[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS 11 moved schools last year. For his first bday in the new school (after a full school year) I invited 5-6 boys he indicated as close friends to paintball, through the parents. On the day, something like 2 kids were on time, 2 kids sharing a ride were an hour late and 2 kids were a no show, one had not replied to the invite at all and we found out later they hung out together that day. DS was sad about the whole thing, but we did the best we could under the circumstances, followed by a talk about maybe branching out to other boys.

This year, the no reply no show boy has a bday coming up, and DS is eager to go. I dont want him to and think he shouldnt go because the parents were so rude/clueless and the kid also never apologized or acknowledged.

Am I overreacting? Should I leave it at not inviting this kid again, but let my son go to his party? I dont have the stomach to buy a gift, take the time to take and pick up my kid. Partly I want the family to know what it is like to have no response and no show - though I doubt they care much. [/quote]

You are like me, I never forget and would consider the rudeness the next time as well. I think people show you who they are and well the parents are rude and so you have to decide if you want your kid going to the rude kid's party or not. I'm not petty but I just don't forget and definitely take into consideration these circumstances. [/quote]
