My 7 y.o son has not been invited to a particular boys party in his class for the first time ever. They have known each other since birth and were very close. My relationship with his mum deterioated catastrophically when they were both in reception but it never stopped them playing or inviting each other to B.day parties.
Evidently this party has only 5 kids going (bowling thing). Ds hasnt been asked but his 3 friends and a girl have. Im concerned he may feel left out and am wondering should I tell him - along the lines that we cant all go to every party ect.. or should I wait to see if he a) finds out and b) cares.
In many ways if he is not upset it will be a real relief. I have always made sure the other little boy was invited to my ds sons parties because I didnt want my feelings for his mother to rub off. Now though, I feel if my son isnt inclined to invite this kiddie to his party next month I dont have to encourage him to.
