[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised at the unanimous responses. Those kids sound like total douche bags. I can see myself telling my DS "No, honey, we don't go to douche bag parties." It doesn't sound like they extended a personal invitation to her son. They hosted an event for the entire grade and did not purposely exclude him.

OP, I don't know what I would have done. Maybe more of a discussion about it rather than a blanket "no way". [/quote]

I'd hardly call this a "huge parenting fail." Discuss with your son why you thought it was better not to go (I can see reasons) and be open about his reaction and opinion. Take this into account for the next time, and in the future, make these decisions more collaboratively. Not a big deal.[/quote]

Bottom line is, her son is the one who is regretting not going to this party.  His current group of friends did go - without him because Op stepped in and wouldn't let him go.  Since he's the one living with this situation at school, he is the one who should have decided whether or not to attend the party.

Op could have let him go to the party and told him to call her if he decided that he wanted to leave early.  No biggie.[/quote]
