No birthday present – your own fault?
Good morning,
It has happened several times now that I have not received a birthday present from my parents.
My birthday is around Christmas/New Year's Eve and money is a bit tight then and people always say I'll get it next month.
My two siblings have birthdays at the beginning of January and are getting a present.
Whenever I ask, they always say, "Yes, I still have to pay x, y, z, and we still need this and that." Then I always feel bad because I don't want things to get tight financially. I always say it's okay. But it's kind of stupid, too.
Is it my own fault that I didn't get a birthday present?
Thanks

I don’t know your financial situation, yet I find it unfair if your siblings get something for your birthday and you don’t. This does not in any case promote sibling acceptance or family peace.
I’d just ask (quiet and careful at a good moment) why your siblings get something and you don’t. Whether you will be satisfied with the answer, I cannot say that.
Finde Dich mit dieser Situation ab , da wird sich nichts dran ändern .
Oh, man, that makes me pretty sad to have to read that. I’m so sorry for you.
No, you don’t blame yourself, you can’t do anything you were born on holidays. And you can’t do anything that your parents don’t plan or deal with money.
I mean, your birthday is not a surprise, every year on the same day. And if you leave only 2 euros each month you will have 24 euros for a gift on December.
So in your place I wouldn’t say the next time that this is “right”. Then you would like to say that your birthday is celebrated together with your siblings, with you word literally also get something from the “cheek”.
Just ask what the last birthday present was about you, what your parents can remember, maybe they’re coming up with it.
If not, just buy yourself something nice.
because you can’t do anything for it. I don’t know how the financial situation is with you, but every time you use it as an excuse, while your siblings are still being entertained, is a little three times from your parents. In addition, they have all year round for Yours Save gifts.

No, if your parents had witnessed you in another quarter of the year, you would have been born in autumn or spring.
It’s just like it is. Once you earn your own money, you’re no longer dependent on gifts.
Ganz sicherlich nicht deine Schuld, deine Eltern sind einfach mega verpeilt.
Das geht wohl allen so, die an Weihnachten Geburtstag haben. Gibt halt nur ein Geschenk pro Jahr. Daran ist keiner Schuld. Ist einfach Pech. 🤷♀️
Da wird aber gar nichts geschenkt, nicht nur eine Sache, sondern keine!
Es heisst kein Geburtstagsgeschenk. Steht nichts davon, ob und was es zu Weihnachten gibt. Bin davon ausgegangen, dass es an Weihnachten was gibt, deshalb sind die Eltern knapp bei Kasse 😅
Natürlich bist du nicht daran schuld!
Du kannst nichts dafür, dass deine Eltern mit ihrem Geld nicht haushalten können.
Es wäre doch ein Leichtes für sie, jeden Monat etwas für deinen Geburtstag zur Seite zu legen und dann an deinem Geburtstag Geld für ein Geschenk zu haben.
