I'd call the mom and say, "Larla has invited my son to her party, but we haven't gotten the details yet."

Yes, I would do it. [/quote][/quote]

Larla is a child.  At that age, they blab about everything and have no boundaries.  You don't call the mom and invite your child to their party.  If she wanted to invite your child, she would have.  You put her in an uncomfortable position of either her being forced to invite your child, that she has concerns about, or saying no which makes things worse.  Your child was not invited.  In life you are not invited to all parties.  Its ok.[/quote]

The uncomfortable position has already been created, and OP didn't create it. She has a child expecting to go to a party because they were verbally invited to it.

Yes, in life you are not invited to all parties, and that's OK. [b] But it's not OK for a child to be told they're invited to a party and then have the invitation withdrawn without explanation. This is the host family's problem to fix --  it was their child that created the awkward situation.  The child may not be responsible for fixing it, but the parents are, more than anyone else in this situation.  [/b]  [/quote]

Parents like you are the reason why some kids don't or soon won't get invited.

Parents send out formal invites not small children.  The child was never officially invited.  Consequently, the real invitation was not withdrawn.  Casual invitations by 1st graders don't count.  [/quote]

Your lawyerly rationale will mean nothing to a child who feels they were invited to a party, and your gratuitous insult of PP doesn't even make sense.[/quote]
