Re: About Birthdays
Am I the only guy that thought it was awesome when your parents rented a nintendo for your b'day when you were a kid? Like 10 bucks and it made my weekend each time.
fwiw I wasn't allowed to own a gaming system as it would destroy my mind as my parents said. (my bros and I had a hidden snes from like the age of 11-14 for me, but it was found by parents eventualy and sold) |

HOWEVER, let the record show that she is one of the best kids out there and is not even close to being ANYTHING like a MTV Super Sweet Brat. [/ QUOTE ] This reads like a quote straight from every parent on that show. "Oh, but she's WORTH IT! I'm not spoiling her, I just want to give her the best!" |

Re: About Birthdays
LOL, yeah, probably. But there are a few posters here that have actually met her and can attest to my statement. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: About Birthdays
[ QUOTE ]
I raised my daughter as a single, BROKE, parent for the first 10 years of her life. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] SO: dinner, possibly BJ if I'm feeling generous [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Now that I have the means [/ QUOTE ] I don't think your allowance counts. Also, parents of brats always think that they are the only ones in the universe capable of spoiling their child w/o making her a brat. Isn't the whole point of the quinceanera that it's the Spanish equivalent of a Sweet 16? and she's getting both? And wtf is a Sweet 13? I have a friend that got presents on his 1/2 birthday, your daughter sounds like him. You say she's not a brat, so please conduct an experiment for me. Plant a hidden camera and then tell her that money is tight right now so the party is off or downgraded or something. Then we'll see how much of a brat she is. |

Re: About Birthdays
MissT,
You say you go clubbin. I'm really struggling to imagine what a nightclub in Kingman looks like. I'm picturing a wooden shed with NASCAR posters on the inside, a boombox, some shotguns, and shot specials on Old Grand Dad. If this isn't right it has to be close. EDIT: and Natty Light on tap LDO. |

Re: About Birthdays
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Low key dinner with a couple people. If others saw your table they wouldn't even know it was somebody's birthday [/ QUOTE ] I haven't done anything more than this for anyone in years. [/ QUOTE ] I think most respondents in this thread, including the OP, are <25. Because after that one they're all pretty meh, except for the milestones like 30 and 40. In fact it seems a lot of people I know, especially women, try to downplay it cuz it makes them feel old. That doesn't stop most employers from passing a card around and meeting for cake in the conference room at 2PM. |

Re: About Birthdays
*Shrugs*
I obviously have issues with money, but I honestly don't see anything wrong with splurging now that I'm able to. It's not just being dead broke the first 10 years of her life, but also growing up broke/poor myself. I remember the nights where popcorn was all we had for dinner. So if I want to spoil and splurge on my loved ones now that I can, why does that make me so horrible? If I told my daughter right now that the party is cancelled, she would be dissapointed, but if I told her it was because of lack of funds/money, she would be totally OK with it, I know this because it's happened before and as soon as I say "...no money..." she totally understands. We actually have downgraded her party already, from having a court of 10 people to having only VIP people. (This prevents me from having to buy the dresses for the girls and renting the tuxes for the guys). T |
