GTKY: Birthdays

mancila60 · September 2013

Now being married do your parents or in laws do anything special for yours or siblings or S/O's birthdays?

Or do you have special plans for anyone's birthdays?

H and I have birthdays 3 days apart. His mom usually gets us an ice cream cake. My mom just gives us each a card with some money. We don't really make a big to do about bdays.

H and I have the same birthday so my parents and my in-laws always take us both out for a b-day dinner.

This year, I had family and friends over for H's birthday for dinner and cake. We usually go to my mom's house for my birthday. It's a pretty long standing tradition for my family.

My family: my mom usually cooks dinner for everyone and cooks whatever the birthday person wants. They also give us a card with money in it.

H's family: MIL used to take everyone to dinner and it was where the birthday person wanted to go. She would also buy them a cookie cake. Since she isn't with us anymore to do that I always make sure H still has a cookie cake.

My H's bday was just yesterday. His mom got him some gift cards olive garden, pizza hut & chills. If we where back in WI probably would have had a homemade meal & cake too. Usually for mine my mom makes a homemade cake & meal.

My parents send H a card with money (he usually doesn't want anything). H's parents send a card and a gift in the mail. I'm not sure what either set of parents would do if we lived closer.

My family is big on birthdays so we usually have a dinner and cake. His family isn't as big but lately have been doing at least a dinner together, my H usually cooks.

H and his cousin have bdays a few days apart, in June, so they usually have a joint BBQ with cake. I get a card in the mail from my patents. I don't recall the last time I had a cake. No one really cares. (Except bpphoto sent me a card!

My In-laws usually take us out for our birthday's, My family has a "birthday dinner" at their house for whoever's b-day it is. It will be interesting to see if that changes or stays the same with a baby....

My brother and his 2 boys all have birthdays within a month, so we usually just include my brother in the boys birthday party since they are young enough to get a big extended family party!

Birthdays are big in my family so a birthday in my family consists of dinner at my parents (my siblings, their S/Os, my parents, and H and I have dinner at my parents every sunday night) then my grandparents, a few aunts, an uncle and sometimes my cousins (they join us if they are in town) have cake and ice cream after dinner and the birthday person opens their gifts. That's how H and I celebrate our birthdays and other people in my family.

H's family... they are strange about birthdays... H is lucky if he gets a card on his birthday never mind a gift (he hasn't received an actual present on his birthday from them in over 10 years). They always stepped over his birthday when he was in HS and he barely got a "Happy Birthday." H isn't greedy, but SIL and BIL always get a gifts. I usually get a card, sometimes MIL gets me a nice gift. When H and I have sent birthday cards to his grandparents and aunts and uncles they never call to say TY.

We just go out to dinner. Birthdays aren't a huge thing around here.
