Unsure what to name this thread, kids not getting on issue ?

Apologies I honestly have no idea what to name this..

my DS (7) has a friend in the same year group that he has been close with since reception (they’re both in year 3 now)

they do the same after school club and between myself, DP and the friends parents we do alternating pick up on the particular after school club day; give kids tea and take them to the activity. It’s always worked out fairly and despite the other child being quite hard work (suspected autism by parents) it is usually okay, my DS is being assessed for ADHD at the moment and tends to become emotional over comments made and is not the confrontational type when he disagrees with something, more recently my DS has become upset when this child is round and says that the child called him “lazy” as he asked me to get him something that was too high to reach. This obviously upset DS and now does not want the child to come to ours anymore. I originally thought it’s just kids being kids but after a few chats he is adamant.

My issue is how to bring this up with the parents? I am not sure whether to tell them the actual reason or just say it won’t work for us anymore?

Theyre both lovely people and have been friends for a while (done joint parties together, days out together etc) so im unsure how to broach this.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thank you

A bit of resilience might be an idea. They are 7 yo. Of course they will have fall outs.
