[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op i agree with others and it looks like people are unanimous, you’re overreacting. I’m not saying it wasn’t a total jerk move to have two kids hang separately and not attend the party. It definitely is. But since his parents may have been a big part of it and also because these relationships can be long, kids grow up, etc., you have to let your kid lead here. Kids honestly unfortunately do jerk stuff all the time and friendships go up and down.

One of my best friends from childhood who I am still close with at 33, snubbed me one time in 7th grade in a way that made both my grandmother and mother also feel snubbed because they had sewed something for her for the event (at her request/our plan together). It was totally a jerk move! But she was 12 and didn’t even really realize what she was doing, not fully at least. We ended up close again later and as I said our friendship stands today. My mom and grandma have honestly never fully forgiven her lol! They at least still definitely remember it. But I have zero feelings about it - it was preteen stuff.

Let them work it out. Parents do sound clueless though! (If not actual jerks but not enough info to know!)[/quote]

A few people from my preteen years tried to friend on facebook and instagram. I still hold a grudge 30 years later. lol I remember them as unkind and bad friends. I don’t want them as part of my lives. Their instagrams look fine and they look like nice people. [/quote]
