      or to the parents who spent money on reservations and food for 20 kids plus their parents - or to the parents that spoke of and planned the party with their kid which set expectations for that kid who is how scarred for life

      I totally agree, but that's still too hard of a life lesson for a kid. The parents of the no-shows are a reflection of something that's so wrong with society.

      I gather that right there the problem are not the kids who didn't show up, but their parents. Unfortunately then the kids grow up with the same lack of values.

    Fire prevention days going to schools and letting the kids climb aboard the trucks was one of the most enjoyable things about being a firefighter and I miss it. This is something he'll never forget. Awesome.

      It's my children's favorite day too. They come home with badge stickers and plastic hats excited to tell me who they met. They come out to the library on event days too. Maybe volunteer with your nearest library? If you have extra hours and the ability.🎉

    Same think happened to us .. when I asked him what he wanted for his birthday he said friends to play with and sing happy birthday to him .... my grandson turned 6 and only one friend came ... I seen him looking around and he was so sad ... So, I got in the car and drove to the grocery store, went in and searched for kids, found a couple and after talking with parents they headed to the party, went into a couple of other places and got a few more, then I went to my neighborhood and got the kids that live around me ... as I swung into pick up the pizza I mentioned it to a few more ... by the time I got back to the park we had over 40 people there ... all the kids just ran around laughing and playing ... all the parents sat at the picnic tables and chatted ... anytime I seen a child show up at the park I called out to them and invited them over ... Luke gave me the biggest hug and said it was the best birthday he ever had ... it was one of the best days for me too ... met a lot of new people :)

    I'm a paramedic and I have done something similar in the past, my station got a call a few days before the party stating that every guest bar two had declined the invitations to the party, so we arranged for us to send me and some colleagues to the party on our days off using a few reserve fleet ambulances and vehicles including the reserve air ambulance which I actually work on and did so at the time (it was my first month with hems), I was sent to pick up the birthday boy and his mum in the air ambulance, while his guest and family was picked up by a reserve fleet ambulance, we went and had a great time and every year we get invited to the young man's party (he is fifteen this year) and we have a brilliant time he is also now one of our ambulance cadets! He has never forgotten the day that his party was rescued by the ambulance service and plans to become a paramedic!

    • @TheMotherOfNations
      @TheMotherOfNations ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you for all the great work you do. Did any of his friends who had declined, do better the following year? I'm sure they regretted their decision the moment they heard they were replaced by fire fighters and what fun you guys all had.
      Keep safe. Thanks again for your countless rescue missions you do each and every day!

    • @jakedovey7488
      @jakedovey7488 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      He didn't actually invite any of the friends who declined the invitation the following year, but he did invite myself and all of the paramedics and ambulance technicians (emt) who came first time around as well as the friend who came to the original party, we even managed to rope in the fire and rescue service the second year and we had a party again and took the fire and rescue dogs with us for a bit of play time, but by all accounts his friends were not very happy to have been replaced by paramedics and ambulance technicians, I believe they were even more upset about not even receiving a invite the following year, although on the third year he started inviting them again!

    Damn, I can't believe I've seen 5 videos already where no kids showed up. This is always playing in the back of my mind if I throw a bday party for my son and no one shows up. My son loves to be around people of all ages. Super active. This would really hurt him, but he tends to make the best out of everything.. Still no kids should go through this feeling of loneliness. Do better, parents!!

      Not necessarily,
      if I counted on my parents to drive me to events and sports outings growing up, I would go to only few. If a kid wants to attend the party and the parents don't want to take them, that kid would easily make other arrangements to get a ride.

    This happened to my daughter a couple of years ago for her 12th b-day. She had everything planned out...cupcakes, gift bags for everyone, and games to play. Not one kid showed up, even after getting rsvp’s from all the parents. She was devastated. I told her unfortunately there are some evil people out there who just don’t care. I’ve made sure after that day to never let that happen again. This year was going to be similar due to us having just moved to another state. I ended up arranging for her best friend to be here for two weeks as well as g-ma a g-pa to be here. Hopefully next year will take care of itself with the new friends she’ll make in school, but I’m already mentally on standby with some plans just in case.

      So he knows, who's the one real friend he can count on and who are the others, that had "better things to do"!
      And it is very, very healthy cause all the others aren't persons he can relay on. It's not schicky-micky-country (UNsocial media), where the number of friends apparently reflects some status, but real life. There he should quickly recognize who is an opportunist and who is a friend. Saves a lot of money, time and disappointment!!
