How do you feel about birthdays as you get older?

[Aunt Bea]

I’m the only one that still celebrates my birthday and I’m just in it for the cake!

That's a good enough reason!

 

[Aunt Bea]

When we were kids we never had birthday parties.

We always got to choose the kind of homemade cake and our favorite meal.

We received a couple cards with a few dollars tucked inside and a few simple presents from family members. It was always a big thrill to get a couple cards in the mail.

I just hope I'm around for a few more.

It's the calls or even a text that is sent to me without the "Dad/Mom reminded me it was your birthday" attached to it
that I love most. You know..the remembered me without a prompt thing. That speaks volumes to me.

I don’t want to not have one, I just don’t care to celebrate it. The kids will call and we’ll use it as an excuse to go out for our monthly dinner.

You think the weather is bad this year - this was winter 1958! Me on top of a snowbank the street plow created.

I am disappointed that no one I know personally remembers mine. I do theirs. However, when I extend good wishes, I am usually met with disdain and a comment something to the effect, "Birthdays are for 10-year-olds."

Time for you to aquire Birthday Amnesia when it comes to those people........

Just another day for me at almost 93 and now it seems my family.
Note that governments here in Canada don't provide any special assistance.
Everything is geared to age 65, 75 in which of course we are already included

I have yet to see anything special happen for 90 plus and some of us could use it.
It's seems like we just don't exist.
just sayin '

Opposite here.... everything is geared to people over 80... people my age are stuck in no man's land... it's either 50's and under...or 80's and over....

Existing for another revolution around the sun always deserves to be celebrated!

 

[Pinky]

It gives our daughter great pleasure to spoil us on our birthdays, so, we sit back and enjoy the day.

 

[Raven]

If no one remembers my birthday it doesn't bother me, but if someone does then I appreciate being remembered on my birthday. Who doesn't like cake?

You need better friends, Deb.
