[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who are not having many children come to the birthday parties, why not celebrating your child's birthday in a way that makes you feel good? Like bringing a best friend or two with your family as you take a fun afternoon trip? Or a lunch out with another family? Add balloons, a cake and presents and your child will love it. Part of celebrating your child's birthday is your celebration, too, and why not enjoy how you are celebrating rather than feeling sad about who didn't come? Their loss anyways...By the way, by around 3rd/4th grade, birthday celebrations get very small intentionally. Very few of the huge bashes. So it won't be forever...[/quote] 13:51 again. I wish my daughter had a "best friend or two." That would be fantastic. If she did, I wouldn't be so worried about this party. It's really not about making me feel good or about the fear that I will feel sad. This is the first party she has had -- I've deliberately refrained from having a party for her before because for a disabled child it's so damn hard to make friends. God I wish the world were different. She's such a great kid, but for a kid in a wheelchair, are there playdates?[/quote]
