It’s become ridiculous with some (not all, I stress). This need to compete, outdo, etc, at huge cost. Why? Also, how do these parents that do it, afford it?
My parents simply told me they couldn’t afford it if I asked for something they couldn’t afford. I accepted it (had no choice, I suppose. If I’d sulked, it wouldn’t have changed anything - if it couldn’t be afforded, it didn’t happen).
I think I attended one birthday tea party, if memory serves me right (it’s a long time ago 😁), and I recall having one tea party for a birthday with a limited number of friends, never the whole class). I seem to have grown up relatively undamaged by such restrictions!!
Scottish political mess. Is Devolution working?
I’m finished my festival poncho
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
