This post made me remember all the birthday parties I had growing up. But than I thought "...wait a minute. O.o Did my 3 younger brothers ever have a birthday party???" So I called my Mom just now and asked her. Sure enough none of my 5 brothers had a birthday party, just me. My 2 older brothers had 1 they shared with only our cousins as party guest. But I am the only one who ever had a really birthday party. And I had at least 5 I can remember. Lol
So now I feel bad lol not really but still... I did ask my Mom why they never had one and she said they were all way to shy as kids. Apparently she tried with all them to throw a party and they all just wanted the money spent on gifts. While I wanted the party.
This actually explains why even now when it is mother's day or my birthday I say let's go do something as a family like go out to eat and see a movie instead of getting a gift.
