💨 Abstract

Kids' parties have become increasingly extravagant, with parents facing pressure to keep up. Events like helicopter rides, limousine trips, and elaborate themes are becoming common, but they can be costly and stress-inducing. Leah, a single mum, feels the financial strain of hosting a zoo party for her son. Charlotte, a mum of three, recalls extravagant parties that left some children out due to high costs.
