My little baybee god son is going to be 6 next month and I know that his mom is going to be throwing him a party. I love my little baybee and I plan on getting him a nice present but I have been to his first 5 birthday partys and the people are just obnixous. They are loud and ghetto and act high and mighty if they are wearing name brand clothes are you aren't.
Last year I went and I was so embarassed because many of the adults at the party started going off on employees at the bowling alley that we were in. The employees asked the children to please stop running before they get hurt. Well I didn't see anything wrong with that, they weren't rude or anything just trying to do their job. The parents (ghetto females) started going off yelling right their in the bowling alley saying that if kids aren't supposed to run then you shouldn't have kid parties. I love my god son but I don't want to deal with these females again. Should I go to his bday party?

I think you should just grin and bare it. Its his day and i'm sure that he wants to see you there. Just drop in for a couple of minutes and make an excuse as to why you have to leave. Dont let ignorant people stop you from enjoying your god son's birthday party.

I'm a little confused between them wearing name brand clothes & being "ghetto" people. To try to answer your question, I'll ask you--what's more important to you, these people you don't like, or your godson? It's your choice, & the answer should be easy.
Edit: Seems there are a lot of (uniformed) nasty judgements made here. Also seems you have some problems of your own, or you wouldn't react so strongly to their "high & mighty." Additionally, you come across as rather "high & mighty" yourself.
If you're going to have an "anxiety attack" by all means don't go. I suspect your critical attitude is obvious & everyone may have more fun without you. Sorry, but you don't "appear" to be a very tolerant person. I wonder how you got involved with these awful people to be someone's godmother.

It depends on you. Do you love him enough to tolerate those females? If not then go the next day or the day before. If you think that you can handle it then go to the party. Either way, he won't mind if you come the day of or the next day. He'll be so busy at the party that he wouldn't pay much attention anyway. If you go the day after or before you could also have some 1 on 1 time and kids love getting birthday presents early. good luck

Why not ask if instead of coming to the party (where there are sure to be many guests and much confusion) if you could perhaps help out by coming to see the little tyke the day before, bring your present to amuse him, and spend some time with him so his mother can be free to go do any last-minute necessary errands for the party. You will likely be seen as a hero, instead of someone who is trying to avoid an annoying party.

You know... I know what you mean. It seems like these people don't really appreciate you, the fact that you're the godmother and you showed up. These people are ghetto, maybe by you not showing up, they'll ask you why next time they see you. Just come up with a white lie but I think they'll understand, and be more sensitive about the way they're behaving. If they don't change their behaviors, maybe this is the wrong circle of people, classless individuals for you to hang around with. Hey, my birthday is also next month, are you free?

Stop by and at least see him open his present, that will probably make his day, and it is HIS birthday party. Once that is out of the way, if you are not happy with the party you can leave whenever you want.
Just make the appearance for the child.

Don't bother at this age. He just wants to have fun with his friends anyway. He won't mind if your not there. Just go and visit him a few days before/after the party to give him his present in private and have a special one on one visit with him. He'll appreciate it much more.

That's what happens when selfish people are allowed to procreate. They have nothing else in their lives, because they won't get off their butts and actually do the work, so they want to play victim and get irate and loud and cuss someone because they've been "wronged". Don't go. Send them all books on how to be real people.

Just drop by and be busy, give him a special high five or something and a small talk saying "happy birthday, how are you?" and leave after a while. Make up something like you gotta be at work etc.

Yes Sweetie, Yes!!!
You NEED to go! It sounds like he needs you as an example now more than ever.
Please go and be your usual civilized and polite self to show that poor kid that some people do know the proper way to act! I guarantee at some point you will notice him looking at you longingly! Take that moment to give him a wink and a hug and it will work wonders.
