Posted by husky51 on 10.02.2014, 12:41 PM: I have a relative (mother of some of my grand-kids..) that has decided to not have any more birthday parties for her... Doesn't see the need for the expense when only a few people show up... The kids are 10, 7, 4 and 3 months. (three are step grand-kids but I love them all). BTW, they are taking the 10-yr old to dinner and a movie (expensive theater)...

Posted by Roarkiller on 10.03.2014, 12:57 AM: I think birthdays are overrated but anyway, it really depends on the definition of 'party'. If it's the kind where you invite your extended family with a barbeque on the lawn then I agree on the cutbacks. Having a cake with mom and dad at dinner though, not so much.

Posted by FlareNetworkC on 10.03.2014, 05:58 AM: I've always liked my birthdays simple, and Mom has complied. Besides, my birthday is only a week before Christmas, so what's a few less presents at my birthday?

Posted by husky51 on 10.03.2014, 10:09 AM: My daughter was born on Dec 23 and my ex-wife was Dec 26. I know about kids missing out on birthday parties. We usually held daughter's party mid-year sometime. |
Posted by Roarkiller on 10.03.2014, 11:27 AM: Well, I pity twins because they never get their own birthday party. Because, you know

Posted by saviour2012 on 10.03.2014, 01:48 PM: its kinda similar with my family too. october, november, december.But birthday is actually not celebrated most of the time, its kinda like a tradition to have a big party once in a lifetime and thats it for him.

Posted by arren18 on 10.03.2014, 01:51 PM: This made me curious, so I looked to see what were the most common birthdays. Apparently, at least in anglophone countries, people are most likely to be born in September.

Posted by husky51 on 10.03.2014, 05:03 PM: hahaha, thinking about the agricultural aspects of North America... Freezing and snowy in December and January... Big surprise about September babies, lol... September IS the ninth month, right???

Posted by Roarkiller on 10.03.2014, 10:43 PM: I know some parents do plan the baby's birth to be in a certain month. There was a study years back that babirs born after the start of a school year tend to have a little edge simply due to having more time for their brains to develop.

Posted by Saddletank on 10.05.2014, 06:40 AM: Yes, if the parents-to-be understand the biological clock of the mother its possible to make every effort to time things for a birth at a certain week/month. Nature can intervene with all kinds of obstacles but parents can certainly try.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 10.05.2014, 11:11 AM: Yeah, pregnancy can be planned for a specific time frame.

Posted by Roarkiller on 10.05.2014, 11:21 AM: I wasn't aware gender could be controlled. Can it?
|
Posted by Kazegami on 10.05.2014, 11:36 AM: I'm skeptical. I figure it has something to do genetics that makes people more likely to have boys or girls... But I don't know. I'm sure there are environmental factors too.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 10.05.2014, 01:07 PM: I'm skeptical too. lol It was some sort of tradition his family followed. I don't remember what or which culture it was from, but his family believed in it. Probably just ironic that the first born children were all male. His mother has around four or five sisters and they all had sons first and her brother happened to have a daughter instead. I just found it amusing.
