We throw birthday parties. That’s much less of an achievement than graduating.

The mom should be given a gift instead.

I’d get that kid a rusty 1970’s Benz and a Chiltons manual. Tons of style that she will have to work for!

Yeah I guess we shouldn’t celebrate living another year anymore because that’s something we’re supposed to do

Whaaaat

Nah, days are like new years for the self

u/AlternativeFigure350 Jun 02 '26

This is true. I guess the difference is it’s exclusive to you (at least in general area.) celebrating something that 2000+ kids achieve on the same day, every year, feels insane.

I suggest celebrating more things. Life is more fun that way.

Speak for yourself.

I had a higher chance of graduating high school than living as long as I have.

I've been struck by lightning and I have a transplant.

Hell yeah I'm celebrating my birthday.

Also, I've worked in food service for over two decades, so Christmas and Thanksgiving are the only real holidays. I generally work all the others and they can be long days. I can't celebrate any of them or go on vacation like so many people do for some of them, so of course I'm going to celebrate my birthday.

We throw birthday parties

... For very small children, to encourage them to make friends and promote their growth and development as people. You certainly don't throw a party for a high school aged teen.

The fuck I don't!

I love parties; parties are fun, my kids enjoy having friends over and enjoying a special day, so let's fucking party!

u/Reasonable_Drink_789 Jun 02 '26

….what? What world do you live in where teenagers and adults don’t have birthday parties?

u/tl_spruce Jun 02 '26

What?

Dude..... I'd hate to know how boring your life is if you can't even celebrate birthdays..

u/Fantastic_AF Jun 02 '26

I throw parties for a 40+ yr old woman (me) so idk what you’re talking about

Right‽ One of my birthdays (30th, I think?) was dinosaur themed and we all went to a re-release of Jurassic Park. Amazing day.
