her own party with Jen, and telling Jen "of course you're invited to my party." the other girl's party is four days after Jen's party. then a few days ago the other girl told Jen "I don't know if I'm having a party after all. I got into trouble and I don't know if my mom is going to mail the invitations."
there was a football game today, and the girls were there to cheer. Jen hurt her ankle earlier this week, so she had to sit out, but went to the game anyhow to support the squad. and she noticed two of the cheerleaders (the other "sweet 16" was one of them) obviously talking about her -- a lot of pointing and whispering.
so Jen asked around, and found out that the invitations to the other girl's party were mailed out over a week ago. and Jen is not inivted to the party.
Jen is well aware that she's not going to be invited to every party. but she invited the other girl to her party, the other girl is coming to her party, the other girl repeatedly told Jen that she'd be invited to the other girl's party, then lied to Jen...it just was not a nice thing to do.
my daugher would very much like to uninvite the other girl...but won't do that, of course. still...she's very hurt and upset.
