I don't think you're being petty BUT neither would I lower myself to her level. If your son really wants to go to the party, I'd let him go; if not don't. Birthday gifts don't have to be expensive; kids just like to get something - they don't care so much what it is. In either case, I'd RSVP - maybe she has no manners and needs to be taught by example. Maybe she did have too much on her plate: I''ve been there done that. Maybe the invite got lost. Maybe she's just a jerk. But that doesn't mean you have to be one. Respond whether you're sending him or not. It will be a good example for her, AND FOR YOU SON to see how to respond to an invitation.
