Kid Question, Opinions Requested

[katiesue]

I read the OP late last night and then again this morning and am a little confused. Obviously Blake did not want to invite Nick to the party for whatever reason kids do this sort of thing. Just because the older brother said it was ok I would have at least called the other Mom first to make sure it really was ok. I know my daughter and her friends make all sorts of plans and extend invitations for things without asking the adults. I always call the other parent first to make sure we're all on the same page.

And I was also not clear on why he went to the party an hour ahead of time either. I know I'm never ready for the guests until right before the scheduled start time - an hour before I'm going crazy trying to do all the last minute things. Maybe the Mom was busy and didn't know what was going on between the boys?
