My DS aged 8 has a close friend at school whom he plays with at break times, they've been close since day 1 in reception and are now in Yr 4. The friend has been over to play but no invites back. The friend has been to ALL my DS birthday parties and, this is what's really upsetting my DS, yet again he's not invited to his friends party. His friend even promised to my DS (as he does every year) that he'd get an invite, and every year I try and prepare DS for a disappointment, which he always gets and then I have to help him get over it. Thing is, I don't know why and neither does DS.
Do you think I should send a message (the Mum works full time so I never see her) to the Mum and just ask her to talk to her son about how always promising my DS an invite and never giving one, really hurts his feelings?
Every year I want to do this, and every year I chicken out!
