[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is happening with the Christmas/birthday loophole here? Why is Christmas/birthday okay but not a random Tuesday?[/quote]

We don't celebrate "random Tuesday" but if you do, go for it.  We do celebrate taco Tuesday occasionally.[/quote]

But the economics are the same. I just don’t get why having your parents buy you things is some sort of moral hazard but it’s okay if they keep it to two times a year. Is the overall budget the same either way? So why not just give them the budget? At the point where Christmas and Birthdays are just a layaway system I no longer get the point. [/quote]

You responded to the poster who does give a budget.  I also like to celebrate Christmas and birthdays with gifts, special food, and other holiday traditions.  If you don't like to celebrate in these ways, don't. Do what makes you happy.  You don't have to understand, agree with, or even like my choices.  Seriously, I just put it out there as something that works in my house.  If it doesn't work for you, there are plenty of other suggestions on this board.  I don't think there's a one size fits all solution out there - probably many approaches work equally well.[/quote]
