Dear Dáithí: My daughter has been snubbed for two of her friends' birthday parties... what do I do? 

I thought about texting the mums involved, in case there was a misunderstanding, but I’m not sure that’s the right approach

Dear Dáithí,

My daughter is in primary school and is celebrating her birthday over the summer. She’s into sport and the outdoors, and we booked a party for her at an adventure centre for over the school break.
