[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know so many adults who over-celebrate their birthdays. Examples, I know someone (34) who has celebrated "birthday week" (and "birthday month!") for as long as I've known them. Like, "manicures for my birthday on Monday, drinks after work Wednesday, birthday eve dinner on Thursday, and a blowout on THE day."

Another person (50s) MUST celebrate with everyone. "Oh, you can't make it to dinner with my parents and siblings on Friday? Let's celebrate ME on Satursay then!"

[b]Another one (40s) plans her own events! "Come to dinner for my birthday!"[/b]

Is this the epitome of needy? I like to pretend my birthday doesn't exist. It's cool if my husband and kids remembers me, but really, everyone was born. It's not some huge event. Right?

I get celebrating milestone birthdays, but really, playing up your 36th or 44th Birthday? Get over yourself.

Actually,  isn't this the polite way to do it when you're older?  The birthday person takes others out?[/quote]

I agree.  I'm not into my own birthday, but I'm not all offended when a friend or family member asks to me join them on their birthday.  I think it's nice they want to include me to celebrate another year of their lives. [/quote]
