[quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing it's a lot of things. It's fall and weekends are super busy for everyone (sports, etc.) and there was probably some sort of event the two families identified a while back that they wanted to attend together. They planned it and at some point probably realized it was your son's bday weekend but by then it's too late. By your own admission, your son is not as close to these guys as he used to be. I'm so sorry that this happened, OP. While I"m confident your friends didn't mean to slight you and aren't trying to send you any sort of message, it still ends up feeling a lot like rejection. Time is a healer. I don't see what you can achieve positively by sharing your hurt with your friends. They'll initially feel bad but will quickly be annoyed that you tried to guilt them. I would simply shoot them an email saying that since they will be out of town for your son't bday, could you guys plan a belated get together when they get back.[/quote]
