[quote=Anonymous]OP said:[I] I took my 5-year-old DS to a birthday party today for a 6 y/o boy in his class. The boys were wild - just insane. Some of them were 6 turning 7...[/I]

I bet the "6 turning 7 kids" are redshirted kids who will be turning 7 in the spring so they are at most a full year older than her boy who turned 5 this past summer.

I do think the whole "boys will be boys" thing is an excuse for parents who misunderstand positive parenting and don't want to put in the effort to actually discipline their children; however I also think that OP sounds like a pushover and really should have either asked someone for a seat or found an empty chair and shoved her kid in next to where he wanted to sit. She's not the first person in the world this has happened to. I have a girl who up until 3rd grade was always one of the only girls at an all boy party, she stood up for herself, and when she couldn't, I stood up for her.

OP, your child is clearly on the younger end of kids which means he is going to need to learn to be loud and be more assertive.

All of that said, OP never came back, so it's entirely possible that she's just the same person who for the past week or so has been posting a ton of anti boy-mom posts and has been sock puppeting this thread.
