Dear Dáithí,

A couple of months ago, a group of girls in my daughter’s class had a sleepover as part of a birthday party. My daughter was invited, but my husband did not want her to go, he felt she was too young. They are in fifth class, my daughter is nine. I didn’t push him on it, she didn’t seem too upset by it, she went to the activity part of the party but didn’t do the sleepover part. Since then, the group have gone to the cinema and organised another sleepover without asking my daughter. She is being totally left out.
