The following rant was promoted by an article on kid’s birthday
parties that I recently read.
Kid’s birthday parties should cost under $50, actually they should
cost under $25 but I’m feeling generous.
What is it with parents taking kids to places like;
build-a-badger, laser tag, bowling alleys, gun clubs, fashion shows etc…Did
they have such deprived childhood’s that they have to live through their kid’s?
Are they guilty about something? Wusses who can’t say no?
These are the same people you hear complain about never
having enough money as they are heading to the mall in their leased car to shop.
Well, duh. Waah, waah waah, someone call the waahmbulance.
Party-bags?! Really? We just fed and entertained your
sugared-up brats for 3 hours and now we have to give out a party-bag! What’s
that you say? You gave my kid a gift? Well no sugar Sherlock, it’s his birthday
you douche. But you know what? We don’t really need any gifts; we have enough junk
in our house already. But if you want a party-bag for your kid filled with
dollar store crapolla, then fine, enjoy. I hope that in the middle of the night
you step on some small plastic pieces while walking around barefoot.
So tell me what’s the deal with inviting tons of kids? I
hear of parents inviting their kid’s entire school class so no one’s feelings
get hurt. Hey kid, you were not invited because my kid thinks you are a
booger-eating-goober. Get over it, that’s life. Thank God my kids are homeschooled.
My kids get a party from ages 5 thru 10. And that’s it. And they get to invite
one friend for each year old they are.
Social media like; Facebook, Instagram and Vine just make
matters worse. People post all their self-indulgent pictures and videos of
events like birthday parties. They are just showing you a small slice of life.
The good life, through a rose colored internet. They want you to think that
everything is all peaches and cream. When underneath the peaches are rotting
and cream is curdling. Guess what? You might be fooling others and even
yourself for a while, but you ain't fooling us.
Gift registries for kid’s birthdays, really? I’m speechless.
Some of the more outrageous themes in the article: ice sculptures,
snow machine parties (for backyard sledding), karaoke bar, live animals, spa
parties (yes at a spa). In that light hauling a bunch of brats to the bowling
alley or Chucky E. Cheese is kinda quaint, still stupid, but quaint.
Be careful. You give your little girl a 5th birthday party
that costs $500 and you are gonna have a helluva bill when the princess gets
married. And you sure aren’t doing your future son-in-law any favors.
