[quote=Anonymous]I've yet to buy my DC a present for her birthday. (She just had her third.) Typically, I get focused on the party (not big ones either, just family/friends and something pretty laid back) and don't worry about a present. Then she gets gifts from her party and I think, Well, why bother with one now? I do get her gifts at Christmas, obviously, but we're also not the kind of family to do toys for no reason. I've seen way too many kids start to think that a store =  a toy and throw fits in a grocery store because their mom told them they can't get a toy there. In fact, I once took DD to Toys R Us on a gloomy, blah day and told her to pick out a new toy. She asked to leave after 10 minutes and didn't want a toy. It was so weird, but I guess it's my fault since I've never just taken her into a store and said, "Pick something!" before.

As she gets older, I imagine I'll make the effort to get her a birthday present for her birthday, but so far, it's been a non-issue. [/quote]
