April 26, 201313 yr I think it sounds kind of cool. Sure, if you're into smothering your children. Otherwise, it's just plain weird.
April 26, 201313 yr Sure, if you're into smothering your children. Otherwise, it's just plain weird. Reminds me of that awful show Toddlers and Tiaras. Worst show ever.
April 26, 201313 yr Proms are a lot like auctions. We: a) buy things we don't need 2) with money we don't have d) to impress people we don't like
May 3, 201313 yr She gone. Total cost (dress, nails, tan, flowers, make-up) $300. The look on the lucky fella's face when he saw her? Way more than $1100!
May 4, 201313 yr Sure, if you're into smothering your children. Otherwise, it's just plain weird. At the school I teach at, many parents and community members come out to watch the kids walk in (we have our prom on a college campus). The kids like the "red carpet" feel that they get, as people snap photos and gush over them. It's not just parents.
May 4, 201313 yr The KD's (shoes) my brother is wearing tonight cost more than his tux and tickets combined. :ohbrother:

May 4, 201313 yr I think you get some moms who are living vicariously through their daughter when it comes to prom spending. Chalk my wife up for this one. :sssh: But came nowhere near $1,100, for that matter not even $250. She did work the after prom last night at NewCath and didn't get home till after 4:30 a.m. She just got up about 2 hours ago and said she 15-20 years ago staying up that late was no problem, but today......:no:

The kids like the "red carpet" feel that they get, as people snap photos and gush over them. It's not just parents. That's how I thought it would be. Not smothering but celebrating. And not just your own kid, but all of them. Especially when you have watched so many go from awkward middle school years to fine looking young adults.
May 5, 201313 yr Let's see, my son's tux was $70, tickets were free, and he bought the flowers and paid for everything else with his own money. Blossom's dress was a brides maid dress Mrs. S's sister wore for our wedding, that's what she wanted. Alterations were about $50. The guy who took her to the prom hefted the bill for all else. I love my kids. :thumb:
