[quote=Anonymous]Did all the other kids know each other? Did your kid know the other kids in the same way? The fact that they were similar ages and had similar interests (maybe, it sounds like you are using "nerdy interests" extremely broadly) is not going to overcome a situation where the other kids are friends and your son has never met them before, or the other kids go to school together and your son goes to another school, or the other kids are all super into video games but your kid mostly like manga.

This would be like if my husband brought me to a party where he knew all the men and I didn't know any of the women at all, but he was like "oh you guys have similar interests" because he just things all women like vaguely the same things, and then we got there and he totally abandons me and to go hang with the men and it turns out the women ALL know each other and are super into baking and knitting when I love tennis and my job and I have to make awkward small talk with them for hours. And they don't even want to get to know because they are like "why is this lady even here?"

I could do it, because I'm a 45 year old woman and know how to survive something like that, not a 15 year old. But I would be super annoyed with my DH and would definitely let him know.[/quote]
