[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely don’t think my kid was mean to this kid. My kid does have adhd and you can tell and this kid has always been extremely mature and self regulating so I’m sure he just thinks my kid is annoying. I do think kids should be able to invite who they want. But I would personally tell my kid either just ask half the boys or all the boys. These kids have been at school together since they were two. Just feels ick. Maybe not wrong but just ick [/quote]

Well, sadly, you just identified the answer.[/quote]

The answer to what? 
Whether it was crappy of the family? 
No I didn’t. My kid having adhd doesn’t make it ‘ok’ to exclude him. 
It may or may not be ok to do what this kid did. But my kid having adhd has nothing to do with the answer to that question [/quote]

The answer to why the kid didn’t invite your kid is because he thinks he’s annoying.

Obviously you think his parents should have overridden the boys preferences but this is the age when kids start having more input on who they invite.

This. The birthday boy doesn't consider your son a friend because he's annoying as you suggest, or for other reasons. I don't know why you think that has nothing to do with the problem. This is going to continue to be a problem, so what is your solution to that?[/quote]

When you have a child with a special need, of any kind, your whole life becomes finding ‘a solution to that’ 
Of course kids want to leave out other kids who are different, or weird or annoying. And they are entitled to do that up to a point where it’s cruel 
As parents we should all teach our children to be considerate and inclusive. That’s where we should be as a society [/quote]

To OP - how is your son's behavior in class? I'll come right out and say that the kid in my son's class that is constantly bugging the shit out of him, hitting, writing on his clothes, etc, will never get a birthday invite. I will tell my son to deal with it at school, but no, I would never force him to invite the kid to a party. Sorry. At 5, maybe. At 8+, no.[/quote]
