Re: Kids' Birthday

i will try to celebrate my dds birthday every year. But I don't do a big party thingy altho very tempted but....

anyway, for me, I never celebrated any of my birthdays after my dad passed away when I was three. and I never knew when my birthday is until P6 when we have to make our ICs.

So birthdays are very precious to me :)

I intend to celebrate till as long as can . It would be great if every year can celebrate .

B'days to me are happy and special occasions . It's like bdays are not a everyday kinda thing . So I will try to make every bday special for my DS .

When I was young my parents nvr fail to celebrate bday with me and as I remember that happy kinda feeling . With cakes and pressies .
So I would love my child to feel the same way too .

How abt u ? :001_302:

Precisely.
so the more should be celebrate with own family nia. no point going thru the hassle of inviting guests, only to have them complain behind your back that your food is so-so...and that they have to go thru the hassle to make time and travel jus cos you invited them.

Hmmm i think like you whereas my dh thinks like Jedamum.
But every year we still have a small celebration with close family members.
Every yr my dh will ask me when will i stop celebrating the kids birthdays with others. He want to have just a personal thingy kinda celebration.

Today i hv just told him, "how long can u celebrate for the kids, when they grow up & hv own friends, you want to celebrate for them they oso dun want liao" :001_302:

Haha no la don't think negatively .

I do invite friends as well . A get together with my family members and friends celebrating its great . Though celebrating with own family is gd in a way but I find it boring . The more the merrier . I always love this kinda feeling . :001_302:

I agree with u too .
My Dh agrees tt it's a must to celebrate kids bday every year .
Maybe u can celebrate on 2 different days ?
Im already planning for my DS 1st bday thou its like 4 mths away . Since the actual day will be on a weekday . Actual day will be spent with family . Dh , Me and DS .
Then I will celebrate earlier with My other family members and friends on a weekend . Like that wont really clash ma .

I stopped celebrating my bday with my parents when I'm 15 . I feel they must hv been so disappointed too . I rather spent my bday with friends then parents lo . Last time I use to think tt family celebration is kinda boring so I choose to celebrate with friends better . Lol ! =p

Bt nw still got chance to celebrate . I will make gd use of it . :001_302:

I agreed with jedamum.

We celebrated during the 1st mth and 1st bday, then we will just buy bday cake and celebrate among ourselve.

A friend told me that his sister celebrate her kids bday every year, then 1 year din celebrate 1 kid bday, that kid said the mum was unfair.

Re: Kids' Birthday

Ya tis is again individual preference.

How about celebrating in Skool?

My Ds1 birthday always fall on 1st day of sept skool holi
In pre-nursery & nursery i celebrated for him in sch. in the last day of sch term

But tis yr,in K1, he nvr ask for tat, if he celebrates will be today.
Kinda regret for not ordering cake for sch celebration.

Think abt it he will oni enjoy for 4 yrs, pri sch will not hv tat any more.
Hmmmm when replying this, i am still beri regretful :embarrassed:

Thinking of giving a belated one when the sch starts :001_302:

Re: Kids' Birthday

I've always think that our kids bdays are always important .
I didn't know some people do not celebrate kids b'day till i stumbled upon this thread .

Celebrating in school is a gd idea .
Do u give out gift packs etc ?
I like it when every year my parents celebrate my bday at sch with cakes and those gift packs . :001_302:
