To think BOXING GLOVES is not suitable entertainment on a birthday party?

[QS]

My son (6 1/2) came home from a birthday party, all bruised and with such pain in his tailbone, he could not bend over.

The mum had thought kids fighting wearing boxing gloves would be really good fun.

WTF - boxing gloves!
I was livid.

Am I right to refuse him to ever go to this girls parties again???

Seems odd, could it have been the big inflatable ones that are currently being sold?

no, they were real boxing gloves. And my son was paired to fight with this big strong boy. My son is very lithe. Cute like a feather, my son is. Not really the game for him, and for sure not with a football playing ballsy boy.

what a strange thing to organise for party entertainment - how very odd. Did they have gumshields in? And why does your ds tailbone hurt fgs. And this was a girls party you say?

They did not have any protection. No professional instructor. Just the mum, 30 kids of different ages, and two pairs of boxing gloves!

Yes, it was her 8th birthday, so a girls party.

he got pain in his tailbone because the other boy punched him so he fell backwords onto a chair by the wall, and hurt his back/tailbone on the edge of the chair.
