[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont like birthday parties and I don't have them. My kids have quit asking and it's fantastic! [/quote]
Future DCUM poster: my narc mom didn’t like birthday parties so we were never allowed to have them. She never listened or cared about what we wanted, so we stopped asking. Can anyone relate?[/quote]

This.  I grew up with a single mom (dad died) and was a twin.  We shared a cake and had only maybe 2-3 birthday parties in my 18 years under her roof.  We sometimes had family dinners, but as a kid you remember that.  It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive!  Have kids at your house, do arts and crafts, make a small cake or cupcakes, some veggies and fruit and be done with it.  As an adult I understand more (it wasn't about $ it was a time and she didn't want to do it issue, she even talks about it today how she didn't want to do it, so didnt), but attending other kids parties made me sad.  I didn't need anything fancy or even every year, but if it matters to your kids then try at least sometimes![/quote]
