[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually- given that she was asked in advance if her child was available that day- I don't think she can decline.

I'm unclear if it is an activity that you don't think your son will do well at, or if he told you he doesn't want to go.
I would suggest sending an email along the following lines to the other Mom.

Hi Larla-
I know I told you that Precious could come to Larlo's party on the 20th.  I see that you are planning to take the boys caving.  Precious is terrified of dark enclosed spaces, and struggles with claustrophobia.  Would you like me to bring Precious for the non-caving part of it?  Or would you prefer he not come?  We are okay either way.   I'm glad Larlo and Precious are friends, thanks for inviting him.[/quote]

Yup, this is the perfect answer.
If it's something that he can handle, tell him to suck it up and have fun. If it's something he really can't handle, be honest with the mom and see if there's some way for him to particpate.[/quote]
