[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Presumably the reason to mention it to the other mom would be to (1) let her know, politely, that you/your son/her son found out that she excluded your son and then lied about it to her son (assuming that's what happened), and (2) possibly shame her into not doing that next time, preferably by inviting him. These both seem like reasonable goals to me, especially #2. And, what do you have to lose if she is already excluding your kid. I would definitely do it in a polite, "playing dumb" way, like by saying (or emailing) "Hi! It looks like there was some snafu about Larlo's birthday party inviation--DS told me that Larlo told him we had declined the invitation to his party, but unfortunately we didn't get one. Let me give you my email address/address again to make sure you have it."  [/quote]

I would let the entire thing go if it wasn't for the mom lying about it. No way will I let her slide - she hurt my son and I can deal with that - but the fact that she lied and made it look like it was us? No way. I'd almost stoop low enough to let her son know that we never got an invitation. [/quote]

This.  I would send the mom an email asking her not to put you in a situation again in which you look like the bad guy with your own child when she was the one who excluded him.  If she doesn't want to invite your son, fine.  If the bday boy doesn't want to invite your son, fine.  But her lie has put you in a bad position and that's really just unfair to you.[/quote]
