[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were all these older boys from the actual class?

My Dd is my youngest and we know a lot of kids who are both younger and older. We would invite a large age range to parties. I highly doubt all the boys were 6-7. Seems like a big exaggeration for kindergarten. 6 maybe but OP’s kid will also be turning 6 sometime this year.

I have a friend whose son is an August birthday but he is huge. The dad is 6’8”. They kept him back because he was socially immature. He is like 7 and looks like he is 10. He acts 5.[/quote]

I don’t even get why the ages matter. This is a birthday party not a classroom and the host can invite whomever they want regardless of age.

As far as the host, seems polite and attentive in that when a chair was needed, host found one and offered.

As far as other parents, can’t see what they did wrong either. There were chairs for kid and kid refused. Why would adults keep offering after that?

As far as another kid “taking” OP’s kid’s chair, kids were six. Birthday parties are full of overstimulation and excitement. I doubt anyone even realized the chair was saved. Lesson learned for OP. Either stay with the chair or live with what’s left when you are ready to sit. OP could have either had her kid go to the bathroom alone or use the hand sanitizer. If neither worked for her then she should have taken her kid before everyone sat down or lived with whatever chairs were left.

Party sounds like it was really fun. OP sounds like the mom of an oldest at their first group birthday party. In the future they will know what to expect and make their decisions accordingly.
