Wonder what was in that party sack lunch for 15 BP? Hmmm, water cress and? . If she had the :juggling: to bill for the sack lunch, why didn't she shove the party lunch in the kid's backpack for him or Mom to "enjoy"

Do you know what, the mother should have paid the money for the missed birthday (assuming she was paying for all the kids) and the father should have taken both boys to a roller skating rink or some other fun activity to make up for his son missing the day (and footed the bill), that way both boys stay friends and both parents end up paying similar amounts for fun activities, and happy faces all round.
The wee gaffer went to Gramma's house instead of the birthday party. I say, let the parents duke it out in the alley. God bless the little boy. He's Gramma's best little darling.![]()
As some of you may have already seen, the following article was published yesterday. We would like all our customers to know that this invoice has nothing to do with Plymouth Ski and Snowboard Centre. No invoices are ever sent out from the centre to private individuals. This is a disagreement between the two parents involved and the fact that the centre has been named on the invoice is fraudulent.
When booking a party there is a small deposit to pay on booking, confirmation of numbers and final balance are due 48hrs before the party. On the extremely rare occasion that people don't attend parents are generally offered other activities in compensation.
Plus, the party mom is arguing with the wrong people. Why did the party venue charge her 15 pounds for a sack lunch? I cannot see what other costs they were out by the kid not showing up. They were ripping off party mom and she is taking it out on the other family. lol
The poor kids how upsetting and embarrassing this unnecessary drama is. I've sort if had this happen to me! I was invited to a birthday dinner but became sick that night so contacted the host and made my apologies. I received an angry email the next day demanding that I pay a portion of the dinner bill ($40) as they decided to split the bill as though I was present. I didn't know these people very well as I had just moved to the town..
More children's birthday related madness:

It is TACKY to expect the guests to pay. When I took kids to see a Disney movie when my kid was turning 6, WE PAID for the tickets and a popcorn. I didnt expect them to pay. When we took them to BuildABear, we paid for a basic bear. If they wanted more then 2 extras, it was on them.
But you don't throw a kids Bday party and expect the guests to pay.
ugly or what.......
once again -- 2 wrongs not making it right
((but secretly am chuckling---asking for $$ for your kid's birthday gift? tacky))
Nope, sorry, just tacky! If you can't afford to get your child the present they want that's too bad. Noone else should be mandated to fund an extravagant gift.:snooty:I'm torn on the matter. On a practical (and environmental) level, having everyone chip in a small amount for a present the child wants has it's merits over receiving 30 pieces of tat that are likely to sit on the shelf. On the other hand, I do baulk slightly at what this teaches the children.
I mainly shared the article for the funny poll at the bottom, though.
