Ugh. She’s probably exhausted and just want to enjoy her “special” day doing absolutely nothing. It’ll probably be a treat for her. At least, it would be for me. Lol, I can’t say for her honestly, because idk her and sometimes people say stuff they don’t really mean. I’d still get her a present and acknowledge it’s her birthday.

@Stark I got her what she asked for.Im just getting she is not enamored with getting older and prefers not to celebrate.Yes exhausted.Working like a dog.

@Butterflykisses24 Well. Then she probably would appreciate doing nothing if she works like a dog. 🤷🏽‍♀️ But I get the idea of not being happy about getting older. I’m 24, and I dread my birthday, but only because I’m not where I’d like to be at 24. I feel like time is ticking, but I’m not where I wanna be and I’m running out of time. I feel like a lot of people around my age range feel similar.
