Snack Shopping Spree Part 1

Hi, I am Arveno from Surabaya city. in this content i want to share our preparation..errr, i think it is better to say that my wife preparing birthday party to my son. I dont know much about this birthday party. What i know is just send some money to spend for my son birthday party. This year me and my wife decided not make big birthday party for my son. Yeah just only celebrate on school and giving his friends snacks as hampers. I decided like that because this is the last year my son can celebrate his birthday at school since next year he will started on Elementary school which is usually on Elementary school when birthday would celebrate outside school.

So, We need to buy snacks to fill in the hampers. And we decided buying on local mart near my house.

Ahhh, i forgot to to say, we are not make this birthday surprise party. So, my son was still involved in planning his birthday. I dont like surprise party becauseI don't know if my plan fits their mood or not. And if not fits with their mood, it can destroying the vibes of the Birthday party right. Thats why i dont like Surprise party. However, since my son involved in his birthday party so he will choose what snacks did he want to give to his friends.

What makes my son confused this time because he can pick anything he want. Usually me and my wife restrict what he want to buy. I will always checking the ingredients and Nutritions Facts. If the sugar level is too high usually i dont buy the snacks, or if the ingredients is not too good for my son health, i will not buy it too. But, this time I let my child choose all the snacks he wants.

At first he want to pick Chips for his Friends and he asking me and my wife it is fits if he gives Chips??? since i usually strict him eating chips only once in 2 weeks.

It turns out that he still considering to give his friend healthy snacks but the taste are bad or give his friends unhealthy snacks but the taste are really tasty. He weighs whether to sin or to be respected. Since when he gives healthy snacks, he will not get respect or rather losing some fame in his friends circle. But, if he gives the unhealthy snacks. He will feeling guilty for giving the unhealthy snacks to his friend and might causing sick later to his friends.
What shock me is why he can think like that. He just 5 years old. I dont know that Youtube can influence like this. But, truthfully i am really proud that he can think that way.

In the end, he does want to lose his friends circle. And still giving the unehalthy snacks. I just said thats okay since it just once in a year maybe.
And yeah this shopping spree is took to long. I dont know what else my wife want to buy. She just said i need to back and forth to take away all goods to home and come back again. Thats why when they are shopping i just waiting outside while playing my Splinterlands account on mobile phone

Okay after going back and forth thrice. Finally this shopping spree is ended.

But my wife said today is still the first batch. There are many snacks that running out. Thats the second surprise i got. I dont even know how much this cost. I think it is over than my budget. I still dont want to asking to my wife. It will trigger mini world war zone in my house if i am asking her. But, my duty is just gives her money and increasing budgeting without grumping. But, after my son birthday i will discussing with my wife and grumping at that time if i am not forgot. Usually after i send money i dont look back again and just forget it. I can find new money with working.
And yet i still dont know what kind of party it will be. And what my wife buy for the party. Maybe i will ask her later or i rather be surprised when see it by myself at due time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIVER... I used to this before when my daughter is having a birthday we usually shops food to give to the kids but now I guess I can't do it anymore the prices here in the philippines are all going up. Her birthday is on the 19th of this month and I have no plans yet due to scarcity of resources. maybe we could celebrate it simpler than before.

Yes, I agree with your thoughts on giving a surprise birthday party that might not be appreciated because it was not what they wanted. It was a day of freedom for him as he was allowed to pick the snacks from the store. He weighed in two scenarios... t's amazing that he was able to think that way considering his age. May your family have a fun and memorable b-day party for your son.

Happy Birthday to your son! Well, being not a fan of throwing surprise parties is reasonable. Your son seemed to be actually enjoying being part of the preparation for his birthday celebration. It's better to involve the celebrant than to go wrong with a surprise thing that he wouldn't be so happy about. What's important is that he is happy and can feel valued during his special day.

A practical and thoughtful decision. Celebrating at school with some snacks for his classmates is still a lovely way to make him feel special.❤️

So it’s great that he still gets to enjoy one with his classmates. It may be simple, but it’s something he’ll remember.
