[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid is a little wimpy. Sorry.

My daughter is 7. There have been plenty of times when there have not been enough seats. She has sat alone. We have sat on the side. Another kid shared a seat with her.

I’m sorry if he has been bullied at school but this party seems like no big deal. Your kid kind of overreacted. Host offered him a seat. He didn’t take it so another kid took it.

[b]I also have 2 boys. Boys push and roughhouse. Your son really needs to toughen up. [/b]This chair situation really does not seem like a big deal.

I’m actually having a party and have too many guests. I may be a chair short. I told my friend and she already offered that her child does not need a chair. I told my own child she may have to stand. She said she can sit with a friend and share a chair.[/quote]

See, OP? These are the lazy #boymoms.[/quote]

I have two boys, and unfortunately-  even if you don’t allow your own sons to push/roughhouse, many of the other boys will still do so. I don’t necessarily  “approve” of that behavior, but I have no control over other people’s children & do have to teach my sons how to deal with their peers. For example- them learning to say “hey! knock it off!” or moving away from kids who are being rough or making them uncomfortable. Rather than crying or running to me (and then me calling it bullying or creating a large fuss over it…which will result in  making social difficulties for my kid).  And eventually (not necessarily at age 5)  for the chair situation- they need to learn to ask/assert themselves rather than waiting for someone to offer and/or just  standing there crying. [/quote]
