[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first year I worked for MB/DB I got DB a cake and MB flowers for their respective birthdays.  They got me a $20 gift certificate and a framed photograph of my charge and I for my birthday.  The following year I gave them each a night out of free babysitting and they wished me a happy birthday but didn't even get me a card.  When they said "happy birthday" to me on the day of my birthday - without a card or gift - I said that I just wanted to forget my birthday this year (a death in the family and a zero-age birthday).

Now their birthdays are coming up again and I am unsure what to do.  I feel like they were hinting that they wanted to stop birthday gifts when they didn't do anything for my birthday.  On the other hand I do not want to appear petty and tit-for-tat.  Also they will probably ask me to babysit on their birthdays.

Gifts flowvdown.  Employees DO NOT give employer a gift of any significance, e.g., free babysitting.  You gave them a $60.00 gift if you are making $15 an hour.  Ridiculous.  Wish them a happy birthday and that is all.  Stop wasting your time and money. Obviously, they did not appreciate your gift.  [/quote]
