[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My opinion (and I am the type who usually thinks men are too stingy on money for kids and they don’t help enough with the house)  is that your wife is needlessly running herself ragged and that 400 for a one year olds party is too much money. But my opinion isn’t going to help the situation. I wonder there the pressure is coming from? Does she feel like she has to be the perfect mom? Do her friends throw lavish parties foe their kids? Sounds like something is up and it might be best to address that. [/quote]

Read the update - it’s a cultural thing to have a big party so it sounds like all the extended family is coming. Wife wants to rent a hall at their church so it’s not even a kid friendly place.

Reading between the lines it sounds like there’s a lot of pressure on the wife from family who also feel “that it’s no big deal” to have a big party. Since it’s a cultural expectation my guess is OP is Latino or Asian. I’m from one of those cultures and it’s a LOT of work to plan those events. Having a husband who thinks it’s no big deal and I should just suck it up would be infuriating.

Team wife.

P.S. You should look into restaurants with banquet halls. Then all the food is included - so much easier. [/quote]
