My SD's 3rd birthday is coming up and DH and I are arguing about it because he wants to go overboard compared to past parties for her and our other daughter, my bio daughter who is 5. We are trying to pay off debt and have always given the kids nice parties, but nothing over the top. We decorate with a few balloons and other simple decorations and have a cake of their choice. DH has ordered a cake through a friend and told her no budget, which I have always given her a budget for other bdays. He wants a bouncy house, I said no.
