When my oldest turned 18, I wondered if it was time to stop the birthday gift tradition. But as each year passed, I realized that celebrating their special day with a thoughtful present—big or small—still meant a lot to both of us. Last year, I picked out a book my daughter had mentioned in passing, and seeing her light up reminded me that the gesture matters more than the price tag. For me, it’s less about the gift itself and more about showing them they’re loved, no matter their age. Do you still buy birthday gifts for your grown kids? I’d love to hear your thoughts and stories! #ParentingTeens #FamilyTraditions #AdultChildren #Parenting
