[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 269349, member: 3444"] Is it possible the child never brought the invite home, or that it wasn't seen until too late? That's happened a few times with us, and I only found out about it 6 months later when I bumped into the parent out in the community. They felt bad about it, but some people just can't bring themselves to pick up the phone to make amends. It's easier for them to just try to forget it and hope you do too. And my difficult child has been guilty of losing invites or getting them buried in his backpack and forgetting about them. If it were me, and I knew my kid liked the other kid and they played well together, I'd go ahead and let my kid go to the party. I can't help it if the parent is clueless, but I figure I need to facilitate my kid's social life because in our case, he doesn't do a very good job on his own. Who knows, it may just be a misunderstanding and the parent may just be socially clueless. Doesn't mean it was an intentional slight. I'd be annoyed, too, but I'd still want my kid to have a chance at a potentially positive relationship. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
