Children don't understand why they're being excluded - they just know everyone but them is having a good time. One mum has shared her heartache after her daughter was uninvited from her classmate's birthday party over a "petty drama" on the school playground.
Taking to Mumsnet, the woman explained how her 10-year-old daughter was excited to attend her friend's Harry Potter-themed party - but now doesn't know how to explain to her that she's no longer welcome to attend. She said: "My daughter was invited to a party - Harry Potter World. The tickets are booked they are going next week.

"There was a bit of petty drama yesterday with a 'he said, she said' but they seemed to have sorted it out.
"The birthday child came to my house today and was all laughs and giggles with my daughter."
The mum went on to explain how she dropped the birthday child off at her gymnastic class to do her mum a favour - but received an odd text from her an hour later.
She added: "I got a message saying her daughter wants to uninvite mine as she was crying.
"This child was absolutely fine when she was at my house so I was very confused.
"I feel very hurt and p***ed at the mum and her daughter for so meanly uninviting mine to the party.

"Personally, I would never uninvite someone unless things were seriously bad between them. But for a 'she said, he said', I'm p***ed."
While most users agreed that her daughter shouldn't have been uninvited from the party, others urged her to stop doing the mum favours because she's "clearly taking advantage of you".
One user said: "That is awful. Like you, I wouldn't dream of doing that. But some people are just awful.
"I would ask her to explain why as her daughter had a great time at yours. But I probably wouldn't want my daughter to go now anyway."
Another user added: "I wonder if they are a ticket short and this is an excuse.
"Whatever the reason it's a horrible thing to do to a child and unless your daughter had been mean to the girl I think its pretty spiteful.
"I'd certainly be stopping the favours."
A third user said: "Well it would be the last time I dropped the girl at her gymnastics class or had her over after school for a start.
"The mother doesn't sound very switched on.
"I'd be keeping my daughter away from them as much as possible and certainly not having anything to do with them outside of school."
One more user added: "Wow, it's really rude to uninvite someone!
"Once you tell your daughter, I don't think there's any coming back from it. They'll end up finishing the friendship."
