What do you do for your adult siblings birthdays?
I have 9 younger siblings. When they all lived at home we would go and see each one and bring a gift and have cake and everything. Now three of them are married (as am I) and living away from home. What should I do when their brithday comes up? Send them a card? A gift? An ecard? None of them have parties or anything. Also, should I do anything for their spouses birthday? This is just so confusing! We still visit the siblings that live at home on their birthdays and take a gift and everything. It seems weird to stop celebrating the other ones just because they are married.
I just call and say Happy Birthday! and have a nice chat. If I happen to see something just perfect, I’ll buy that and send it, but usually, just a phone call. Same for spouses.
But I think it depends on your family. If everyone in the family is super into doing presents, then that’s different. I don’t think there’s 1 right way. Just whatever you and your siblings are happy with.
