Before I start my rant, I want to say I think
was born in the wrong generation (not really because 80’s babies are the best) lol. Have you seen an 8 years old’s birthday party
in 2019 (2020 is ghetto lol)? Let me
just say it is way more money 💰 spent these days. I could not even get a snack
during the grocery shopping runs when growing up and they are getting full game
trucks 🚚 rented out for their special days lol. Now on with the show; birthdays
growing up were awesome! I had my crew
with me, got some good cake, great gifts (second only to Christmas) and a
rather good theme (mainly power rangers or ninja turtles). You never had to do anything, and everything
was setup perfectly for you lol. Skating
parties were the premium packages lol.
Now that I am older, I know three things: 1) birthdays are not as fun as
my childhood; 2) women birthdays seem to elevate and men birthdays are very
minimal 😒; and 3) birthdays are expensive.
Your outlook on birthdays change when you are older too. Young Trellie
cherished the gifts & Wise Trellie (yes that's my name lol) cherishes the people and time. With all that is going on in the world these
days, another year around is a blessing and I never take it for granted. So, to sum it up, birthdays suck growing up but
only for the fellas lol. Women continue to have your extravagant events and get
your man a cake for his birthdays lol. On behalf of all the males, I will say
it for us “I Hate it Here!!”
P.S: I want to know, what was your favorite bday theme growing up?
I didn’t have a favorite theme. But the skating rink parties were LiT. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI thought most men didn’t care to have extravagant birthday parties. 🤷🏾♀️
Skaketown was LiT right!!!
DeleteSee that's what I am talking about lol...we don't have to have extravagant but can we enjoy our day smh
So some men don’t like the drawn out bday things lol and it’s hard to go all out for a man who doesn’t like that stuff lol..
ReplyDeleteWe didn’t really have themed parties but the best ones were always house parties cause we just knew we were partying like the grown folks lmao
All facts folk!! I cannot say I would like a drawn out event myself. Just point me to the whiskey/bourbon and I am happy lol.
DeleteFavorite theme had to be Lisa Frank 🤣 but much parents weren’t having it lol. We had the basic hotdogs & chips w/ the “balloon” decorations and party hats. 🤔 Come to think about it kids don’t even wear party hats these days 🤣
ReplyDeletekids today would laugh at our bday parties back then lol. I thought the party hats and themes were cool though so I don't care lol
DeleteYeap pretty much all true except the advantage of being a 70s baby makes 80s music my foundational music growing up. Loved it and still love it to this day. Also Pac-Man is my most notable kid birthday theme. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteAll true!! I just believe our Bdays were more family/friend oriented; nowadays, I feel like it more about the production!
