We are taking our 2 kids, 6 & 9, to Legoland CA the second week of June for 3 days (only bought park tickets for 2). Staying in the castle. Any recommendations, must dos, tips/hacks? Do we need fast passes? Thank you!!!
I need a gut check because this really bothered me. More than bothered - infuriated.
My daughter’s school, Oakwood Elementary, is doing a fundraiser where kids who donate $100 get invited to a cotton candy party. That feels like a pretty clear divide between kids whose families can afford to give and those who can’t.
What bothers me most is how this lands for the kids. They’re going to notice who gets to go and who doesn’t, and the ones left out aren’t thinking about family finances—they’re just going to feel excluded. No kid wants to hear their friends talk about a fun party they weren’t invited to.
It also puts pressure on parents to stretch financially just so their child isn’t the one left out.
I called the principal and she didn’t think it was a big issue.
Am I overreacting?
