DS 1 & 2 have been invited to a birthday party in a couple of weeks time. it consists of softplay, lunch and handling small animals.
was looking forward to it as although the boys are young (1 and 2) they love softplay and all animals so although the party is 90mins drive from my home, we were looking forward to seeing my friend and her LO.
got a phone call today to confirm we were going and that it would cost £5.50 for each of us (me included) to cover the cost of entry to the place and lunch. including fuel and a present, the day is going to cost me the best part of £50.
Now maybe i'm being old fashioned but when you invited someone to a party, you then didnt tell them how much they had to pay.
I have been asked to work overtime at work that day and am tempted to make our excuses although I know the boys would be missing out.
go on, tell me how unreasonable i am being.
