I don't mind having my birthday celebrated. Mostly it's just by my family and not some big fancy affair and I like celebrating them too !
It hasn't seemed like any of my family minded being celebrated mostly except about the time my older brother turned 55, he did announce that he no longer needed them acknowledged and he said it with a serious face, so he meant it, but I never understood why. Did something happen that hurt him about a birthday celebration that he didn't share or was his age depressing to him?? I have no idea and now he's gone ! My older sister doesn't mind being celebrated, but not out in public.....LOL
To each their own I suppose, but it does take the fun out of it for those that would like to celebrate someone they love if they adamantly refuse to participate. Kill Joys ! Party Poopers ! Scrooges.... the whole LOT of them !
I mean.... he who has the most birthdays wins..... right ???
It's not only good to be a cheerful giver, but a cheerful receiver as well.
I have to agree 100 percent with your Girl.
Family affairs are the way to go in my mind I guess, it's more relaxed and more personal which I prefer.
In my situation, I'm not about to deny my partner the enjoyment she gets from it and will have a good time whatever she has planned, but it suited me to make it a little difficult for her, just so she knows I've not rolled over completely. 😁
Oh... and happy birthday whenever it was/is.
🎂
I'm pretending I'm family, don't throw the cake, ok???
Lol...I could go some real cake right now...I'll pretend the emoji is real and fake eat it!
(It's not happened yet, coming up in the not too distant future though...another year older. Sucks really, but I'll own it.)
I hope you enjoyed your fake cake eating. I just KNEW that would be your favorite flavor.
When considering fussing about birthdays, I always think EMBRACE IT !.....because the alternative is not a good one. :)
So tasty. 🤔🙄
