Ds has just turned 11. Seems happy enough at school, but never gets invited anywhere except the odd party (about 2 per year).
We're not local, joined when he was halfway through Y1, and I'm very rarely at the school for pick ups etc, so don't know if that's why. He says he has friends, teachers say he does, but it never seems to extend out of school.
This year he wanted a sleepover with 4 people. Invited 2 from a club he goes to, and 1 said yes, the other is coming but can't stay over. The school friends: 1 (longest standing friend who has always attended before) said no - very brusque text, which I think odd as this boy is/was the one reliable friend I thought ds had.
So ds invited another boy, but neither he nor the other original invitee has replied. ds says they are coming, but I've heard nothing in over a week. I would be booking places on an activity now but can't.
It's going to be a fucking wash out isn't it? What do I do? It's just so hard it seems - wish I hadn't said yes as I knew this would happen, but he really wanted a sleepover 
. Now it will be just him and one other boy he doesn't know that well.
