[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up I had local grandparents and far away grandparents. Far away set sent a card with money and called me on the phone.

Local grandparents had 6 kids and 10 grandkids plus a lot of family friends, neighbors, and farm hands that all were treated like family. At the local grandparents, dinner was served every Sunday at 6pm. On the first Sunday of the month, my Grandma made a sheet cake and we sang happy birthday to whoever was there that had a BD that month. I don’t remember ever getting a card or gift from that side of the family - just cake and the joy of being celebrated. 
My grandma did have a “signature dessert” for each of her children and their spouse. On their month we would have sheet cake + however many signature desserts were needed for the months’ celebrants. My dad always got banana cake with chocolate frosting.

That was then, this is now.

If DD wants to go to NYC, what kind of creep would be angry at her for doing that? It's her birthday, not the grandparents' birthday![/quote]
