[quote=Anonymous]Pretty important- maybe a 6 or a 7? I don't expect strangers, coworkers or even friends to acknowledge. But I expect my dh to plan activities for the weekend, special dinner on my birthday night, dessert, donuts on birthday morning. I expect my kids to acknowlege it (they're little- so no gifts). I'm not into gifts at all (and dh is BAD at gifts, so I would rather have nothing). My parents usually give me a nice gift that's thoughtful and something I love (my mom knows my taste).

To me, birthdays are a much bigger deal than Christmas and you get more presents. My son's birthday is this weekend. I decorated the house with a banner, set the dining room up for his special birthday dinner, hung paper lanterns inside near the banner and put the wrapped gifts on display. He gets donuts on his birthday morning and a special dinner he chooses. Then there's a party with friends and extended family and sometimes another activity with our family too (we're going to the zoo).

Somethign I think is weird about dh's family is that they don't acknowledge birthdays very much. Maybe a card? But on Christmas they spend about $400 on each of us. It's over the top and I wish the two were a bit more balanced.[/quote]
