Yeah, we only have the one kid so at least for now (possibly ever) there's no "well HE got THIS so I should get THAT." I think that IF we do a big blow out party package party it'll be a one time thing when he's 10 or 11. I'm pretty cheap, though, in a lot of ways.
I grew up Catholic with a birthday in late February, so my birthday usually fell during Lent. I didn't get many parties, with that as the excuse (there were other factors at play, too). Our last two parties for Niko have been family-only, mostly because we didn't get our act together in time to plan things and invite people. But there was still cake and presents.
I like other peoples' kids just fine as long as those kids aren't assholes. I'm looking forward to sleep overs and the kids being able to supervise themselves.
