A mum has sparked a heated debate among parents after charging £25 to attend her daughter's birthday party, while still expecting partygoers to bring a gift.

On Mumsnet, one angry mother wrote: ''My 10-year-old daughter has been invited out for a friend's birthday, there's about 10 of them going and we've only been given two days notice.

''The mum messaged me and asked if she could go, to which I said yes, she then replied with a price it would cost. Altogether I'm going to be expected to pay around £25.

''Maybe this is a done thing but I personally wouldn't dream of inviting my daughter's friends to a party and asking for a contribution!

''If I couldn't afford for her to do something with that many friends we wouldn't do it or we'd cut the guest list down.''
