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

Drive on! If you coddle him forever, you have to pay the therapy bills.

Just don't let the friend kid come to your house and get rid of the gluten free food. I find that when friends leave me out or never text first, it's best to just drop them. Later on if I get rich, they won't be getting any favor, any job, anything. That's how I like to think of it. If they are ever in a position that they need something from me, I'd just ghost them. I know the bible says to do unto others as you would have done unto you. I find that life is best when I treat others how they treat me. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. If not, then I won't be either.

If you ghost me when I text, but need me later, I'm going to ghost you.

They probably wanted to keep it at an even number for teams purposes and he didn't make the cut

Limited slots for the party and someone had to go. Sucks but its the way it is

Also sounds like you are dealing with a lunatic mom I'd stay clear

Ask your wife's boyfriend what he would do in a situation like this.

Edit: Also, your kid's fricking weird & it's your fault. Deal with it.

Buy your own paintball gun and go light their house up while they are off paintballing. Nobody will be home to catch you.

ETA: Next time celiac boy comes over, ask him if his mom is pregnant, because all of that weight gain. Refer to her as his "Hog mama" a few times. Then explain that his mom really shouldn't have more kids due to whatever genetic deficiency she has.

You really don’t think it’s odd and concerning that one of my son’s best friends doesn’t invite him to his birthday party? It’s not like it’s just a school friend. I’m the cuck for wanting to figure this out?

Contacting the parents of the other kid will cause further embarrassment for your son. He'll become the object of ridicule if he is not already. You won't be doing him any favors.

Follow the advice that says take him out somewhere and do something cool with him as father and son.

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.

Whole lot of real estate between being overbearing helicopter parent and just being a good parent.

You can't be serious.

This is a good thing. You don't want your kid being friends with gluten free homos.

1.) Do not contact the dad. That would be worst case scenario.

2.) Throw out all of the gluten free food for the other kid.

3.) Figure out how to toughen your kid up and make him more socially aware because it sounds like other kids don’t like him for whatever reason. Take him to do cool stuff. Tell him to cut out weird shite. It’s not a big deal now but it will be when he’s a teenager getting left out of stuff.
