[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are all older now, but we had some Halloweens like this when they were in middle school. I recall one year when my son was like 13 and his plans with some other kids fell through. It was pretty rough. I mentioned it to my son (now in college) the other day. He didn't even remember it! Huh, go figure.[/quote]

Right . . . bc it was NO big deal. These are just normal parts of growing up and everyone has had times where they are friendless or plans fall thru or whatever. It doesn't scar you for life, unlike what all the mommies on here think as they hastily try to intervene every time their snowflake's feelings are mildly hurt.[/quote]

Oh, aren't you the realist!  :roll: I only have little kids, but I still remember the sting of exclusion from my middle school days. Even some parts of normal growing up stuff leaves scars for some of us, and osome kind words from my parents would have helped immensely, no other intervention needed. But I'm guessing you were part of the jock/ancillary popular group who would have been the first to kick someone when they were down. Make sure you're kind to your offbeat kid, too. That's your special child, not the popular ones.[/quote]
