Just a rant

Working as middle class in a government job .

The maid has a grandson . He is 2 years younger than my son...

Being middle class , I tend to celebrate his birthday on a tight budget ... should not exceed 5 K .its the same amount since last 5-6 years .

Mostly a 1 kg cake , 3 to 4 pizza , some potato chips and maybe some home made juice for 10-15 of the neighbour hood kids ..

Her grandson 1 st birthday 1 lakh in a party hall

2 nd birthday onwards the budget is 30K minimum.

Last month there was a medical emergency and they had to borrow money ...the birthday was postponed due to this . Once the mother had recovered in 10 -15 days time , the party was again back on track at a 30K expenditure

I am confused and aghast
