[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should definitely let your child go to the party, especially if he doesn't get invited to all that many. I use uber, or a combination of metro and bike or uber, for "special occasion" situations like this.

Let us know what you decide to do OP, curious if we convinced you! [/quote]

Thanks, I'm the OP-  since you asked, you have convinced me to tell him about the party- you have not convinced me to take him or give him the choice.
I really appreciate the thoughts people offered.  I will say this- there were some inaccurate assumptions that I think were picked up on by many posters, which is why I think so many people were saying he should go to the party.
I honestly think if given the choice, the most likely thing is that he would decline the party (he LOVES the activity that conflicts with it)- but I don't want to tell him he has a choice, and then if he picks the party tell him he can't go.

Now you really need to update on us after he makes the decision. My shy introverted son would choose a friend's party any day of the week over an activity he does every week. It has not always been this way. Before he was 5, he really did not care. But now he really enjoys playing with his pals at parties. [/quote]
