[QUOTE="klmno, post: 241908, member: 3699"] That's a tough one. I'll be interested in seeing what others think. I don't think I would make him go for the entire party. I probably would try to encourage going for a short period- maybe at the very beginning before everyone gets there and things get too chaotic. If you know the parents at all, maybe you could fill them in and see if there's another convenient time when they could just spend some time together without it being a big party. But, I really think I'd encourage going right when the party is due to start and saying you'll be there to pick him up 30-45 mins later, unless he calls first and says he wants to stay longer. But, if that was causing a great deal of stress, I'd let it go and not push the issue. My son did that about his 7th grade school dance- then, 30 mins before the dance, he changed his mind and decided to go. [/QUOTE]
