[QUOTE="ksm, post: 710947, member: 12511"] I would buy a few gifts...but things she needs and you would normally have to pay for anyway... Like, if she needs tennis shoes in the near future... Or her bed needs a new comforter... Or a gift certificate for a hair cut, or maybe a manicure if you are feeling generous. Good luck, I get it. My 16 yo has had two bad birthdays the past two years. The first one was she told me, when I asked what she wanted fir her birthday, "I don't want to have to see you at all on my birthday". So I called a friend 60 miles a way, made plans with her for the day, shopping, and a nice lunch. I left daughter her card and a couple gifts on the table, and said I hoped she had a nice day, and I would see her tomorrow. Last year, she lied about spending the night with a friend, got drunk, I couldn't find her (her friends lied to me when I did go to a dif friends house) so I called the police at 1am and they found her passed out at that same house. The police brought her home about 3am. No fun. Ksm [/QUOTE]
