I agree. I hate birthdays. Its my birthday today, I'm 22. I googled 'i get disappointed on my birthday' to see what came up, because once again my mum and dad have successfully managed to make me feel completely miserable on my birthday.

Quite simply with presents! I hate presents! Very rarely do you receive a present that you actually like. I'd rather do with out! This sounds terribly ungrateful, but I'd honestly rather have the cash or nothing at all then be disappointed year after year. Its gut wrenching and heart breaking knowing that I'm either gonna have to accept shit presents and never use them or I'm gonna have to seem like an ungrateful prick and ask to exchange them! This year I got a push bike (i'd purposely made a point of saying i didn't want them to buy me a bike because i would never use it), an oversized tshirt (year after year my mum seems to like to buy L when all I need is M) and a shitty little mug that reads something about 'another day, another disaster' ironic really as its pretty much what the mug has made my day.. a disaster. Oh great.. another mug.

Its always the same, year after year, since I was little. They would either get me something i didnt want at all, or something close to what i actually did want. I hate birthdays and cannot wait for this one to be over!
