[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's ridiculous. And I feel embarrassed for people who do it. We certainly don't ignore birthdays. We celebrate with family. There is always cake. Big parties for adults are cringe-worthy. [/quote] See I agree for run of the mill birthdays but I think milestone ones should be celebrated. Especially 50 for some reason - 75 and 100 are other good ones but who knows what shape we all be in by then? And, i too have had friends die young so for me it's a celebration of life and a time to actually reflect and be grateful for all the good things I have, figure out where I've screwed up and make plans/goals for the coming years. If I do celebrate on a milestone - if folks join...great. If not, I'm fine. To each your own. But, I like birthdays. I do dislike the fact that my parents and ILs use birthdays and anniversaries as way to guilt trip family into trips/activities/etc.[/quote] OP said she celebrates milestones.[/quote]
