I heard someone on the radio yesterday say that kids' birthday parties these days are expected to have things like bouncy houses and performers, or to be held at an event location with games and such. I'm not all that old and, when I was growing up, it was only the richest kids who got that stuff.

I don't know whether the statement was true, but I hope it wasn't. You don't need to spend all that to have a good kids' party.

I hear this all the time but nearly every birthday party my kids have been invited to has just been at someone's home.

Oof you weren't growing up in Connecticut... Everything had to be event and everything had to be 200% better than the last kid's party

Edit: I'm also the kid that invited 2-3 people to my birthdays because people suck
