The entire situation seems really strange.  Why does she think it is so important to provide this game?  I guess if it is a new system you might not have games and if it is new the kids might want playing it to be the focus of the sleepover.  I can see that happening.  I just cannot think why she is letting her son push this way and blame others - I know that when my kids start stuff like that they are not giving me the whole story - often not even close to it.

 

She really seems to have buckled to this kid in many ways that seem odd to me.  i am picking up on a lot of discomfort from you regarding the entire situation.  I would feel the same way.  The boy sounds like an Eddie Haskell type who gets his way by lying and manipulating and has his mom so bamboozled or worn down that he is largely in control.

 

on the other hand, maybe the boy earned the sleepover with a new game for all the boys to play for accomplishing something.  Sorry the friendship is so fraught with minefields.  I hope your difficult child doesn't start to expect the same things from you.
