DS is 5, just finishing Reception. He seems to have made plenty of friends and has had lots of party invites and play dates. Teachers comment that he is popular with good friendships.
There have been issues with 1 particular boy, G. G became quite possessive over DS back after Christmas and it was flagged by the teacher and sorted. Since then they do play together every day at some point but G is often unkind to DS after a while. DS often talks about G in a puzzling way, trying to figure him out and why he says this and that and does this and that but is then nice again etc. DS seems intimidated by G too and is still under the impression he has ask G for permission to play with other kids etc. Having said that he's become much more assertive with G.
The parents are lovely and I often socialise with the mum. The boys also go to the same childminder once a week.
Anyway, you can see where this is going.... G teasing DS a lot at the weekend at a party, that G was having a party and DS wasn't invited. Wasn't sure if this was true but confirmed with a few discreet texts to some other mums. DS is sad but mainly puzzled as to why "they can't find room for me Mummy". I've been breezy, and we are busy anyway AND I suspect the friendship is toxic anyway and I don't particularly want to encourage it..... so why do I feel so upset?
