I feel silly even posting this, but here's my problem: My 1st-grade son has a lot of friends and has been invited to a lot of birthday parties recently. We have a tiny house and a small budget and cannot afford to take 20-odd kids out for pizza or similar. So when my son turned 7 at the beginning of this month, we told him he could invite 2 friends out for a movie, which he did, and we all had a good time.
But I am getting weird looks from some of the parents of kids who weren't asked, especially those whose kids' parties my son went to. I think they may think they were snubbed, which is not the case! We're just broke and have a small house! Is there any diplomatic way to make things clear without making a bigger problem out of a small one? I had no idea that this kind of thing would become an issue when my son just turned 7!! Has anyone been in a similar situation, and what did you do? Thanks.
