re: Would you reach out to your son’s friend’s parents after something like this?

Do what any OT dad would do, get him a hooker and have a real party. Invite all the friends except the birthday boy and see how he likes it. Guarantee, he won’t ever be skipped on parties next time!

What say the OT?
Listen to your husband, ma'am.

That post must be what ChatGPT was referring to. Wow. Now I get it.

I feel like reaching out to the dad is appropriate. Even if just to text and say that I’m confused why they would treat the situation like they have.
I don't think I am overstating this when I say this will evolve into your child hating you the rest of his natural life if you do this.
Or make him gay,
Or both.

Make sure you go do something cool with your kid (not paintball related), so he can say he had plans, when others bring it up later

With this being the case, your reaction to this situation won't help his confidence at all.
I obviously have no clue how old your son is, but assuming he's older, let him and his friends figure it out. Nothing you do will help. Your wife is right.
And hopefully I won't need to tell you this, but don't be Peter Griffin in this GIF:

Your son just learned a valuable lesson that a lot of people are shitty. He will be better for it.

I wouldn't reach out. I think you could use it as a growth moment so he realizes that sometimes we get left out, it's easy to get upset but not worth it, and there are always alternatives to hanging with the usual crowd. Then take him out and do something fun for some quality father-son time.

11/12 year old boys are completely oblivious to feelings and social norms. Nothing is a big deal until someone else (usually an adult) tells them it is Not getting a birthday invite does not mean your son is disliked by the birthday kid. There is likely chance they will all be playing together again in the next week and no one will give a shite.
I can guarantee you, if you DO get involved, there is absolutely nothing good that will come from it. Especially for your kid.

The answer is simple.
Kill their dog or burn down their house.

Life is too short to put up with people pissing on ones family.

I always wondered how schools shooters parents were oblivious to the fact that the kid was about to kill their classmates. Now seeing the response to this thread it makes perfect sense.
Hell of a lot of real estate between being an overbearing helicopter parent lobbying for a participation trophy invite and oblivious that your kid is about to take down a school. There have been a lot of great responses in here especially since we have absolutely no idea what the party throwing family’s situation is surrounding their party.
Hell my son has friends who he’s been invited to every other or 3rd year. I always just assumed either they weren’t that close that year or they may be electing to do something different with a smaller group that year and he just didn’t make the cut.
The idea that daddy is always going to be able there to make every little perceived slight better is preposterous and a massive disservice to the development of a child. If anything it’s hilarious that there are so many people calling the party family assholes over something that could be extremely minor.

I don’t think I would contact them. I would plan a fun day for your son on the day of the birthday party.

Sounds like a great lesson in rejection

Good way to wind up looking like a Jackson Pollock painting. Hire the local teenage badass team to be your son's team.

Chalk it up as a win. You can't put a price on the tough life lesson your son has to absolutely figure out how to manage,
When my 4yo gets his little feeling hurt I celebrate inside. I know he ain't gunna be a limp wristed pussy boy

They did your son a favor.
They taught him a hard lesson at a young age, and they relieved him of future efforts that are clearly not worth his time.
His worth will be found thru good council.
Don't bitch and moan to another parent... That is plain silly.
