[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS turned 7 and every year I say the same thing, these parties are so expensive by the time I rent the party/play space, get pizza, cake and snacks! but it's fun for our son and we celebrate his baby sister birthday at the same party. Does anyone else feel like this? I am not hurting for money but geez, now I know why my parents never had friend parties and just had family celebrate at the house growing up! Good thing this is a once a year event! [/quote]

Sounds like your parents were level headed and refused to be followers and braggers. [/quote]

Translation:  This responder is passively aggressively calling you a follower and a braggart.  [/quote]

Well, she has a point. This is self inflicted suffering. You do not need to have a birthday party. You simply don't. If you don't like doing it, you're only doing it to put on a show for others. The End. [/quote]

Um, how about that you're doing it for your kid??? If all the other kids are having their birthday parties at cool bounce house places and you're just having yours at your house or park without even an entertainer, the kid is going to feel embarrassed and lame. Don't pretend that kids in this age group (6-12) don't notice these things.[/quote]

When I was a kid, I didn't want parties. I preferred something at home with just close family and my cousins. Don't speak for all kids. [/quote]
