Oh help!
DS turns 13 in a few weeks.
He's had a really rough year, really coped/dealt with a lot so I want to focus on giving him a lovely time for his first teenage birthday.
He has asked if he can do something with friends.
Problem is, he doesn't have a group of friends who are all friends with each other.
He has about 10 friends, and they are a real mix of different types of people. He's equally good friends with all of them, but of those friends, some don't know each other, and some really dislike each other.
This means he can't just invite all 10 to do something together, he tells me some of them can't stand each other whilst others just don't know each other.
So what on earth can I do for him? How do I get round this?
It means we can't have a sleepover/gaming type birthday.
He doesn't have 1 friend in particular that he's closest too, he's just friends with them all.
So what type of activities can I do for him? DS suggested go-karting - this is way out of my price range at £50 per child! Then he suggested quad biking - this is £120 per child! Bowling is too normal, he does it too often normally.
I'm really stuck. It's giving me a complete headache and I cant work out a way around this.
When he was younger, we'd have a whole class party with bouncy castle or I'd take a big group out for the day, which was so much easier than trying to work this out! Seems like a really tricky age with all these different dynamics going on between different kids.
