My son was in a private preschool program this year. One of the parents in charge of communication with the rest of the parents said she wanted to have a graduation/year-end party at her house, most other parents agreed that would be nice.
A little background on this mom - family is super rich, like Chet is probably a peasant to these people, Dad prob makes $5M a year, they have two cars each over $100k and a house and yard easily worth $7-$8M (along with a house in the Hamptons)...
Anyways, the party is Sunday - Mom sent out an email to the other families today stating they went over budget bc they hired entertainers/musicians/and all types of other unnecessary stuff. She is asking for a contribution of $40 a family. While it is $40 and whatever, it feels extremely obnoxious, especially given their insane financial status. We've been friends with this family since each of our kids were roughly 6 months old and still participate in a lot of similar family outings with them. With that being said, I'm struggling to bite my tongue. How would you handle? I'm prob gonna pay and just bite my tongue, but WTF?
