[quote=Anonymous][quote]They are 8 years old. Yes, mom should try her best to fix things. If it happened to my son and he was upset over it, I'd invite the two other boys, get them each a fun lego kit to do and make a party of it. And, yes, if you have someone over its polite to feed them all.

As a mom, if my kid got this invite to a "left out kids makeup party" I would be weirded out. It's so... I don't know. Barefaced patronizing? My kid doesn't need pity because she doesn't get invited to a sleepover, especially not an over the top pity party invite complete with presents. Thrown by a kid she may interact with almost never at school and only shares a commonality of being uninvited to the same party. I'm really surprised some of you don't see how odd this is. [/quote]

Not PP, and I definitely wouldn't host such a party myself, but if my son got invited to someone else's "pity party" he'd probably go and make a good time out of it.  He's not especially popular because he's unathletic and a bit nerdy, but he's a friendly kid and can get along with most of the kids in his class.  He would definitely think of it along the lines of "I'll see Bob and Jim from school and do some legos" vs. anything deeper.  [/quote]
