[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am thinking of taking the advice from many PPs and planning a special outing and using some of the language this PP wrote to explain things. This is a very gentle but very clear way to explain how the world of party invites work. I'm sure there will still be a lot of tears but he is going to have to learn it sooner or later.

[b]I can't say I blame the mother, even if she did invite everyone in the class except DS. [/b]She seems like a nice person who has great kids and while DS is always very sweet and well behaved at parties she has no way of knowing that may be worried he would spoil the fun for the rest of the kids.

[quote=Anonymous]   I have this exact situation. I acted like it was no big deal. I said we haven't received an invitation and that's OK because some kids feel more comfortable having smaller parties. I reminded her of smaller parties she attended where not everyone was invited.

My child insisted she was invited. I said the next time her friend asks about coming to her birthday party just say you didn't receive an invitation, but you hope she has a wonderful birthday. I figure if it's an oversite an evite will come soon and if it isn't then it's a lesson for DD. It's OK not to be invited. Sometimes people will talk about parties in front of you. I explained I don't think her friend was being mean. I think sometimes families have to limit the amount of kids they invite due to space/costs, even though they want to invite everyone their child wants there.[/quote][/quote]

Mom of two non-SN kids, and if she did invite everyone except your DS? I do blame that mother. Very much. That would be an outrageously cruel thing to do.[/quote]
