So, I was calling a few of the parents of my son's friends. Along the way I talked to a friend during this and they mentioned that "you will probably only invite the 4 year olds anyway right?"
I had not thought of that, since my son gets along with a wide range of children in the age group category. I actually just wrote down the names of the kids that he mentioned that he wanted there without thinking about how old they were.
Is there some unspoken protocol out there that says that you stick to your child's age group when planning a children's Birthday party? That was the question in my mind, and of course there must be somewhere, but I said to my friend that I had already invited the children that my son named and that did not mean they were 4 years old...
Actually, it doesn't matter to me and I know it does not matter to my son, so I guess we are outide of protocol on this one...I guess I just never knew and never thought there were expectations of anyone.
Doesn't matter though, I will be glad to welcome any of his friends who wish to celebrate with them even if they are not 4 years old.
Actually, he even has adults that he treasures and they are coming too, hummmmm, but I think they are not a part of the children's age protocol thing...at least I am not aware of it...
Funny thing, I think this is where my world (kinship society) and the mainstream just collide, and I choose not to follow the mainstream...
Anyway, it was interesting...

Agreed...I think you have to so what is right by your view of society and not what is the norm of others - much respect for that view!
