I really have the feeling that the mother of one of my son’s (he’s 10) best friends misunderstood me. I know it sounds very silly but I truly believe she thought I was bitching about a good friend of her but I was not.
I don’t know my son’s friend’s mother well enough to ring her and justify myself to her. The thing is that she had insisted to have my son spend last night at their house which I had agreed. She was to phone to confirm the time, etc. but never did.
My son is very sad and upset and so am I about this whole thing.
Any good advice of what I should do would be very helpful and appreciated.

talk to her, it's the only way it will be sorted.

If i'v done no harm to anyone then i wont even feel worried.
Just keep call her up, like everything's normal and ask her straight out about the sleep-over. Then, if she starts acting shifty or huffy, get right into it and ask her if you'v done anything to offend her. Dont be confrontational about it, just be really open about wanting to hear what she has to say.
If she's a decent person, she'll come out with it and you both can clear the air about what was or was not said. If she's dodgy and tries to pretend that there's nothing wrong when there clearly is, then i don't think you really want your son to be around this sort of person who might create more tense episodes in the future.
Just let her know that you'd like to maintain some sort of relationship for the best interest of the kids. But remember, kids are resilient and if it doesnt work out, your son will make other friends.

Ring her but only about arranging another sleep over for your son. If she raises the other issue then you can deal with it.

you should have called her to ask her about the arrangements, it was a perfect excuse to call, then you could have brought up the subject and explained youself. You really should talk to her about it and clear the air, if only for your sons sake.

ring her up and invite your son's Friend over some time
you can always talk to your son's Friend's mom over a cup of tea when she drops him/her off or when she picks him/her up

you say you dont know her that well, so its hard to phone up, but it might be an idea to call her and give your side of the story. if she is rude or unpleasant to you then at least you know you tried.xxx
