you guys were complaining about a slow board so i hope all these posts are helping. i think i have 1 or 2 more up my sleeve. so here is my question: if someone asked you what your child wants for their birthday, or rather texts you and asks, is it rude to say what they (or you) want? i think you dont necessarily have to have a kid to have an opinion because i dont have a kid and i am opinionated! reason i ask is because i texted h's cousin because me and another family member were duscussing what to get her son for his 1st birthday. and she answered. but when i told the family member she thought that was really rude like she should have said, "whatever you'd like to get him is fine!!"

Um no! Its no different then having a wedding or baby registry. You dont want to spend your hard earned money on something the kid wont like or possibly already has.

Now what is rude is when you ask your step mother for your brother and sister's Christmas list and she also attaches her's to the email!! Meanwhile never asking what you and your husband would like. Indifferent

ugh that would really bug me!! this is the same person who is sore that h's cousin is only having 15 ppl at her ceremony and then a big reception later in the day. i just dont get her sometimes! who has time for all these games? i told her, "so when i asked you what you wanted for xmas you should have said whatever i wanted to get you instead of what you said which was black socks?" it's just funny because she says she would tell people to bring whatever they wanted but would be bitching when they brought something she didn't want. it you want to be that perso. who is gracious like that then it should be genuine otherwise just be direct. life is too short imo.

No, it isn't rude. If you specifically ask me what to get I'm going to give you options. At this point in Baby Rebel's life obviously it will be for things I want him to have or he needs (read- no toys). But once he's older and makes requests I'll pass those along.

I don't think that it's rude at all. I always ask what nieces/nephews/friends' kids want for their birthdays, I don't want them to end up with crap they won't want or use!

I don't think it's rude at all. When people ask my mom what my 9 year old sister wants, she gives them ideas...No one asks if they don't want ideas, you know?

What I do think is tacky is the 7 year old kid's birthday party my sister went to and his parents registered at a toy store for him.
