Well, my daughter is turning 7 in October and for some reason I'm really nervous...We have been here in NZ for almost a year, and she has settled in so well Im so proud of her, she has made a few friends which is awesome, but she wants a party for her birthday so we are having a pizza party at a local restaurant and she can invite up to 20 of her friends, this is where the problem lies im really nervous that not many will want to come, she still is the new girl and a lot of the mums and dads and children know each other really well and over the last few weeks there has been lots of parties and she hasn't been invited, and i understand why, shes new, there are a limited amount of children at parties etc..but i worry she doesn't understand, school friends is all she has here in NZ, all her cousins and our friends with children are still in the uk, and if i was there now i know it would be a full house.I know this sounds silly, but its been on my mind for a while, my husband rightly said its not the amount of friends but the quality, and my kiwi mum friend laughed and said people don't say no to have 2 hrs child free lol...but it still is in the back of my mind, i think its a more of a guilt thing as we took her from her friends and family and she was the popular one at school, and at the moment she has us and not many others she seems to like the library instead of getting out and making friends, as long as shes happy im happy but i just can help to wonder if she really is happy.Well it feels good just to write that down...
