[QUOTE="totoro, post: 256695, member: 3155"] So N was invited to a Birthday Party today of all places: Chuck-E-Cheese BLEECH! I really dislike this place. I understand why parents would like this place, I really do. But the parent of a difficult child would understand why I hate it!!! I also just dislike these type of places, the food, the dirty overall chaos... Maybe I am just a snob!!! LOL So we have been here once, when it was very slow, on a weekday. Because the girls have seen the commercial about a million times and have pleaded to go. They did OK because it was very calm and there were maybe 6 people. This was N's best boyfriend at pre-school. She has been so excited for a couple of weeks. He gave her the invite personally. His big sister also invited K. So I said they could go! Big mistake. We got there and N started shaking right away. Clinging to me. I got her over to the table and she calmed a bit. K did wonderfully. N clung to me and covered her ears a bit. I was able to find her friend D. So she and D and D's Mom and I took them around and played some games. N was still a bit out of sorts. Anxious. I could not leave her side. Which is fine it was crowded. They had pizza, this went well. She was still complaining about the noise and covering her ears a bit, I kept asking her if she was OK, she kept saying quietly yes. We played a few more games. Then she heard that Chuck-E-Cheese was coming out. She ran up the play tube thing and I could see her holding her ears, rocking and tears running down her face, she was screaming! :frowny: Her friend D finally got her to come down. As she was sliding down the tube slide all I could hear was a screaming [SIZE="4"]"Get[/SIZE][SIZE="4"] me out of here"[/SIZE] and she shoots out with her hands over her ears and continues to scream,[SIZE="4"] "get me out of here" [/SIZE] She is shaking and screaming,"I want out, Mommy it is too much I want out!" She is holding onto me climbing up my leg. Her little cup of tokens spills everywhere and her friend hands me her shoes... I grab her up and ask the Mom to tell K I will be back in a moment... and just run out the door. I get to the door and am like what the frick do I do? She is shaking and no way going back in. I want K to finally have a normal day. It has been so long. She never gets to just be a little girl. So I call husband and just say please come here as fast as you can, you need to get N! You can imagine why. He was watching NCAA. So it was OK. I asked her once she was sitting in the car for a few minutes if she wanted to go back? (Even though I was not going to let her) She said no way! She was fine once she was out. I just feel so bad for her. You know and I know what people would say who weren't there, "Oh my kid gets, or got scared by those things or those places" But my kid was the only one in 3 hours who screamed like they were being murdered and shook and covered their ears and had to be physically removed. The only one. I am just so sick of being treated like we are over reacting to N's fears. Yet this poor kid is so freaked out by things. Yet no-one ever sees these things!!! The poor kid was SO freaked out. I have never seen a kid this freaked out, ever! She is almost 5 and I have never seen a kid react like this. At any age. I just wanted to cry driving home. I was happy for K, she did so well. But you know how you just have those pity party moments? When you just want one freaking day, one freaking event to go right? And I can only say this to you guys.
