@Joanne: OOOOOH, you are singing to the choir on the “choose your friends carefully” conversation!! What a delight to celebrate your son’s birthday with a whole group of well-behaved children…and that is a fabulous shining moment when he told you how he picked his friends. LOVE IT! Obviously, you’re doing a great job with your kids!

My children are still young so just the way they squeal MOMMY’S HOME when I get in from work is proof to me that the banshee that was mommy in the morning is long forgotten. I am constantly telling my son he should pick his friends carefully. If they are mean or make him feel bad all the time then they are not really his friends. For his 8th birthday he wanted to go to the movies. He picked 7 friends to invite and 6 came. A couple of mom’s brought siblings as well (but paid their own way). In total we had 11 boys and 1 girl between the ages of 5 and 8. When one parent told them to do something they all responded IMMEDIATELY and followed directions. They were the best bunch of well-behaved children I have seen yet. They all had a good time and several asked if they could all come and play at our house one day. When I told my son I really liked the friends he invited he said, “Well I picked the ones I have fun with and that are nice to me.” (DUH MOM!)
