Is never having a birthday party for your child bad parenting?

I mean even if the child begs the parents to have other kids over and the parents continually say no or brush it off until the next year when even still they fail to keep their promise?Is never having a birthday party for your child bad parenting?
did you have birthdays as a child


if yes imagine having none then see how happy you are


its not bad parenting its just mean and they should atleast throw a little party maybe 5 friends no need to invite 60 if they dont do one and it is for a reason like mom just died or else they should not be parents


promising a child a party then no doing it is outrageous

no it is not bad parenting





I have 3 sons and they had a party of there 5th birthday


and after that it was just a small group of close friends on every birthday





But don't make promises you can't keep, that's unfair, make a plan to have one on a special birthday, and stick to it





Explain to your child why a party is not going to happen


and don't give i to peer pressure from other parents
its not bad parenting to not have a birthday party. every family dynamic is different. we all celebrate or don't celebrate certain things.





however, if you make a promise and go back on it that is really wrong. it doesn't matter if you a parent or not don't make false promises to kids.


i've been there i know how upsetting it is to be a kid and have people not follow through on promises.
I think birthday parties are a great way to celebrate with your children, and at the end of the day when the party is over and you can tell that your child had fun I think it is all worth it.


As far as not having a party I don't think that falls under


the category bad parenting.
Well, obviously its not ';bad parenting'; if you don't have a blowout w/ entertainment/expensive decorations/ etc., but I don't think it would be to much trouble to buy a cake and invite a few friends over.
I think its kind of Sad, just being that Children grow up way to fast. By the parent brushing it off year to year is Sad.





You never know what can happen or just in general, before you know it, your child is 15 and you cant have that Fun ';baby-ish'; type of Party any more.
I think it is very sad, you don't have to spend a lot to give a child a party. I think it is bad parenting in a way but there are certainly a lot of worse things they could do. You should never break a promise to your child or anyone.
Breaking a promise is wrong. If it doesn't work out right at the birthday, you can always do it later. Sure, it's not as special, but the kids will still love it. If it's not going to happen, don't say it will.
no its not bad parenting my parents only gave me 1 b-day party so far and my mom said never again at our house
It is not good to break promises to anyone. Is there a valid reason?
Yes.
I never had one and it hurt's me to this day an im 57
its not good to do that to kids.





they need birthday parties...what if you didnt have anything for your birthday?
