We received an invitation in the mail that looked fancier than a recent wedding invitation from a friend. It's to be held at a posh establishment. He needs a tuxedo for the event. And I'm to take him to a "rehearsal" for some kind of something they are going to play out at this party.
I guess I'll play along and rent the fucking tuxedo.
Grrrrr.....
Even if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't go all out like this for a 15th bday. I can't imagine what her sweet 16 bday will be like.
Tell them to get fucked, what kind of asshole parents do that shit?
I spent $4,700 on my daughter's bday two years ago, it was a big deal for her but I made sure the other parents didnt have to pay a cent nor go out of their way. I had to hire two mini vans plus drivers from a place whose drivers were cleared to work with children by the cops (because it was far from our area/school so saved parents driving there) etc plus hire out an entire olympic sized indoor pool center (wasnt even the main cost)
It actually cost more than I spent, my parents kicked in some as part of their gift, Id say $6,000 all up and now I dont even get a hug when dropping her to school the little bastard
