The person judging is OP - judging my teens, my “culture” (as if she even knows what that is!!), you for judging my personality.

Just no - no one is obligated to host Halloween at all, much less obligated to invite all their tween and teens’ friends’ parents.  Get a life and your own friends instead of trying to live through your kids.[/quote]

Ummmmm... I'm the OP. The person who started this thread asking how to support my kid.

How did this turn into crazy town with a side order of major culture bias?

Geez...no one even responded to my last question...too busy trying to out bully others. 🙄[/quote]

lol. Well, OP, this thread might’ve given you an answer. The world is full of all kinds including crazy-town.

My kid experienced one very painful exclusion. I told my kid not to think too much about it. Think of it as a basketball ball shot to the head. It might’ve been on purpose. It might’ve been on accident. Either way, who cares? Get a hug, get some ice cream, when the hurt goes away, try playing basketball again. Over time you might find you need to join a new team or play a different bracket to become a better player. But eventually, if you keep trying, you will.

Turns out basketball isn’t even my kid’s sport. My kid found his place though and is so happy.

The silver lining of the exclusion experience: whenever he’s tempted to exclude, I ask him if he remembers what that felt like. It made him a kinder person.[/quote]
