Some of you may remember my thread ages ago about a little boy in my sons class, and my issues with his mum when she rang and yelled at me because her son was hitting mine. She has written an email and apologized for her behaviour towards me (possibly prompted by me inviting her son to my sons party).
All the children in the class has been invited, and children from outside the school too, so it will be a pretty big party.
Because it happens after school, in the Church Hall next door, it is pretty obvious who is going to the party and who isnt.
Well, this little boys isnt. He will see the teacher line up all the kids in the class, and three parent helpers coming to walk them all in a line to the party. And this little boy is going home with his mum.
It is his mums choice, but it is breaking my heart. He never gets to go on playdates, never has children home. I know I cant change it but, it still upsets me.
Imagine being that ONE little boy. Does he know that it is his mum refusing him to go to parties (he never attends, always invited), or does he think that nobody wants him at their parties?
I was thinking, should I email his mum (she has control issues, so wont let him out of her sight) and say something along the lines of "Such a shame X will see all the other children line up and go to the party but not him. I am short of a pair of hands, would it be possible for you to help at the party? Open the door, carry food, have a glass of champagne, unless you have something else on of course."
