Do you still give a gift or card to your young niece or nephew (elementary school age) if the parents are not throwing a birthday party? I do for my neices and nephews as well as for the children of my best friend. We couldn't have a party this year and my son is hurt because none of his aunties remembered his birthday. One of them called and I mentioned that to her. She replied that "that's the way it is when you don't have a party...no gift" and suggested that I host a dinner if we wanted it otherwise.
I found that to be odd and a bit selfish. I just took it as "you get nothing from me unless I get something too." Maybe I'm way off base, but to me, that's a crappy way to think.
Thoughts?
