NO on the pity invite. Like, hell no. And I hope you didn't buy that kid a birthday present.
And throw away all that gluten free crap. Let that kid go hungry or shite himself from now on.
Take your son somewhere for father / son time tomorrow and talk with him - valuable lesson about some people not being what they seem to be.
Then get him involved with some things, like weekend bowling or whatever it is he might like. Get him some new friends.
frick that pity bullshite. Go find him some better people to be around.

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.
If their kid doesn’t like mine, he sure fakes it well enough coming over uninvited to our house all the time.
Don't react with resentment if you do contact the dad. It just seems like you're looking to cause an issue and not find some peace or a resolution.

Please shed a little more light on this. I don’t need details and certainly am not pinning this on your kid right now, but have these social issues impacted or seriously involved the birthday boy?
Not at all.
General “getting picked on” things that occurred at school.

How close is your son with the birthday kid, and be honest. Is he upset that he wasn’t invited to birthday boy’s party, or upset that he’s the only one of the neighborhood not invited?
This.

Raised enough kids to tell you absolutely you and your wife should not say a word. Heart breaks are part of growing up. And it doesn’t mean your son is number 4 of 4, it probably means he is number 4 with the main guy or another one was adamant against him. Never seen a case where parent getting involved where feelings were hurt helped.

That's a sucky deal, but it can also be a life lesson. I wouldn't reach out. Take him do something cool that day.
Take him to the range to shoot real firearms. Maybe take a course on how to shoot with him.
Do something fun.

When Cartman wasn’t invited to Casa Bonita, he took the matter into his own hands…
Just sayin’

The three other boys in the neighborhood are invited. My son is not.
Sounds like they're not that close to me.
I will say with neighborhood kids, I was friends with them for a while and then we would fight and then we would be friends again around two weeks later. Maybe it's something like that. I would just invite the other kids to do fun stuff with your kid and purposely leave out the other kid. Rub that shite in real good so the narcisst mom is calling you.

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?
Kids grow apart. Sometimes kids are dicks. We need to let our kids work through it, with our love and support, but by themselves.

Sometimes kids just don't get invited. There might be a limited number of spaces. It's hard but don't let it hurt your feelings and just explain that to him.
I worked with my son on his birthday party invite list today and I said he could invite 11, because with him that's an even 12 and you have to pay per child. It took him time to pick who and he also wished he could invite everyone but realized he couldn't.
You've got to remember this child could also have family, classmates etc.
Don't make a big deal out of nothing.

He's old enough to start hitting the weights.
Take him to the gym.

Go zip-lining in Frenier.

a pity invite may be worse long term. If you want to know, wait until after to ask the parents. There may be another reason

Come on man. Be a real dad and teach your son the real life lesson here. It ain’t having daddy raise fuss because his little price wasn’t invited to the ball.

There are very few justifiable reasons for arson....this being among them.
Posted on 1/2/25 at 5:39 pm to StringedInstruments
Time to let the kid grow up. Its a birthday party.
Posted on 1/2/25 at 5:40 pm to StringedInstruments
Leave this alone. Take your child to do something else. You can only make this worse.
He will be ok. I promise. Don’t make it a big deal.
You might be the problem here.

I read the whole thing expecting this to be written by an overprotective mother until you said “my wife” at the end 
Posted on 1/2/25 at 5:41 pm to StringedInstruments
It sucks but that's the way life goes sometimes. Let him deal with his "friends". Stay out of it. This will teach your son a life lesson early on. On that day have some father son time doing something he really likes or has never done before.
