Is this a load of middle class toss?

Daughter is 5 next month. The wife(who doesn't work but think's that money is something that the cash point fairy just conjours up) has booked the local church hall.

4 hours at £15 per hour. OK. Sorted with that.

And hired a bouncy castle. £60. Fine with that

And booked a children entertainer and magician. £200 for two hours. WTF! £100 PER HOUR!!

And paid caterers to do the food £120!!!! WTF £120 for the a childrens ******* party!

£440 for a four hour childrens party!!! WTF!!!!

Is this excessive? She thinks that's what it should cost!

She's only 5 once

I wonder if Sas's nanny does tricks?

Bollocks. It is too expensive. (IMHO)

Yep, she does.

Can't your wife just make some food. Kids won't eat much, will they? A few rice krispie cakes and some jelly tots, crisps and sausages on sticks.

Kids aren't exactly discerning when it comes to party food.

I think it's be Bouncy Castle or Entertainer/Magician. Not both.

But then I've no kids, so no idea really.

Sounds a bit more like it. Smart price crisps, squash, frozen pizzas, bob the builder cake. Job done.

It's cheaper than divorce.

Assuming you have more than £880 left.

Only adults should get both.

Duh. Exactly. It doesn't take a genius to see that does it. I mean you've spotted it correctly.

Jeez. It was only a few years ago that a freaking cardboard box would keep a child amused. For Suity's kids. I think it probably still does.
