to be annoyed about this, or am I being a precious mummy?

OK - so this is quite new for me, but it does say get stuck in on the "getting started" bit!
My son aged 10 has a good friend who we often have to play/sleep over; they are both in Y6 at school. My son is an only child, his friend is one of 7. So although we have him to ours more than our son goes to them , that makes sense, if you see what I mean.

My partner and I are friendly with my son's friend's parents to the extent they came to bbqs we had in the summer, but not really close friends.
Anyway - son's friend is 11 next weekend and is having a sleepover for 5 friends. My son is not invited. Considering they play together at school all the time, and have these regular out of school/weekend meet ups, and considering I fairly regularly (last time Friday after school) have friend when his mum is in a fix/tied up with older/younger child, I am a bit put out. Am I being unreasonable?

Well - maybe I am wrong as well, but i too have insisted on certain children before my son chooses invites ont he same kind of grounds as above. But, actually - I didn't think this was one of these times - as i say - these two boys are generally very keen to spend time together. Anyway - I guess it's not the biggest deal in the world! Thanks for replies though - I feel better now!

And I always make sure that the child of a Mum who has helped me out big time gets a really nice prize or going home gift. The rudest or most disruptive child always used to win the tin drum or recorder in pass the parcel when mine were younger...
