Boys can be mean too, in different ways, and of course he's learned the hard way that most middle school girls are not going to be his friend. It is so sad, and I hate that your daughters party ended like that. It is a hard lesson, but I think once they learn it and realize who their friends are, they're better off. I have to tell my son all the time, you're lucky to have a couple really true friends.<br /><br />It sounds like a wonderful party and such pretty decorations. I hope she's feeling better about everything.Sherihttp://www.unexpectedbliss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563650807041807078.post-8464443557413765622009-07-09T09:30:29.948-04:002009-07-09T09:30:29.948-04:00Stopping by from SITS.

At least your daughter now knows who her true friends are (which is a very good thing to know.) As the mom of a 15 year old girl, I empathize with you.

I can remember this kind of stuff from when I was in school and it makes me feel relief sometimes that I have all boys.<br /><br />I can't keep my mouth shut and would have pulled out some sort of lesson about friendship and my kid would have been rolling her eyes for me to shut up. I do think I would have asked the boy to leave and ushered them all inside. It was such a cool party, too! Did she remember any good parts, or was the whole thing ruined?Jennifer Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087072033452320694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563650807041807078.post-84405956492495618922009-07-08T23:20:21.171-04:002009-07-08T23:20:21.171-04:00Nothing like sneaky girls wanting to impress a boy...Nothing like sneaky girls wanting to impress a boy and a boy encouraging the girls. Middle school is horrible. I bet if you looked at the girls' moms you would find a couple who still act the same way.<br />My last thought is why in the world is it ok for 13 year old girls to think it's cool to be on the phone during a party.

He had horrible self-esteem trouble...middle school is just the WORST. <br />For his 13th, I took him and 3 friends to the bowling alley for the cosmic bowling session. It was fairly expensive for a b-day party for 4 kids....and after 20 minutes of the two-hr bowling session, the friends all changed their shoes and left my son bowling by himself. I found the other boys playing video games, my son was so upset. Horrible situation...but I went and got the boys and let them know that they were being very rude and inconsiderate and they KNEW it was a bowling party, they KNEW it was a 2 hr bowling session and they were not being good friends. They were not happy with me, my son was slightly embarassed, but after they all got over it, they did bowl some more with him and he had a good time the rest of the night.<br /><br />Kids are mean!!!!Lifeofkaylenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470854343779969623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563650807041807078.post-68340129428660149542009-07-08T22:12:39.446-04:002009-07-08T22:12:39.446-04:00Oh gosh - the teen girl drama.

Really, those years are supposed to be the hardest for girls. Their hormones kick in and their bodies changes in so many ways while their personalities also change. She needs to find a few, and I mean a few good friends, then she should be involved in SO MANY ACTIVITIES that she is exhausted. Several reasons...she will be too tired to get into trouble -- if she is shunned by one or two girls, she will have so many other girl "friends" that it won't matter so much -- it will help develop her personality. Whew...sorry I wrote so much. I lived through those teeter totter years with Alyssa and know how hard they are for the girls. Good luck.<br /><br />Stopping by from SITS today!The Redhead Riterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146525055317050737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563650807041807078.post-19173163295442886352009-07-08T16:40:43.918-04:002009-07-08T16:40:43.918-04:00I don't want to have children anymore!!! :-( ...I don't want to have children anymore!!! :-( just kidding. Since I don't have kids, this brought back memories from junior high. I think we all go through it and as the adult, you were a lot nicer than I would have been....I think the party was very nice and it sounded awesome!!! It's just that age...kids are jerks and girls ditch their friends to hang out with boys. Plus, they're all obsessed with being "cool" (or whatever they call it now) which usually means being a jerk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563650807041807078.post-42794718435016908222009-07-08T14:01:35.456-04:002009-07-08T14:01:35.456-04:00What happens to kids once they hit middle school? ...What happens to kids once they hit middle school? Some of my son's good friends from elementary school have decided that my son "is not cool" enough for them to hang out with anymore. I hear that girl cliques and politics can be worse. I'm sorry that this had to put such a damper on your daughter's party. I'm glad that she has good, supportive friends that she can rely on. I think it's terrible how mean kids can be. I could probably vent on and on about this in your comments. You threw your daughter a wonderful birthday party. Your daughter and her friends are sweethearts for cleaning up that mess too. You did a good job Mama!septembermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570525910483384484noreply@blogger.com
