'For a generation that doesn't care about norms, their version of prom sure looks like an over-the-top dating show.'

Well, I refuse to partake in the prom madness. I don't care how old it makes me look. You will not find me shelling out hundreds of dollars so my son can ask someone to prom with balloons and flowers. I will not convince him he needs to ask someone in front of a crowd or put on a production. And I will not make my daughter think that’s how she should be asked to prom. I will not buy a wedding dress for prom, but I am more than happy to buy my daughter a reasonably-priced dress.
