They are spoilt brats. I couldnt believe it when i saw what they got as pressies never mind the parties ... Ok one of them instead of pressies from her mates got them to donate money to a charity but the others .....

Im just glad i dont have kids and expected to give a party like that.

They live in another world, don't they?

The parents obviously have a lot of money so in comparison to us they probably only spent on their daughters' birthdays what we spend on ours. £11,000 to them will be like £100 to us.

I don't think the children of any of us would ever expect presents/parties like that.

Mine certainly won't anyway. I read in the Observer about stretch limos picking up 7 year olds for birthday parties and I think how ridiculous at that age.....what will they be doing for their 18th?
