Kids can be cruel and uncaring at times. They learn this from their parents usually. Your son has been blessed with a loving heart and in time a genuine-true friend will appear and it will be long lasting and maybe life-long.

My daughter (11) has had a few little problems from time to time along these lines and I have wanted to poke these girls in the eyes when I have seen them. I can't blog about them as a couple of these girls (who are still her friends actually!) read my blog, as do their Mums!! All you can do is listen, give him a cuddle and try to distract him from dwelling on it by suggesting extra family treats which will enforce the feeling of not actually needing that friend of his party as he has so much going on at home. That's what I did on one occasion when mine was breaking her heart as she hadn#t been invited to a sleepover and all her other friends had.... kids can be so cruel can't they.dineyhttp://oldermumsarefun.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843500519428498748.post-17443212181470675062011-01-12T07:17:36.612-05:002011-01-12T07:17:36.612-05:00Renee, I am so sorry that your son was hurt in thi...Renee, I am so sorry that your son was hurt in this way.<br />Frankly, as far as the party is concerned, I blame the parents. Especially after you reached out to them for an explanation. How cruel, for them to allow their son to reject yours in such public way. Perhaps he is better off without this sort of friend. My son had a similar experience in our close knit neighborhood, he was the only one not invited to a birthday party of a "good" friend. It was particularly mean, because the boy next door to us was invited, and asked my son to go with him. Awkward to say the least. I still get annoyed when I think about it and it has been 7 years!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369110147899267523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843500519428498748.post-68012994616608977062011-01-12T02:34:25.970-05:002011-01-12T02:34:25.970-05:00Oh Renee, this is hard.

I have no words of wisdom here.... there have been times when I've tried to encourage my daughter to pray for those who have hurt her - it does seem to help her, but often it's not for things as deep cutting as this.<br /><br />Be furious on his behalf - what else would a mamma tiger do? (as a mamma lioness, I know how hard it is to control that protective intuition!!)Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338253666992441869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843500519428498748.post-50622030843697726772011-01-11T20:41:33.319-05:002011-01-11T20:41:33.319-05:00Oh, that is heartbreaking, and it makes me furious...Oh, that is heartbreaking, and it makes me furious. I cannot believe that the boy did this to your son. What kind of nasty child would do that? Shame on him!

Maybe he already knows but just can't put it into "words" for you...and his teacher may also know the answer. Kids can be cruel at times and it tends to break OUR hearts when our children are not accepted by their peers...kids tend to bounce back quicker!!Patti @ Pandoras Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168379052525278502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843500519428498748.post-79275026731125325772011-01-11T17:37:09.417-05:002011-01-11T17:37:09.417-05:00The best thing in all of this is that you are awar...The best thing in all of this is that you are aware of his disappointment/sadness. So many kids,big ones too, suffer on their own. Life can be tough as you know and this,I would like to believe, will strengthen him for the future. I know though this must hurt you just as much. You are doing everything right.....being there for him.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.com
