[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It’s too late now, but I wouldn’t do birthday parties like this in the future. Let your younger son pick a handful of friends and go do something fun with that smaller group. That’s what most kids seem to do as they get to be tweens anyway. [/quote]

Seems like this kind of party isn’t younger brother’s thing. In the future, let him pick an activity and small group of friends. Sounds like he’s an introvert. Make sure you’re not just some huge extrovert projecting insecurities because you don’t understand introverts.[/quote]
I’m going to steer him to smaller events in the future.  I’m an introvert, but my mom was an extrovert so I learned how to survive in an extroverts’ world. The party is only big because that’s how many he wanted to invite. But in hindsight I should have realized he was just trying to copy big brother.  I need to let him know its ok to not have a large group of friends that goes out every weekend.
I’ve watched him for years in social situations.  He’s usually off doing his own thing, rarely actually participating with the other kids beyond what is necessary. [/quote]
