to be alittle irritate

[Beavermum]

that the mother of a boy who has said he does n't want my son at his 6th bday party (no problem with him not being invited cant all go to all parties) then accepts ds sons invite to his party a week later. If other way round I would have said if you dont want X to invite to your party then you cant go to his

YANBU but I think you are on the higher moral ground here. Just ignore.

don't b e ridiculous

Are you sure the lad said he doesn't want your DS at his party? Or could it be a numbers thing for the parents keeping the costs down?

Thing is, you did invite the boy to your DSs party, so whatever the reason why your DS didn't go to his, it would seem pretty normal for them to accept IYSWIM?

I would try not to get too bogged down in all the party shite, just my opinion, but they seem to cause nowt but trouble

Boy doesn't invite your son to his party but you invite him to your son's.... and now you're annoyed because they've accepted? First rule of invitations, I'd suggest, is that if you don't want someone to say 'yes'... don't invite them in the first place.

Daft

YABU.

My son has been to parties of children he didn't invite to his. Not a big deal at all. Some parties are great big whole class events, others are smaller with less children invited.

If you didn't want him to accept invite you shouldn't have invited him in the first place. Wierd attitude op imho

Oh and we have also invited children to our dss parties that haven't invited us back. Its called life - no big deal at all

A mum approached me in the playground very sheepishly to apologise for my DS not being invited to her DS party - her DS had been to mine but to be fair, it was a joint party and we weren't restricted on numbers.
I told her to lighten up - kids change friends all the time - they fall in and out of favour and frankly, the kids could not give two hoots whether they go or not - there are so MANY!
Please stop micro managing and worrying about your DS's popularity! And don't be petty if your DS wants him at yours - let him come YABVU

YABU.

Look at it this way - your son gets a present, the other boy gets to go to a party - even stevens

YABU for all the reasons mentioned above. Is your son a PFB by any chance?

Thank you - for reminding me how mixed views ar eon MN. All I said was I was a bit iritated not angry/p'd off or upset.

For what its worth
I didnt know that the other boy was havign a party, I asked son who he wanted and he is not a PFB Jux are you the mother of 2 or more who no doubt suffer from maternal deprivation because they have to share your time? Of course you're not

No need for that.

oooh handbags

OP why did you invite the other boy if you wanted his parents to refuse? I don't understand your thinking

you are an idiot if you think you can control other peoples responses and throw a hissy fit if they do not conform to your pre written script

HTH

I think she sent out the invite in advance of knowing about the other party.

Life is too short for all this isn't it?
