Do you still get Birthday Presents?
Do you still get Birthday Presents from your family? Even though you are an adult?
My family is pretty big on Birthdays, we always go out for dinner with the family and get a present no matter how old we are.
Birthday's in DH's family are just another day. No dinners out or presents. I find that really strange, but then thought, maybe my family are the weird ones!?!
What's the norm in your family?

Re: Do you still get Birthday Presents?
Hi,
I think your in-laws are not in the normal category when it comes to this. My family ALWAYS sends a birthday gift. Even my terrible in-laws send hubby a present (we send it back) on his birthday.

This year my birthday was pretty low key. Everyone was partied out since it was two weeks after the wedding. My parents got me a small gift aswell as my IL. And my Grandparents sent card like they do every year. And DH got me a new camera since we lost ours on our honeymoon. And we went out for sushi ( my favorite).

Hmm, seems presents are still the norm.
The question came about because it was D/H's Birthday on the 10th, and he seemed quite disappointed with the lame card his parents sent him. He isn't gift grabby at all, I think it just hurt his feelings a little that they didn't make the time to come and see him or buy him a new screwdriver.
I made sure he felt special on the day with a big cooked dinner and some little presents, and my friend baked him a massive cake. He seemed so surprised that we fussed over him. He is going to get an ever Bigger surprise when he sees the surprise party my family is planning for him when we are home next month.
