Prom car issues

[Donut22]

Aibu to drive my son to prom.... Bear in mind he is happy with this, he isn't a flashy person he would hate to be the centre of attention and also I haven't got the funds!!
I was speaking to someone out side the school yesterday and it's just bothered me I said I was taking him, her reply was "well I got my girl a Lambo" 🙄am I really going to be the only parent to drive their child to school in our normal car? It's an old car but still looks ok with a carwash 😅

I left school 29 yrs ago in 95
We had no prom....or even leavers party. It was something we thought only happened in America.
2 yrs later I had a 6th form leavers ball (and later lots of uni balls) and my sister had a "prom" when she left school 25yrs ago....but I don't know if we actually called them proms.

I think they became more popular in early 2000s.

My daughter was driven there in a normal car, wearing an absolutely stunning second hand dress (£15 from eBay). She had a great time. They are 16, don't overthink it and definitely don't spend more than you can afford. Parents who spend several hundred pounds on one night for a 16 year old have more money than sense.
