[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it probably felt worse to you than it was.  I can sympathize.  But take comfort that most people probably didn't notice much.  I think the suggestions to just take your son for fresh air if you sense he is breaking down is a good one.

I greatly dislike the responses from PPs saying mean things about your son.  He is five.  Anyone who has called him a wimp or given the "buck up" line is an asshat.  That whole attitude is why so many of the other boys are crazed lunatics.  How about those parents try to raise better boys who aren't so out of control.  I'm tired of the boys will be boys crap excuse for boys behaving badly.[/quote]

I was one of the people who said OP’s son is wimpy. My boys are teenagers. I can’t recall them ever crying at a birthday party, even in preschool. These should be fun. Even if they didn’t know anyone, they would enjoy the activity. Some parties are not fun and that is fine, too. [b]The birthday parties will become drop off and OP’s child obviously can’t be dropped off.[/b][/quote]

NP. C'mon. OP's child is 5! None of my kids was invited to a drop-off party at that age (parents stayed), and yet when drop-off parties became a thing all the clingy kids who couldn't be dropped off at younger ages were totally fine. Just because OP's son was upset at this one birthday party does not mean he won't be able to dropped off a year or two (or more) from now. [/quote]
