Default Re: About Birthdays

*Shrugs*

I obviously have issues with money, but I honestly don't see anything wrong with splurging now that I'm able to. It's not just being dead broke the first 10 years of her life, but also growing up broke/poor myself. I remember the nights where popcorn was all we had for dinner. So if I want to spoil and splurge on my loved ones now that I can, why does that make me so horrible?

If I told my daughter right now that the party is cancelled, she would be dissapointed, but if I told her it was because of lack of funds/money, she would be totally OK with it, I know this because it's happened before and as soon as I say "...no money..." she totally understands.

We actually have downgraded her party already, from having a court of 10 people to having only VIP people. (This prevents me from having to buy the dresses for the girls and renting the tuxes for the guys).
