[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660282, member: 1550"] I personally think you should let her decide at her age. I didn't like big parties either, at any age or for any age and Jumper is not a Difficult Child and doesn't either. If she wants a party, ok. If she doesn't, ok. She is not you. Just because you liked those parties doesn't mean she does. Everyone is different. My husband hates the fuss of all holidays so we chill on them. If she wants a party, I'm guessing she'd plan to go with her friends. That's what Jumper does and even then it's very chill. She isn't a big one for high excitement.Your best memories may not be hers. Yes, it's disappointing to us, but it's not about us, right? One way I think I've learned to get along well with my adult kids is to let them do it their way instead of forcing MY way on them. I just accept what they like to do and do it or don't do it and it's made things pretty easy most of the time (except during Bart's custody battle for his son!!!) Jumper DOES like the present ;) [/QUOTE]
