Full Month Party

Okay... Here's my take on full month parties.

Yes yes yes its time to show off your new born baby to the world and celeberate the new addition to your life. A time where friends and family can get together and go "ga ga" and "goo goo" over this little precious life that has brought you so much happiness.

But I can not help but think there is another dimension to these full month parties. Here's why:

1) It's time to recycle those gift's you got on your child's full month party. Gift's that you never got to use because by the time you got those gifts your child has already out grown the outfits.

2) It's time to show off your own children and show the world what a great job you have done. It's confirmation and recognition of your great parenting skill. You dress the poor child in the cutest but most uncomfortable of outfits, you make the poor kid say hi to everyone and do stupid tricks. For those with chubby babies it's a plus because you are obviously doing something right.

3) It's time for the mothers to check out who has the latest "it" bag, coolest watch and who manage to stay the thinnest. The super mum that has managed to keep it all together. The fat obedient child. Immaculately dressed and groomed and still a fashionista.

4) It's time for the fathers to show the world how involved they are in the upbringing of their child and at the same time bitch about the amount of money they spent on these kids.

5) Lastly, it's time to try and profit from the birth of your child by throwing lavish parties and hope that the cash gifts that you receive will be more than cost of the party.

A rather morbit opinion about a happy occasion. But hey....... this is life and the truth hurts.
