Kid Birthday Parties

Post Reply New Topic

Did you have any issues with birthday parties when were a kid? I mean, like the type children have until they are about 13? Not the type that's at someone's house or a restaurant and everyone just talks. The type where you play a lot of games and run around. I liked some parties, but not others.

I once went to this one party, that was at this place that had a 9 hole mini golf course and lots of games. We did a pinata at the end. (Which took like 20 minutes to break) The girl invited everyone almost in her class, it seemed like, and I knew her from outside of school, so didn't actually know anyone except her. Didn't like that one.

Then, I went this one at a gymnastics place and there were like 20 people there and I didn't know anyone except my friend who invited me, we were spilt into 2 groups because of the extremely large number and there was no one I knew in my group.

Then there was a time when I went a party at a different gymnastics place, and the party it's self was fine, however, one of the leaders, suggested that I go to this camp, and that was a disaster. (The camp I mean)

Anyone, how did you do with birthdays?

I hated most aspects of them. I loved going to the ones at Showbiz Pizza (which is now Chuck E. Cheese), but only because of the arcade games. I really was THAT obsessed with video games back then, haha.

I was only invited to two birthday parties. The first one I couldn't wait for it to be over because of my anxiety. I was too anxious to eat any cake or anything and I don't really remember much about it except the daughter of my brother's deadbeat ex girlfriend pouting because it wasn't her birthday. I was also invited to the birthday of my so-called best friend but her parents hated me because I was so diffrent and thought I would be a bad example for their daughter. I'm still a virgin and plan to die as one but their goodie two shoes daughter got pregnant before finishing high school. Anyway, her parents called my parents to come pick me up and lied about me causing trouble. I can't remember a single thing I did that was so horrible but people often did lie about my behavior in order to convince my parents I was a bad seed.

I just hate parties in general but "kid parties" as you describe them w/ the adults gossipping like idiots as well are the worst to me

I went to few of them as a kid and always liked them. I loved the cake and seeing what presents the person got and playing the games. But when I had my own, I hated it but yet when other kids have theirs I was fine.

Whenever I go to a birthday party, or any party, I usually end up alone or hanging out with the elderly adults. The kids always completely ignored me, and after awhile I got bored trying to get their attention and let me play games with them. The elders were nicer to me anyway. They'd tell me stories and jokes and what-not. Even today I'd rather hang out with someone who was 60 over a kid my age.

As for my birthday parties, I couldn't tell you. My first actual party will be this year, and only 3 people are going to show up (if I'm lucky). Since everyone makes such a big deal about 16, I figure I might as well have a little get together. not sure what the big deal is though...
