The "Me" generation in full bloom ... If the parents of this spoiled kid want to flip the bill for the majority of her party, then who am I to criticize. But 10K on a drunken bender is a waste too me.

Is the prom the most overhyped, overblown, overrated thing on earth?

And as for Seventeen commenting on the importance of prom to these girls, gee, I guess they had noooothing to do with promulgating this attitude? ha!

I've also never understood formals where the kids spend all that money to dress us elegantly and then they're going to be grinding to 50-Cent and Yellowcard. It makes no sense. The Hungarian or Vienna Debutante Ball it ain't.

Seriously! I've long said that when my son is old enough to drive, he'll drive whatever he can afford to buy for himself! If I won't spend $10K to get him a new car, why in h@## would I pay $10K for a weekend of debauchery?

On that note, my whole wedding cost about what her dress did, and I sold my Chevy Blazer to pay for it. After we were married we drove a used Ford Fiesta for the next three years.
