Even if it's a "playdate" for FAC with margaritas. Why weren't we invited? stapletonians.blogspot.com I’m a Stapleton mom and I’ve started having dreams about the girls in junior high again — you’re right, the playdates (especially in a neighborhood like Stapleton) really get to me if we’re the ones left out!

Sadly I don't think my parents were ever aware of any of them. I am very sensitive about this with my children though I try not to step in too much. But you can bet that if one of my kids gets snubbed by a thoughtless person that they get an ice cream cone and a chance to talk about it. And you can bet even more that I make sure my children know that they are never to make anyone else feel that way either. Um, yeah, I obviously still have issues with being "dumped". =) I have many issues like that from my past. Sadly I don’t think my parents were ever aware of any of them.

As a parent, you want nothing more than to see them make friends and lead a happy life! This one hit me right in the heart because I have a little gal who has problems fitting in.

We came home from a playdate once, and my (at the time) 3 yr old told me sadly that he was too small and stupid. There were two other boys there, both about 6 months older than him. It turns out that when they ran to the other room to play, my son had been either ignored or threatened with blunt toys. To hear him repeat what (I assume) they said to him still hurts when I remember it. I think rejection hurts worse when I see my kids face it.

The surprise of loving someone and seeing that creulty is in their bag of tricks is breathtaking. Eventually one comes to terms with it. Rejection gets easier.
