Thanks ladies, for responding so fast. That's exactly it; I just want what's best for her. I don't want her being cast out or punished for anything that has to do with me, ever!

I know there will be cliques everywhere - this is a small place, sooo many of these people went to school with each other, are related, etc., and have known each other for years. I'm like the new girl. I try to be friendly without being "desparate friendly" but I really just get shut down. I remember thinking when she was starting school that the social atmosphere for me would be like starting high school again. I was popular in high school, but I didn't want to revisit it, if you get my drift.

My daughter loves her teacher, loves the school - they've been exceptionally supportive with my husband's cancer last year - and she loves her classmates. Her teacher adores her and I will say that she may favor her a little bit, because my sister-in-law taught with her last year and took my daughter to class with her several times while I was with my husband while he went for chemo.

So maybe I should just wait a few months, see what happens with invitations and so on, and then decide. Or maybe its ridiculous to entertain pulling her from a school because she's not invited to parties! My husband wants nothing to do with all the nonsense; he immediately said he has no problem pulling her from that atmosphere. I'm so mixed up about it; I have to give myself a few days to calm down.
