I don't want to :(

I was invited to a student's birthday and I said I would go. It's today. I think this is the first student birthday party I"ve been to. I really do not want to go. This little one got suspended the other day for pushing me (lightly, but that's not the point) and throwing a chair (not at me).

His mom spent the day in our room yesterday for his birthday, of course he was an angel! This party is at a pool with water slides and other water features. I'm bringing my swimming things, but I just don't want to. He also knows that I'm coming. So I can't just not show up. Ughhh, and I also don't want to mingle with the other parents either.

SAVE ME!!!

Oof. I don't blame you. I started getting grad party invites this week. I've just started telling kids I don't go to any, because if I go to one, I feel like I have to go to them all.

I hope it's not too terrible for you. Parents on a Saturday...yuck.

I wouldn't bring swimming stuff. I'd go, have a drink or piece of cake and give him a present (if that's appropriate), and get the heck out of Dodge.

Totally this. Hope it's not too painful. ;-)
