When did kids’ birthday parties turn into the Olympics of parenting?

Between balloon arches, themed backdrops, and $500 venue minimums, it’s easy to feel like love is measured in how much you spend.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:
• The real cost of “keeping up”
• Why kids don’t need over-the-top to feel celebrated
• Simple ways to cut costs without killing the fun
• And how to ditch the mom guilt that comes with scaling back

If your kid smiles, nobody ends up in urgent care, and you don’t cry in the bathroom — you’ve earned your bronze medal. Remember - bronze still gets you a place on the podium.
