Party Party

Just when you think you've seen it all, check out the new show "Party Party" on Bravo. It is all about people planning over the top parties. I just watched two women spend $5000 each on birthday parties for their five year old daughters. Amazing!

This reminds me of catching a glimpse of the site of one expensive birthday party that any one of us would probably be thrilled to throw for one of our kids...

We were in the MK one February night in 2002. The park was closing and we were trying to walk out through the castle. They had the whole area blocked off with ropes, and CM's turning people away to go around. Behind the ropes were beautifully decorated tables and chairs set up, as if ready for a party to begin. I asked a CM what was going on and he said the place was rented out for a little girl's birthday party. I asked who, and he would only say "someone with a whole lot of money".

Would that be a blast, or what?

I regret not taking a picture of it.

There was another episode that featured two single moms planning Sweet 16 parties for their daughters. One of the moms was a medical transcriptionist. She planned on spending $10,000 on her daughter's party. I didn't catch what the other mom did, but the daughter's inital plan would have cost $35,000. Her mom said it was too much and she would have to cut it back to $20,000. The daughter through a little fit saying it was her party and she didn't want to give anything up.

Spoiled?

I guess so. Can you imagine. How about saving the money for them as a down payment on a house later on.

does'nt surprise me-when the majority of "low end" kids birthday parties run the parents a few hundred (chuck e cheese is like 13.00 per kid plus the cost of pizza/drinks for parents, extra tokens (have yet to go to one where parents have stuck with the few the package gives each kid), bowling alley is around 9.00 per kid plus provide your own cake, extra pizza, goodie bags...even the neighborhood ones held at home seem to include a bounce house at a minimum-$95.00 per day rental) and they move on to the "spa parties" and paintball parties, etc. as the kids get older the kids develop a sense of entitlement to bigger and better as they age.

I did catch a glimpse of that "My Super Sweet Sixteen" show. Talk about excessive! I couldn't believe it.

Geez, and there I thought I was really living it up having a few friends over for pizza on my 16th birthday!

Good grief! And here I thought I was nuts for spending almost $400 on my daughters 13th bday. I paid for things at different times, so I didn't realize just how much it was at first. I took her and 4 of her friends to Kings Island in Ohio and spent 2 nights in a suite. Nothing too major really, but it added up in the end. My girls love to watch the Sweet 16 show on MTV. I've caught a few minutes of it before and I would never put up with those kids on that show.

I dont have a problem with the parents spending that type of money on their kids. If they can afford it, so be it. What I do have a problem with is how spoiled rotten those kids are. They act like they deserve everything under the sun, treat others like they are beneath them, treat their parents like they are nothing, and complain about not getting everything they want. UGH! The kids on these shows are brats (want to say worse but I wont). Sure they make good tv because its addicting to watch how nasty they behave. But in real life its pathetic.

I completely agree, with money its all relative, but these kids and their attitudes that is a whole different story.
