Reply #42: $650 i would absolutely say no to. i would pay a small amount, anything beyond

they can pick it up with their own money.

i dont have an issue saying no. or if i think it is frivolously spending money saying no to.

last year 3rd grade son wanted a yearbook to go to yearbook party. $20. they have parents spend so much all year for so many uncalled for things. i always go beyond my part because i have empathy for the family struggling not able to get it or those with lots of kids. the pta did the buy a yearbook and get to go to party. i was sooooo mad. end of year, a whole year of money from parents and now they bribe the kids with a party. what about all those kids whose parents cant afford a damn $20 year ook and kid not get to go.

i told kid no

he was mad, upset, wanted to go really bad. told him not a chance cause too many kids that cant afford would be left out and i wouldnt be a part of it

lesson, only a lesson, a lesson for my son and him doing without cause what pta did was wrong

it isnt hard to say no to my kids. when i feel a lesson is there

i would not spend that money at a prom

i would add in $25 bucks, but i would not pay for a limo
