[quote=Anonymous]DS’s classmate apparently had a very fun party at his house over the weekend that DS did not attend. The birthday boy came up to DS on Monday asking why DS didn’t show up. The boy and a few other friends who were there at the time said that they all asked about DS at the party and boy’s mom told them that DS was invited but DS turned down the invite. This is untrue. He was never invited.

DS, 9, said he had no clue there even was party until the boy sought him out to ask him the question. I trust the veracity of his account of what happened. I have no problem with his not being invited. DS has ADHD and some behaviors, which are pretty mild at this point and all at school, but I completely understand if a parent would be nervous about hosting him. The issue I’m facing is that DS was pretty upset with me because he believes I turned down the invite without asking him. I’m not sure what to say. Part of me wants to tell him that sometimes people get in awkward situations and make up excuses that aren’t true. But then I think that I don’t want to get into all of that especially since his feelings would be hurt at not being invited and he might repeat all this back to his friend which would not endear our family to the boy’s mother who already seems to have some negative opinions.

I realize this is a nothing problem in the grand scheme of things but I hate that DS is upset with me.
