[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am previous poster who things its odd.  Not bad, just odd.  I guess it's because at this point in my life, if I want something that costs $50, I go get it.  Same with my mom.  Her giving me the $50 doesn't change my life at all.  I wouldn't complain, I'd just rather she keep it for herself.  We aren't big on bdays though.  A phone call letting me know someone is thinking of me is great, and if people forget I understand because I don't remember everyone's either.  I'm early 40's, bdays aren't a huge deal at this point.[/quote]

Agree. Acknowledgement of birthdays is nice, but more than that is odd to me. Adults who make big deals out of their birthdays, weird me out. Really? You're 37, and [b]you want a birthday party/gift? No, that's for kids.[/b] [/quote]
Nope -- no it isn't. I understand not wanting do any celebration or not asking for gifts, but if someone else wants to celebrate their birthday or someone gives them a gift why is that odd? I think that it is odd that you think it is odd that someone wants to celebrate or acknowledge in a way that is different than your way.[/quote]
