[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the other parents knew what was happening. I’m a person who is sort of pathological about looking out for people who seem to be upset, and OP I don’t think I would have understood how to help you. Because you’ve said your son passed up several chairs and was specifically offered one that he refused to take. And you said you were sitting somewhere. No one would understand the cost thing without having it explained to them. It’s not fair to expect them to.

So even if I was a parent who wanted to help, I don’t think I would have really known what the tantrum was about or that giving up my chair could help unless you asked me directly (I would of course say yes).

I think you and your son were really feeding off each other on this one. It was tough, but I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as you think. We’ve all been the one with a kid breaking down at a birthday party. No biggie. Better luck next time. [/quote]

Yeah I would not notice if a kid was upset. I think there is always a crying or upset kid.

If I was talking to another parent and something was happening behind me about a chair, I would not have noticed.

Even for kids I do notice, I may ask and try to help, like the host. Everything OP did seems fine. OP’s kid was embarrassed for crying. He felt bad about his chair. Op didn’t grab a chair when she still could and the boy didn’t take the chair when offered by the host. What more does op want?[/quote]
