Do your Parents Still Buy You a Birthday Present?

[Monkey Spanner]

Mine don't. Cheapskates.

 

[Fnaar]

Mine don't, as they died in 1985 and 1991 respectively. But I bet they would if they could.

 

[Monkey Spanner]

Sorry to hear that Pnarr. Thing is, I can't remember when they stopped.

 

[gratts]

Mine do, but then I'm only 18!

 

[alecstilleyedye]

yep, a cheque for £15.

 

[Kovu]

Mine do ... but i'm 17 next time so that's properly why

 

[simoncc]

My mum does. I buy my own presents from my mum and give her them to wrap up to give to me. She gives me the money back. This method ensures I get something I need, although my mum still feels she has to surprise me, so I get a load of useless stuff too which usually goes straight to a charity shop.

My mother bought me pressies right up to last year when she died. I always buy pressies for my 32 year old daughter - they seem to cost more each year. Barbie Doll when she was younger has been replaced by a car a couple of years ago.

 

[Dayvo]

Too right!

And my mum still manages to find a different 'cricket theme' birthday card for me every year.

 

[yello]

Nope, nor do I get a card. Stopped a good few years ago.

 

[buggi]

yep, always

 

[Young Un]

Yup, but then I am only 14.

Got half my bike for it this year.

 

[Fnaar]

Yup, but then I am only 14.

Got half my bike for it this year.

top half or bottom half?

 

[Kovu]

top half or bottom half?

Front or back you mean?

 

[Dayvo]

Got half my bike for it this year.

Or to make it 3-dimensional: the inside or outside?
