Going out for your friends birthdays

Larianne

Just reading a thread on R&R and how some people don't think people should expect their friends to go out for their birthday. And celebrating your birthday in your twenties is silly?

I was a bit shocked at some of the comments. I love going out for my friends birthdays. They all have busy lives and having a birthday to get the gang together is brilliant. We just have a few drinks and a dance, nothing fancy but always a good laugh.

Is it a chore for you to meet up with your friends to celebrate surviving another year?

As you get older, it becomes a good excuse to force yourself to meet up without missing faces, so no.

If you moan excessively about meeting your friends in your 20s - cheer up, because they won't stick around for your 30s.

Do you mean that everyone disappears futhur into their bs couple bubbles in their 30's?
Or do you mean that people don't bother with the types who act like they are doing them a favour going on a simple night out.

Yeah I like going out for a few drinks on a friends birthday. A good excuse to ensure a good crowd turns up. Most of my friends will be turning 20 in the next few months and I can't really see going out for a friends birthday turning 'silly' any time soon.

Don't see the point in living if you're not even allowed celebrate your own birthday with friends anymore.

When people get coupled up and have kids, it's harder for everybody to meet up as a big group (or so I've noticed) so a birthday is a good excuse for everybody to make an effort.

No problem with people skipping birthdays as such, but it seems a bit strange that people would go to lengths to avoid them, unless they're broke or something which is understandable.

I'm going to live like I'm in my 20s forever, or until I die.

Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Bar Mitzvahs, Tuesday's, whatever. I'll be out for them all.

Going out for someone's birthday is a great laugh, i don't see what people have against it but it's their own decision. If they don't want to go they don't have to but it does mean a lot to the person and is a great way to meet up with friends yuo havn't seen in a while, i love birthdays

I always go out for my friends birthdays. And my birthday recently involved a run of 4 nights in a row! Score!
I don't need much of an excuse to go out though tbh.

I won't have to worry about seeing my friends when I am in my 30s, my liver won't last that long!
