The three have been friends since nursery and in the last year I have noticed that the two others have got more and more friendly.
The are having sleepovers at each others houses etc etc yet neither of them ever ask for my ds to come as well or invite him over to their house.
Also ds is a bit lacking in confidence but he has always been best mates with each of them and we have taken them in turn on days out had them both on sleepovers and I cant understand why my ds never gets asked over.
They are approaching 13 now and of course I realise that they should be arranging things themself now but somehow these boys are getting together alot .
Of course I also realise that they can choose who they want to spend time with but I feel so dissapointed it has gone this way and my ds still asks for these lads to come to our house usually in turn but I sort of feel reluctant as they are not showing any interest in asking for my ds's company.
What do you think

Lots of friendships change as people go towards their teens.
My dd, in particular had a really strong group of friends that had been friends all through Primary, but, as they went through Yr7, the friendships altered. They never fell out, but just grew closer to other people and away from those they'd been close to as infants and juniors. It really is fairly common, and nothing to worry about. Both my teens have been friendly with different people over time in secondary. ds has gone in a bit of a circle and is closer now to someone he was friendly with in Yr6, but then didn't really mix with through most of secondary.
Just let them find their own feet - don't get involved.
