[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a similar experience, and I bring gifts to a no gifts party. The parents will deal. Let them donate it or throw it in the trash. [/quote] I just don't understand this sentiment -- in this case, you are giving a gift because it makes you feel superior. So your gift giving is not even about the birthday child, it's about you and your superiority complex. How is that good? It's selfish and wasteful. If I knew someone like you, I'd give this right back to your kid at their birthday.[/quote] I don't care. You can give it back if you wish. [b]It's selfish to keep requesting no gifts[/b] when it creates awkwardness where there shouldn't be. People always bring gifts and it makes some of these who don't feel terrible. If you were not selfish and self centered, you'd accept whenever you get and donate it. You'd stop requesting no gifts when you are well aware that this is not the cultural norm. [/quote] wut[/quote]
