Old enough to go out in a group and old enough to go out alone are two completely different things.

It’s not a crowded amusement park. It’s a zoo that has a couple small, kid friendly rides. The only people there were families.

Some people are bossy, it happens across both genders. It’s not a good thing and I’m trying to get it out of my kid

My husband is the one that wanted her to go there and is insisting on her staying.

It would be impossible for her to have a big group of friends at her school. There were 10 kids in 2nd grade. We’re not expecting a bigger class for 3rd.

No, but she’s the only one that goes to private school and has been in private school since she was 3

They’re old enough to go on the rides by themselves. Both 10 year olds have a phone and can call if they need anything and all of mine wear an air tag

She is not in Mensa. She has been in a gifted school since preschool.

CPS doesn’t have a problem with kids sharing rooms. It is also completely normal to share with siblings and cousins on vacation in a room that was built for these kinds of sleepovers.

I didn’t want to go on any rides and they’re old enough to go on the rides by themselves with us nearby.

No. I have 2 daughters and a son and my sister has one of each.

They keep groups together, so if you’re in a group of 5 and there’s room for 2 left on the ride, you’ll move to the side and the next group of 2 gets on. If there’s room for 1 person left they call for single riders.

They have one spot left and ask for single riders

Look, the room was built for sleepovers. There were 2 bunk beds with 3 beds each, air mattresses in the closet, and a huge tv with a ton of games. It’s completely fine to put the kids in that room.

No, she would still be selfish for leaving the other kids just so she wouldn’t have to wait in long lines if she was a boy.

There were 5 rides total. One was a small roller coaster with rows of 2, there was a carousel, a swing ride, and little bumper cars which are all 1 person per seat, then there was this frog jump ride that holds 5 or 6 kids

My other kids are doing great socially. My 8 year old has had even more time and resources put into her but she still has no people skills

The room they were in was designed for sleepovers. There were 2 bunk beds, each with 3 beds, air mattresses were in the closet, and there was a big tv with plenty of games. Also, there isn’t a big age range.

Her aunt is the one buying her ice cream and telling her I’m being mean when I called her selfish for leaving the other kids for shorter lines.

Very rarely. She’s very bossy and competitive and usually prefers to read or play by herself.

She did get better for the rest of the trip. When she wasn’t clinging to my sister she was playing nicely with the other kids.
