My friends had a mother/daughter play date

Celice:

The one other friend who has a son doesn't particularly like boys, and she's quick to tell me how much her own child disgusts her. Her daughter got a Hannah Montanna birthday, with a jumping castle, expensive gifts the works. Her son? He got an afterthought of a quick barbeque at home on a Sunday afternoon with no friends invited and no gifts. Now she makes me sick.

What a bitch! I can't stand women like this- ugh!

My sister did this same thing to me in February when my niece turned six. Only, we were invited and it was all princesses and frigging tea cups. She made up little teacups full of treats for the girls, but didn't make one for my son! I was pissed off to the third degree. She couldn't even make a simple goody bag with treats in it for him. My poor little guy had to sit there and watch the little girls play and eat treats and all he got was a cupcake and some cheetos! The thought, even now still, makes me want to cry.

Why in the world would your sister treat her own nephew like that??? Did you tell her how much it hurt you? If that was my sister I would have had it out with her at the party (not in front of the kids of course)!!!

 I'm so sorry your, "friends" did this.  I have several friends with all girls and they do this sort of stuff, BUT I have not seen them post pics on FB.  I think that is the real kicker.  To post it on FB, knowing full well that ppl with boys were excluded, and it sounds like you are one of the moms that is normally in the group.  I've had a few situation where friends have gone on GNO and I haven't been invited.  It hurts when you are left out and for those of us who already suffer from GD and then are purposely left out of activities like this is REALLY hurts. {{{HUGS}}}

As a Mommy of all Daughters I just wanted to say how unthoughtful and rude this was.

I would never do such a thing, my dear friend has two Sons and has had quite a few tea parties at my house. We all have more fun when the boys are included too. They really missed out boys are great ((HUGS))

This makes me happy!  If I had daughters I would want them to have 'boy experiences' like fort building, camping and fishing.

I want my boys to have tea parties, play house and learn to cook.  Not only does it make them more well-rounded but they should know how to play and interact with the opposite sex.

Narrow-minded friends like yours, Smommy, make that impossible.

My God that poor boy! I'd adopt him if I could! :(

Not all all girl moms are like that..some of them are just awesome to make sure boys get treated specially...l'm sure you're one . But it does seem like on here the posters are making it seem that moms with all girls are smug and happy to not have boys...honestly there are some who do and needs to get some sense knocked into them, but NOT ALL of them! There are all girl moms who are wishing for a son on here! Proof . And I agree it's soooo much fun when both boys and girls are included...I don't get some people who just care for one gender and not the other..

 Okay I don't want to hijack your post with my rampage.. but...  I think there might be something psychologically wrong with your friends. Seriously. Not to be mean, but it really does sound like they (or at least the main offenders) are trying to jab you.  You may want to consider finding some new friends. 

 What is up with all this princess stuff?  I am a girl.  I was a little girl once and I don't know whether it was the way I was raised or what.. but there weren't too many princesses in my life. I think that people do their daughters a disservice by instilling too much princess crap in their minds (by the same token I think people do a disservice to their boys by instilling too much violence crap in their lives).  Come on, really... a tea party of princesses that excludes friends based on gender?  What's next... one that excludes children based on race?  Let's get back to the princess topic.  Filling minds full of that nosense is not going to create capable, independent women.  I know a lot of "princess" types that are still single or in a bad relationship with the "bad boy" prince charming. Get a grip. Sounds like some moms are trying to live vicariously through their daughters.  Not too worry, it will come back to bite them in the ass.  

 

disclaimer:  I'm not saying princess tea parties are bad... but the ones that are purposefully hurtful are.  

Everyday, applause applause for your post!

Yes there was NEVER any of this princess stuff when I was little!  I guess it's because the marketers of the disney princess stuff discovered they could be making big beaucoup bucks !   And your statement about moms living vicariously through their daughters reminds me of the show they have on (and I think there are a few versions of it) called Toddlers and Tiaras.  And there is another show I haven't watched called Divas and Daughters - I guess it is about women raising their daughters to be as shallow and materialistic as they are... 

Why is it that girls are royalty now and boys are just .... boys???

I totally agree. As a mom of an "older" girl, we didn't even have that much princess crap when DD was little! It's like it springs up overnight! Yuck!

I can tell you it is rude to not include you and your boys, period. We don't even do "girls day out" stuff with my mom (grandma) because we don't want to leave out my nephew, her other grandchild! It's more fun when everyone's included, I don't care what it is. Some pp said it's like if you have a wine party and don't invite a friend that loves wine. Well, I think it's even more like if you have a wine party and don't invite the friend that doesn't drink. I always invite my non-drinking friend to our martini nights and everything because guess what, even though she doesn't drink, she's a person and likes to socialize! She can drink ginger ale at my wine party, I don't care. I would never leave someone out because they're different from me. Hello, I'm not in jr high! geez. How rude.

I agree...it's the marketing that's doing this. Anyway, in some ways I don't think you should feel bad S'mommy and whoever else who went through that because it may seem like they are living the perfect life now...but later on I can guarantee that your "friends" with all daughters and are acting like that are going to be crying when their prissy brats become severly corrupted due to what was fed to them, while you'll be raising really mature sons and daughters. It's not bad to do these princess things ONCE in a while, but putting it in a context where someone's feelings will be hurt and constantly doing it to give your DDs the impression that THIS is more important than anything else is going result in severe consequences. Plus it probably was a pretty boring playdate anyway, since some friends were not invited. Just my

When I was little I was playing with my 2 brothers (twins) that are 1 year younger than me. We always played together with my girl toys and their boy toys.We learned how to cook together and did everything together. Now they are 21 and can do everything in the house ,laundry ,cooking, cleaning -if my mom would let them only do the boy jobs and play boy toys they wouldn't grew up for nice ,helpful guys. I have 2 sons and am going to have a girl now and I am going to let them play whit whatever they want to and how they want to . And I will buy pink ,but not like my friend, that her daughter has only pink toys, pink clothes and pink room, pink bedding and everything pink.

Just wanted to say I'm sorry you had to witness such insensitivity.  It does hurt to be excluded, especially when the reason is out of your control.  I have a friend with 2 DDs that is always excluding boys from their parties, playdates, etc.  In addition, she is constantly bragging about what all girl/ princess thing her girls are doing whether it is cheerleading, seeing an all girl movie or dressing up like Hanna Montana and dancing.  The amazing thing is that she does this in the company of myself and another mom who only have boys.  She is clearly trying to make us jealous, so that she can feel better about her unhappy marriage and lack of a son.  Lets just say I don't hang out with this "friend" anymore.  This may be rude and immature of me to say, but EVERY time we do get together with her and her DDs they are whiney, pouty and unsocial.  She always makes excuses for them, but meanwhile our son's are playing happily with the other girls and boys with no problems.  Those visits always gave me so much satisfaction.  

I hope you find a way to let this go, these women aren't worth the energy.     

Woe, how unbelievably rude!!!!  For my dd's 4th bday she really wanted a princess party and Sleeping Beauty came and my son, nephews and bff's son were included and I made CERTAIN they had a good time too.  The girls got tiaras and wands and the boys got crowns and swords!  The craft was to decorate your tiara/crown and I made sure there were other colors to use besides pink and not just girly stickers etc as well.  It isnt that freakin hard to consider the opposite gender!!!!  People are RIDICULOUS!

Oh hell no that was just nasty!! I am sorry they have hurt you. They could have at least invited you and let you decide if you even wanted to go!!

 

This reminds me of something that happened to me last year. I was over a friends house with another lady and they where talking about their “mother & daughters night” they were going to have. It was awful to have to sit there and listen to them. Well, a few night before their mother & daughters night I got an text invite saying they know I don’t have a daughter but though I might like to come anyway and see the princess movie. I did end up going because I DID want to see the movie. As it turns out I had a freaking awesome time!! WHY?? Because I got to watch the movie unlike the other ladies who were chasing their girls around the cinema the entire time because they wouldn’t sit down!! The girls were running all over the place and down in front of the screen also. LOL it was great for me!! The little girls were SO naughty and down right little shits!!! I had to hide my amusement Other people in the cinema were getting really annoyed though!

I get mad too when my friends have things for their girls only. Its like a club that you want to be in and might never get to be in.

 

I find these tea party set that would be great for boys its called curious george tea party.
