[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 414475, member: 1514"] With your income why isnt she on reduced lunch? Your husband is her step father and you dont work? I would think she would qualify. Just a thought. OMG at the price of cigs too. I would have to quit...lol. I couldnt pay close to a hundred bucks a carton. I get mine for 28 bucks a carton. Sheesh. No wonder all those New Yorkers stockpile when they stop here...lol. I see them go out of here with two or three huge boxes of the cartons. I could probably make a fortune running cigs up and down 95! Jena...I do think you need to start thinking about what you can really afford to do instead of what is popular to do with kids. Do all kids want cars when they graduate? Sure. Do they need them? No. Is it nice to have a big shindig for a graduation? I guess. Would it be perfectly satisfactory to have family to dinner to celebrate? I think so. I have had two kids graduate HS and we took each of them out to a nice dinner with my Dad and step-mom. Actually my mom also came to Billy's graduation too. We all went out to a nice steakhouse. When Jamie graduated, it was just my Dad and step-mom down because my mom was already in the nursing home. Again we went to a nice restaurant. Oh...Cory went to the state mental hospital for the occasion. LOL. Same friggen night! When Jamie graduated Boot Camp...that was a real big deal in our family and everyone we could manage to get there attended. Again...my dad and step-mom came. We took him out for a nice dinner. Had a big picnic on base too. Never have we held huge parties. Now that isnt to say that maybe someday we wont. I kind of have an inkling that Keyana's mom is going to want to go all out for her 16th birthday. Just call it a hunch...lol. I hope I am around to be there. If Cory ever gets his GED, goes to college and graduates...I will throw him the biggest party this side of texas! But I think I can safely say I dont need to go to Party City any time soon...lol.
