[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 151267, member: 3626"] I gotta admit that I'm surprised they have the attitude that a b'day is just another day -- didn't seem right to me. I know my daughter got to make an extra call on her b'day. I was allowed to send her b'day card and a small gift. That they're said the day shouldn't be acknowledged bothered me but didn't want to say anything. It took me awhile but I did learn to try to not circumvent their rules -- I'd use a lot of the same arguments you do ... she's my daughter; I know her better; I know she needs this, etc. What I was doing was giving her the message that she was "special" and didn't have to follow the rules if mom's (and, thus, hers) logic said this wasn't right. It took about 3 months to undo what I did in one month of visits and phone calls. [/QUOTE]
