[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's wrong, OP, and anti-social. Don't let these DCUM posters who only invite "A" list kids to their kids' parties tell you any differently. It's sad when grown people seek to justify their exclusionary behavior and pass these values on to their kids. I would ask the parents who excluded my kid if there's something about him or her that the other kids don't like. That, or I'd take a good hard look at who my kid thinks is his or her best friend.

I can't stand this sort of exclusionary behavior. It starts here and continues into adulthood. People are always seeking ways to make themselves seem better than others.[/quote]

Are you friendly with one of the mom's? If you are, I would just ask. Explain just what you've explained to us. Since it's happened so many times, I have to admit it would bother me too.

some years there are lots of invites, other years just a few. And while I would be nice if no one was excluded, that's not quite realistic. Everyone gets a turn at being excluded and it teaches life lessons. Do keep perspective, keep being positive with your son, and for sure schedule more  play dates.[/quote]
