It’s her birthday too, you know! It can be tough to share a birthday with a major holiday. I have a friend who was born the day before 9/11, and people always tell her how lucky she is that she missed that birthday by a hair. While she’s also grateful that her birthday isn’t 9/11, …

New parents refuse to chip in for a Gucci bag and $3500 birthday dinner after entitled friends ask them to: ‘These expensive group gifts are not something we feel comfortable doing anymore’
When did we all collectively decide that we were going to spend an arm and a leg on birthday gifts for our friends, especially in this economy?! Forget a homemade birthday cake and a gift card to Dunkin‘, you’re expected to chip in hundreds of your well-earned smackaroons so your entire friend group can gift …

Entitled birthday girl sends back the $120 her friend spent on her birthday sushi dinner because she found the celebration underwhelming: ‘I was expecting more of a proper celebration’
Not everybody wants a big to-do on their birthday. If you’re an introvert with a small friend group, a small get-together at a modest restaurant is the perfect way to commemorate being one year older. But that won’t satisfy everyone, and it’s not a crime to say exactly what kind of birthday party you want. …

Stepdad scolds his 26-year-old stepdaughter for not reminding him of his wife’s birthday: ‘He said we should have warned him since we know how much time he spends at work and that things can slip his mind.’
One of my unpopular opinions is that everyone needs to be better at remembering each other’s birthdays. I can tell you the birthdays of at least 20 of my friends and family members, down to date and year, because I really care about them and how old they are. Time and dates are so fascinating …

Grandparents show up to 14-year-old granddaughter’s birthday party 2 hours late, get angry that they started the party without them: ‘I even called them the night before the party and reminded them that we would start at the given time.’
Every party has a threshold for when it’s socially acceptable to be late. If your friend has a daytime birthday party from 4 to 8 and you show up at 7:30, that’s a tad bit impolite. Some might say it’s also disrespectful to show up to that event at 3:40, and I’m inclined to agree. …

Girlfriend gets angry at 36-year-old dad for attending his 8-year-old son’s birthday party with his ex-wife: ‘According to her, we will be giving off «happy family vibes,» which hurt her feelings.’
You have to take on a lot of responsibility when you date somebody who has kids. You may not be responsible for their daily care or take on a parental role, but you have a duty to those children not to be a long-term negative disruption in their lives. It’s natural for a child to …

Parents forget their daughter’s 33rd birthday, get angry when her boyfriend wishes her ‘Happy Birthday’ online: ‘Not saying anything and then posting about it was passive aggressive’
Not every birthday is created equally. There are a lot more milestone birthdays when you’re a kid versus when you’re over 30, and that is directly correlated with how much people care about them, unless, of course, you’re still a «birth month» person who insists that everybody celebrate you with reckless abandon when you’re fully …

‘Left her on read’: Entitled mom RSVP’s ‘Yes’ to a kids party then demands 3-days prior that her fellow parent change the date because her kid suddenly has better plans
NEWSFLASH: The whole world revolves around her. Kids’ birthdays require a lot of planning. Working around spring break schedules, soccer tournaments, and your kiddo’s best friend’s sibling’s ballet recital, parental party planning can be a full-time gig. Since most parents realize that, there’s mutual respect—a head nod, if you will—that occurs when the RSVP’s start …

Mother of 14-year-old and 16-year-old support her kids’ decision to steer clear of their estranged father, his girlfriend, and their half/step-siblings: ‘I need to protect my kids’
Divorce isn’t easy, especially when the cause of the split is infidelity. No one wants to believe that their spouse is capable of this type of betrayal, but crazier things happen every day. When the split is finalized, if both parents are deemed fit, custody is split 50/50 unless stated otherwise. Though this is the …

Teen asks her 14-year-old sister to crochet 250 19cm stuffed bunnies for her Sweet Sixteen 2 months before the party, family members criticize her refusal: ‘She didn’t even offer to pay or buy the materials’
It’s challenging to have a hobby that people want to take advantage of. When I tell people I play adult dodgeball, nobody breaks down my door to ask me to give them 30-minute dodgeball lessons for free. Quite the opposite, they usually ask me to get away from them. But if you make stained glass …
