[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Unfortunately, we are in an area where parties on Sunday interfere with church activities[/b], so Saturday is the best day here.  And this was the best day based on consults with other moms.

Thanks for the encouragement- I think we will start pushing for smaller, parties too.  It is just so hard to move and make new friends on top of special needs.[/quote]

Are many families Catholic? If so, First Communions could be playing a role in the low turn out. Kids usually  make their First Communions in second grade & around this time of year. They can take place on either Saturday or Sunday (my church growing up had so many kids make theirs each year that half had it Saturday & half Sunday) & relatives often come in from out if town for the whole weekend.

When you add that to sports & other events that often take place in the spring (church picnics, and of the school year shows, competitions & parties for various activities , etc), the low attendance may really have little to nothing to do with your kid not being well liked & everything to with unfortunate timing.

I know, however, that, regardless of the reasons, it still hurts seeing your kid disappointed, especially about a special, once a year event like his birthday party & that it hurts even more when when you already have to watch the kid in question struggle with so many other things through out the year  :( [/quote]
