[quote=Anonymous]The problem is that these families are lavishing their own children with everything the child wants, then when the party comes, get all control-freak on everyone and say that they don't want any gifts. I too used to be of this mindset and even had a no-gift party for my kid once. Then I realized that I was the bigger problem of accumulating too much stuff in our lives, not the yearly birthday party.

Not at all, or at least not totally.  My daughter goes to a school where kids come from a wide range of economic backgrounds.  When she has a party and invites kids from her class, buying a gift would be an imposition on the parents, and some might not even come if they didn't feel like they could bring a gift.  No one wants that.  (Plus, your advice is "don't buy your kids stuff so you can have a gift party?"  Seriously?  That's - effed up.)

And, OP - no-gift parties are crippling our kids' moral development?  Are you high?  How about teaching your kids not to be greedy little shits?
