[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teens  have multiple parties spread through the week. .

Party 1 -  Tiny birthday cake or dessert at midnight. everyone in PJs and the birthday kid/adult gets hugs and kisses. They get 1K from us.

Party 2 - All the family go for a dinner at a fancy restaurant  (around 15 people) . Food, drinks, the works.  He gets some cash gifts from older relatives.

Party 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 - he is treating all his different groups of friends to movies, dinners, lunches, trips, activities etc.  some modest cash gifts. Usually between $25 - $50, but mostly just birthday cards etc.

some groups treat him to a meal. That is their tradition. I really like that.

This is classic DCUM.   :lol:

OP, I like the idea of giving him a budget and letting him figure it out. Lao let him know that if he hosts multiple gatherings at your house, he’s responsible for cleaning up before and after for all of them after the first one. I wouldn’t force him to have a large cookout with everyone there. He wants intimate time with various friends instead of awkward subgroups all keeping to themselves at one get-together. [/quote]
