[quote=Anonymous]Sympathizing OP- my DS10 was not invited to a party that included most/all the boys in his class. He found out about it because naturally all of the boys talked at school, in front of my son, about what fun they had at the party.

I think I was more hurt on my DS's behalf, than he was-- I noted that most of the grudge was mine, so I encouraged him to let it go, and I did the same. We're having a big birthday party for DS in a few months and inviting the entire class. Yikes.

In your case, I would say you didn't get the invitation, perhaps it got lost in the mail. This way, he can blame the mail, not you...and he won't feel the sting of being deliberately left out by the boy's parents.

One thing I do want to say-- my DS has a couple of high maintenance friends that I will not have in combination at my house. It's too much. However, I am very clear that he has to choose when he wants them both (this is for play dates, not parties). I let him know "your friends are great, but no way can I handle the three of you-- Larlo for this day, and Larlo2 for this day-- not together." Tangent, but I'm providing a scenario where a parent may say "uh, uh" out of self preservation. [/quote]
