Plus: I don’t want my birthday known, but shouldn’t my relatives have mentioned it anyway?
Admittedly, it can be exhausting and expensive to support multiple attempts at marriage that you feel certain are doomed to fail. But as these matrimonial optimists are presumably friends and relatives, not even acknowledging their weddings seems to Miss Manners a bit callous.
Is it possible that those 20 family members knew that you do not like birthday attention and were merely adhering to your wishes? Or is it just more fun to resent their acknowledging their own milestones — considering them blatant gift grabs and unseemly cries for attention — because you would never stoop that low?
Could you please suggest some gifts that would be welcome and appreciated, but that would also be affordable?Shower presents should be, by their very nature, affordable. So the only real trick here is to ignore the inevitable and persistent registries and financial requests.
