[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not typical friend behavior, OP. Something is very off with your son's reaction. Before you feel too sorry for the other mom you should talk to your own son and figure out what's going on.[/quote]
Look, I love my son, I am hurt by unkind responses in this thread regarding his behavior, but objectively I think he was being a sore loser and impulsive and maybe just tired/hungry/whatever. He also has some social awkwardness at times so maybe that played a role. I think I would sense it if the friend was truly mean, but they seem to have a good time when they hang out. This friend helps him with coding projects, so it’s not like he is bad kid. [/quote]

Nobody thinks the other kid is a bad kid! We think you and your son are not aware of why this reaction is going to be harmful to *him.* Kids this age talk trash to one another. Your son is the only kid I have ever heard of thinking “I’m gonna tell the principal on my friend” for that and I teach high school. I don’t think this friend will have much to do with your son after this but you seem completely in denial that the choice your son made is unusual AND it will have social impact on him. You keep reassuring us they really are friends and I … don’t think that is going to be the case after this because if I’m the other kids mom I would be telling my son to distance himself from yours.
