[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask this genuinely — who are the people who don’t understand what “no gift” means or refuse to follow it? Is it a cultural thing for people from some countries/cultures/SES backgrounds? Most of the parties my kids attend and all of the ones we host are no gift, and everyone knows what that means. Most people follow it. But DCUM has a lot of trouble with the concept. I’m wondering what the disconnect is.[/quote] I've also seeing people on tiktok Instagram complain about it as well. It can feel awkward to show up to a birthday party empty-handed. But on the other hand sometimes it gets stressful trying to buy gifts at the last minute if I forget to do it sooner. I was joking with another parent about the miracle of pickup orders at Target or Michaels. [/quote]
