[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP. My DS was the one who changed plans and dis-invited 2 kids. I think it was a timing issue and he had another group asking him to join. Those uninvited kids are just going to come anyway (they figured out their logistical issue and the parents just asked me for the meeting time). [/quote]

How do you feel about the fact that your child disinvited two other kids?[/quote]

I’m not the original poster - but I’d be angry with my child.[/quote]

Last year, my middle school child’s acquaintance friend ditched his friend to jump groups to my son’s trick or treating group. I remember feeling bad for the boy. My son had clear plans. A couple friends were coming to our house and having pizza at our neighborhood block party and then going to a different neighborhood to go trick or treating with a group. Another mom had texted us moms to coordinate. This was 7th grade. My son saw acquaintance friend and said he was going to Larlo’s house. Acquaintance friend was not on mom text chain. That kid showed up at the other neighborhood and ditched his friend who happens to be my neighbor. I told DS that wasn’t nice and DS said he didn’t have plans with neighbor and he wasn’t the one who ditched him. He said the acquaintance friend showed up and DS didn’t even know he was coming.[/quote]

I’ve read the above at least three times and I don’t understand the dynamics. Too complicated, is it even that big of a thing?  Truly wondering as I can’t trace the story.  Sounds like some other kid (not yours) ditched their friend and then later that kid showed up where ‘the group’ happened to be.  So, awkies?   [/quote]

No, the acquaintance friend showed up at the second neighborhood after ditching his friend who happens to live on our street. We saw both the neighbor and acquaintance friend at the neighborhood block party. The neighbor goes to a different school and one year apart so my child and neighbor have never even played together. I just wave hi to neighbor if we drive by. I thought it was a jerky thing to do for the acquaintance to ditch his friend to jump groups to my son’s group.[/quote]

Pick one. Acquaintance or friend. Otherwise it’s too confusing to follow.[/quote]

He was a friend of my kid in elementary but they no longer hang out or see one another in middle school. I called him acquaintance friend bc his mom is my acquaintance.

At the end of the day, the boy ditched our neighbor to crash my son’s trick or treating group. At that time, not all the kids had cell phones so the host mom texted a bunch of moms from elementary.

My kids are in 8th and 10th grade and I’m fairly certain all their friends have phones now. One lone boy has an Apple Watch but can text via his iPad.[/quote]
