    I was a youngster not that long ago (or I still like to think I am ;) ) If it were me I'd like to do a nice romantic meal and drinks with my OH... I feel I'm maybe a bit low key now :o

    I blame sweet 16, TOWIE, the kids unrealistic hopes and dreams, never had anything like this in my day but my day was such a long time ago:rotfl::rotfl:

    Teenagers have no manners these days, not had any definite introductions, neither party made any effort, the kids are well into each other, the parents are an embarrassment :rotfl:

  • Reminded me of friends of ours, last summer their daughter was 16 and wanted a bit of a party. She was realistic and knew they didn't have money to waste on a Big Party. She just wanted a few friends over for nibbles and music, no more. Her parents borrowed a marquee/tent from us, and some barbeques from friends, her Dad plays in a local band so he and a few friends rehearsed some classic corny songs... It was a big surprise for her and her friends when they came back from Pizza Express and there was a marquee in the garden with all their friends....!

    Nothing.

    If she wants to organise a meal out, I'd happily go along but I'm not a magic moneybox.
  • And is your DS really going to want a party with his mates and parents there as well?

    It's celebrating life, love, departing friendship, a soon to be birthday, even writing it down makes me laugh:rotfl: that's youngsters for you

    Isn't that what you usually do with your friends, not with your olds tagging along?
