[QUOTE="ML, post: 372433"] Aw, that's a tough one. Our kids are so sensitive and it does hurt to not be included. It's a balance of honoring your son's feelings, validating that he is entitled to them, and trying to help him deal with them in a positive way. Does your difficult child have other friends? Perhaps teaching him that having several friends available to him so that if one is busy, he can call upon another is a way to go? For some reason manster is ok with this in his friends, probably because his desire to engage with them is intermittent anyway lol. But if I compliment any of his friends he takes it as a personal affront. If I say "gosh, F, you are so smart" I will almost immediately see the pout and know what I've done lol. Part of that is onlyitis. [/QUOTE]
