[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 373385, member: 1233"] I wouldn 't ddo the lots of people I barely know at a place I have to pay a lot for no matter what my kid did. difficult child or easy child. This is not just a difficult child thing. Birthdays are so big that a lot of pcs do this too. I cannot count how many little kids have come up to me at school and invited me to a birthday party at some location in town. Kids that I may have volunteered with a few times while helping a teacher, kids who saw me doing room mom stuff, or kids who just saw me around the school a lot. Often they didn't even know my name or that I had a kid in the school, much less that kid's name! It was never taken seriously except by a few other kids. Tell your difficult child that the plans for his birthday are whatever they are, and that NOTHING will get you to pay a lot of money so that a lot of people you don't even know can eat, drink and enjoy whatever is going on in that location. If he wants a party like that he can wait until he is an adult and pay for it himself. You are totally right to tell him NO to his plans. ESP for having a bunch of strangers over to your home. in my opinion that is a security risk - you don't know if these people are going to plan to rob you later, or worse, or if one of them will turn out to be a pedophile or not. You hope none of them will have bad intentions, but you do NOT have strangers over for a party with your kids. Period. Regardless of what an 8yo wants. [/QUOTE]
