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

My son was invited to a paintball party a few years back which surprised me because the kid who's party it was was a crybaby even at 11/12 years old
They go the kid who's party it was didnt like getting shot cried and wanted to go home. Unfortunately all of the other friends and his little brother wanted to play the other 2 rounds. So this kid and his dad sat in a mini van for the party to end then the kid threw a tantrum because nobody was playing with him and it was his party. The look on the mom's face was so pitiful at that moment she knew she raised a soft brat.

Man, that really sucks. We’ve had our kids excluded from things and I know how they feel. Know how you must feel. Situations like this will linger well into adulthood for some kids and they never forget. And that’s a shame.
But I don’t think I’d say anything. What I would do is spend more time with your son. Maybe get him into things that gave him more confidence. Like training in Krav Maga or jiu-jitsu for example. Having him branch out and find new friends because clearly these don’t care.

If it were my daughter I might intervene
Let the boys figure it out. It always gets figured out. One day we hurt the next day it’s someone else for a little bit then we all move on.
A boy might be more embarrassed that his mom or dad says something. If that gets back to the group now there are two battles.

Intentional or not, make this a teachable moment. Then schedule to take your kid out somewhere special when the party happens.

My last point. If he was “flailing around trying to find an excuse “, I would think the issue came up with his parents afterwards. And after that was said did things get pretty quiet till they left?

Or your son could bang the mom and all problems in your general area code are covered pretty much for life.

Well I invited all the kids but that kid to an all expenses paid trip at universal staying at hard rock with fast passes, private tours, dinner at palm steak house, everything they could ever want.
Bizarrely shite like that never happened again. People are shitty

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?
Not really. shite happens.

Obvious answer is to bang the mom.
A real man would bang the dad in front of the mom and son.

No, because they’re boys they forgot about it and played street hockey for an hour before climbing trees. But when my son got home, he was emotional about it.
This is admittedly more of a “me” problem and I do appreciate the “locker room kick in the arse” that is this thread.

Well, if it were going to happen, it should probably be a wife thing.
Take your kid somewhere fun, then next weekend or so, invite the other three to (insert event that boys love these days). Laser tag, or the trampoline park or go karts or something. Leave Celiac boy home.
On the off chance that it was something your kid did (behavioral, attitude, maybe she caught him doing something she didn't like). Ask him privately if he knows. He just may not want to tell you. It's probably something you can resolve.

There is probably a reason like the parents said he could only invite 3 kids or something.

During the party go take a dump on his front porch

Take your son and the other kids to the WW2 museum, awesome hunting trip, the fricking Super Bowl if u can. I would get a suite at the superbowl and only invite the other kids. frick those parents.
Posted on 1/2/25 at 6:05 pm to TutHillTiger
Make a big public deal of the trip too, post 1000 pictures of it. frick them

And stock your house full of gluten. That little pecker head would never get anymore special treatment if I were you.

They probably think he is a huge pussy like his dad. You aren't helping here.

If I was a kid I’d be mortified if my parents stepped in like you are considering doing.
