Honestly say nothing.. This is a good teaching moment by not getting involved.. You simply tell your son to choose his friends wisely and don't be rude to that kid.. Also .Do Not go out of your way to be overly accommodating either.. If the mom is what your wife thinks she is then your wife is probably right and you keep your distance.. Those types are next level crazy..
My youngest daughter has been in competitive dance for 6 years and we've come to recognize these kind of kids and parents right away..Trust me preteen and teenager girls can be nasty little C U Next Tuesdays and the more you warn your kid that not everyone nice to them is really their friend the better..

While I won't say I condone this, just make sure that there no ring cameras around.
Or do it dressed up as a clown.

Evidently your son is not one of that kid’s best friends.

Your son is hurt now, but in a few years this will be long forgotten. How many of your childhood friends do your interact with on a regular basis?

Come on! Grow up! Life is full of disappointment! Make it a teaching moment! Don’t be a Karen!

No, they had their reasons

Don't do that to your kid. That's embarrassing and will probably make the situation worse than it is. You think you know everything that goes on with your own kids etc. You have no clue. Let them sort it out one way or another. Your a good father but you can't fight your sons battles. This would be in the same category as going to a coach bc your son isn't getting any playing time or the playing time you think he should get. It will just make the situation worse for him

I’d call the dad. But my angle would not be bitching about the lack of an invitation. I’d tell him that my son has had some issues at school, and if it is a problem in the neighborhood I’d like to know about it so I can correct it.
More than likely you will find out that the mom put a limit on the number of kids she would pay for at Paintball, and your son was just the odd man out.

One of my son’s closest friends in the neighborhood is having a birthday party tomorrow. Paint ball with a group of boys. The three other boys in the neighborhood are invited. My son is not.
How old are these kids? Under middle school we invited everyone in his class and other kids in the neighborhood. Kinda rude in my opinion to not invite all. By middle school, the parties got smaller and we only invited those that were his best friends.

i'd try not to make this any bigger a deal than necessary...as others have suggested, take your kid and do something special that day...the more you appear upset about it, the more your kid will as well, as he will look to you for how to react...
have you ever seen the movie "parenthood"? steve martin plays a father who is constantly anxious about everything involving one of his children who also has anxiety...his behavior exacerbates the anxiety of the child...once he realizes this and lightens up a bit, the kid's anxiety begins to lessen...

Would you reach out to your son’s friend’s parents after something like this?
This is what almost certainly happened…the parents booked a party package that includes a set number of guests / players. Parents told little Johnny he can invite that many friends. Johnny picked his 15 or whatever friends he wanted to invite, and unfortunately your son didn’t make the cut. Kid may have other friends at school, church, scouts, baseball, or whatever other activities he’s involved in that he wanted to invite too. Probably wasn’t an easy choice for him and his parents probably weren’t willing to pay for additional guests beyond what the party package included. Kids’ birthday parties are expensive enough without having to pity invite every single one of your kid’s friends so nobody’s feelings get hurt. Sucks to be the one left out, but it is what it is. Maybe it’ll help teach your kid which of his friends value him the most

Explain to him about how some people suck and to be glad he found out this kid sucks before it got him hurt worse or really screwed.
That is a shitey situation but now you know his parents suck too.
Take him to a martial arts class that day or something where he can make friends with a new group. Fighters are usually the nicest people because they arent going around trying to prove anything. They know exactly what’s up.
