DS was gutted to find out that he had not been invited to party of a 'friend' at school. Two days before party a few other kids were talking about it at school and getting excited (selection of boys and girls). Friend lied to DS and said he hadn't sorted his invite out yet (but truth is that there was no invite forthcoming). DS was getting really excited about this party. I then had to tell DS he hadn't been invited cos he kept asking me over the birthday w/e why he wasn't going.
DS was gutted but put a brave face on it and asked me if I could buy a present for 'friend'. I said 'no' but if DS wanted to do a bday card he could. After the party date had come and gone, DS asked friend why he was not invited (against my advice) and friend said cos they didn't have enough spaces.
My view is that they can invite who they want. It's their party. I'm not saying they should have invited my DS at all.
However, DS birthday is coming up in Feb. He wants to invite this 'friend'. We are really, really short on cash at the moment and I don't want to pay for a child to attend who is not really friends with DS.
AIBU to not invite this 'friend' despite DS wanting to invite him?
