We’re pretty solidly entrenched in the lower middle class, but we live in a strange area where my kids go to school with a lot of kids who have lots of money. My butthole puckers when they get invited to rich kid parties because I just want to whip my pistol out and start shooting all the fucking inflatable bounce houses, slides, camels, belly dancers, etc!! We so suck at parties that it’s comical. Luckily, our kids are pretty ok with mediocrity so far. These two parties are outrageous. How do you clean up all that sand anyway? I think mom wins because hers was first and the snow melts on its own.
