I was just thinking exactly the same. When I had my first I was really young and didn’t have very much but we always made a big thing with family and a birthday tea. Homemade/decorated birthday cake too with candles. It really doesn’t have to cost much. They can’t be that skint they can’t have a few biscuits, crisps and juice surely. How embarrassing. Likely waiting for free stuff and it didn’t happen*I haven’t meant to reply to you Chastity but for some reason your quote is stuck above my replies & won’t leave”
Imagine relying on freebies for your kids birthday.
I’ve seen parents with hardly anything make more an effort, the fact he has to document him being a dad is telling isn’t it ?! You are a parent, it’s your JOB.
But the fact he wants praise for doing something which MILLIONS of people do is performative. Everything he does is performative.
