    Food was a major contributor. She ended up dropping about 400 on that alone. Then there were the decorations etc. We were hosting it in the nearly finished game room so we also had to shell out for some barstools we had been eyeing up for additional seating etc. It was shocking how quickly the money was spent.

    Hope it was worth it I guess.
    This is what I said to her repeatedly. She and I had it out one night last week because I told her cut the shit and tighten up on the spending. She answered that by spending a hundred bones on chicken. It was good chicken at least. Such is life I suppose. Never again will we host another birthday party for him at the house. From here on in it's fucking cake and ice cream and that's it. The only slight defense I can give for her is that we had about 100 people here. Which made me want to hide in the shed in the back yard since I dislike half of them.

    Holy shit, man, that's more like a wedding. Considering the number of people it was honestly pretty cheap.

    That is the exact argument I used. I told her from the start do cake and ice cream and be done. At least he got some pretty fucking cool toys that don't seem like they're going to annoy the shit out of me. And he ended up banking 1k for his savings account.

    I just..can't even fathom this. I'm not judging you but I just can't even imagine dropping that much on a kid's birthday..at all. I have zero maternal instincts though and don't see the point lol.
    Granted when working at the hotel I saw some crazy shit including a 1 year old's birthday with 250 guests that ran upwards of 10k. I guess to each their own..? We just dropped 1900 on my new laptop and that was hard enough..LOL.

    The average cost for a kids party will run you $2-300 these days. That's on the cheap end. The place I used to run was Laser Tag, so our averages were higher in general, but research when putting together marketing for the owner showed me costs are pretty much the same across the board. And parents pay it, without hesitation.

    Always made me wonder how calm a mom is when I tell her that her sons party total was just shy of $800 and they can say charge my card without a hiccup or double take.

    I am neither and I don't really see how what I said gives you that impression. I simply disagree with the attitude that you have towards the meaning of higher education and its purpose. Everything else I said was a response to some things that AidenCarby said that were gross misinterpretations of what I said or massive amounts of assumptions.

    Edit: I would like to point out that I never attacked you but simply disagreed with the statement you made. Calling me names and making assumptions about me seems like a pretty rude jump. Also *loser*

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    And here people were trying to talk me out of taking my daughter to disneyland for her first bday. Shit was like $150.

    We do know people who go all out for kids bdays everyear. Cousin almost the same age as my daughter had a huge bday party for her first, too. She had reject Mickey and Minnie's that came to be with the kids and all.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they spent like 1k easily.

    For us, it's not until the kids are in school that we'll finally do full parties. But even then, fucking Chucky Cheese bitches.

    Gross. If you're going to go to an arcade, at least go to a decent one.

    Not putting proper effort into the things you do is a complete waste of money, time and energy. People who do that are either too young or too stupid to know better. No one has ever achieved anything by half arsine.

    I made another thread to continue the discussion so we don't have to derail this one any further. I will type up a response to this post and post it in that thread.

    GameWorks does too, and it has vastly superior games and significantly fewer tetanus-riddled animatronics.

    For those of you who aren't in the neighborhood of a GameWorks: I'm sorry for your loss.
