    Let's hug instead. All we want for Christmas is for our birthday to be remembered separately. :emoji_sob:

    Or is it Zircon? OR IS IT TANZANITE?!?

    I've pretty much stopped that search and now I'm trying to figure out tea for a stocking stuffer.

    Pro Parent Tip: Don't combine Christmas & birthday gifts into one gift until your kid is at least 30. They will resent you otherwise.

    (also, congrats! it's coming up fast! good luck, bb! :ba:)

    Yeah, we were always going to do something separate. We are not barbarians! She's going to resent us enough anyway, might as well not give her another reason ;)

    At least they are all fun gift occassions. My birthday is the first week of September(back in the day this is when school started)so my parents combined school shopping and my birthday. Talk about disappointing for a kid.

    The eldest's birthday is the day after Christmas, and I always insisted that her birthday be separate. My parents got mad at me when I told them from the beginning that there would be no one big combined present, no birthday presents in Christmas paper, etc., and that we'd have an actual birthday party for her, not just use the family gathering for Christmas. Said "you can't demand that people get separate presents". I told them that no one was required to give a present for either or both, but if they did, they'd be designated separately.

    They mostly got over it (though my mom still makes sarcastic comments now and then). They didn't even fight me when I reminded them about it for the twins (whose birthday is a couple of weeks before Christmas). And actually, when we still lived in Louisiana, it was nice to have a family birthday party on the 26th. Everyone that had been there the day before dressed up and kinda Christmas stressed came dressed down, chilled out, we ate leftovers, and got a new dessert (cake!) and she got her own attention. It was nice.

    This seriously was my childhood my parents were dicks. Dad got me a stereo for Christmas when I was a teenager (pretty sure he stole it) then about 2 months later he sold it for drugs, happy memories
