I think you and I are having a different view of what a "party" is. I think that party to you means having to rent a place, dress up in expesive party clothes, etc. But to me since I never really have parties anyway, a get-together can already be a party to me.
And like I have already said, all I wanted was to get to get together with friends on my birthday. NOT spend and spend and spend and spend money. I'm not sure where you got that from because I never once said that. I did mention about spoiled kids expecting lots from their parents and I also did say that I didn't expect that from my parents.
What I wanted exactly, and I'll say this AGAIN, is that it would be nice if my friends could come over, we could watch movies (look, we don't even have to go to the theatres because that would be spending more money) and maybe order pizza and have fun. That's pretty much IT. That shouldn't even cost much other than ordering pizza but how much would that even cost? Maybe like less than $10 for a whole pizza. Or maybe another thing we have to pay is for electricity expenses which is for watching a movie but yeah other than that that's pretty much it! And if my parents think $10 is too much then sure I'll just enjoy leftover or canned food with my friends on my birthday and maybe I'll enjoy that even more because we could joke about how bad the food tastes.
This to me, is already considered a "party" or sleeping over can also be called a "slumber party" and these don't require huge expenses other than maybe FOOD which shouldn't cost too much and ELECTRICITY EXPENSES because... ummm yess we're going to have the lights on and possibly the TV
