[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not like my birthday and never want to celebrate it. My mother wants to have a "special birthday dinner" with the family. I do not want this and told her that. "No thank you. I really don't want to celebrate my birthday." She said "What about just a nice dinner then?" I don't trust her to not sneak in some birthday referencing. How do I say no in a way that makes her hear me? [/quote] Repeat "no thank you." But then schedule an alternative plan right then and there, so that you guys spend time together and she doesn't feel like you're shunning her. "Mary, I really don't like celebrating my birthday, so I'm going to say no to even the 'nice dinner.' But Larla has been wanting to see 'Finding Dory' for a while now. Can we go see that with her next Sunday? I'll buy the popcorn."[/quote]
