[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that's unreasonable given that they are providing some food and presumably planning, setting up, and cleaning up. You can always decline to participate. You can always volunteer to plan the next one and change how it's done.[/quote]

I agree. $20 is not going to cover a couple of burgers with all fixings, sides, as well as the multiple drinks most adults will consume. [/quote]

$20 per person. For hot dogs, hamburgers, ice, and soft drinks?? With lots of other food at the party, most adults aren’t going to eat “a couple of burgers.” And people are making up that the “host” is paying kids to set up tables and chairs.

Fake “host” sounds cheap. At those prices, she is going to wind up with a lot of extra money.

I'm amazed at all the people calling the organizer (not host!) cheap, when apparently OP and her entire neighborhood are vastly wealthy, but kick up an epic fuss at contributing $20. Rich people neighborhoods are the literal worst. No community, no caring, no collaboration, just suspicion, comparison, and condescension. [/quote]

Why do people who have no spirit of generosity or community insist on "hosting" and "doing everyone a favor"? Either you host a party or you don't. Enough with the cheapness and nickle and diming. [/quote]

+1. She wants the credit of hosting and the credit of being lady bountiful and coordinating a block party, but does not want to invest the time, energy or money to do either properly. She cannot even be bothered to set out a sign up sheet to ask people to help clean up and is hiring someone to do it!!![/quote]
