Or maybe they do think birthdays are a big deal and didn't invite you because they assumed you wouldn't want to come due to DS's birthday.

Only you know the relationship well enough to know if it's worth bringing up.  But one thing I will point out is that this is about your feelings as much as your kid.  If only your kid were upset, you could bring it up with the parents and explain...but you are feeling excluded as well, so recognize that you'll need to bring that up as well in whatever conversation you have.  Honestly, if you're truly hurt, it might be worth bringing up.  I'm terrible about doing that sort of thing, and a result has been having a lot of friendships sort of fade away.  Maybe right now you're more invested in these relationships than the other participants are; it's okay for that imbalance to exist.  Addressing it might make things feel more on even keel, or confirm that your instincts of feeling excluded are right and make it easier to cleanly move on.  Limbo is a terrible feeling in any relationship; it's the worst in a friendship since it can last for a really long time.[/quote]
