    Parents who have birthday parties for their children should tell the guest not to bring presents because when they get the presents kids get it they play with it. When 4 days pass kids do not play with the new toys they got, kids start to play and then finish it in 3 or two days because kids where playing with it every day.

    They can but then the parents would think well i guess he already has stuff so he doesn´t need presents. Also the mom might not want the kid to get stuff for free but he gets that stuff because it is his b-day. And the people are celebrating the day he was born and now how he is older and healthy. So I think that parents should not be told to not bring presents because it is the parents and kids decisions.

    To be honest, I'm happy with everything I already have. But there is always that time of year when it's your birthday! People ALWAYS feel like they need to get you a present, but that doesn't matter to me at all! For me it's already a present if that person is able to be with me on my special day; I don't need presents to make me happy. One thing that happends to me almost every year is I either already have it or some one at the "party" already gave it to me, so now and days my mom just asks for gift cards so I can get what I want to get.

    Parents who have birthday parties for their children should tell guests to not bring presents. When the child receives a present, it might not be what the kid would like. Parents could give their child cash to buy something from the store or mall. Or the parents could take their child to a mall or store to buy something for their child. When the parents throw a party, the party is enough just for one grand present. If the child gets presents every year along with a party, they'll want a childish birthday on their teen years! Just with a party with no presents, a child can receive another party that's not childish in the future.

    It's true that parents that have parties should tell there guest's not to bring presents. Many people that come to the parties and,could not have gotten anything because they didn't have enough money to get what the child want's is not there fault.Its not the guest's fault because they didn't have enugh money or something. Many people because they didn't get the child a toy would give them there own money which is there money. If the guest didn't bring anything it's not there responsibility to bring the child something. Even if it's a little something they tried.If the parent of the child got mad , they tried.Its not the responsibility of the guest to bring in any present's for the child if they can't.

    1. I think parents who have birthday parties for their children should tell guests not to bring presents because since the parents are the ones setting up the party, they should also be the ones to provide the presents. Also, since the guests are there to celebrate the birthday, doesn't mean they should bring something like a present to the party. In my opinion, I’m already good with what I have, but I not sure about every one else.

  7. Kids should have more respect for the things that they already have. To do this, have guests for birthday parties not bring gifts. This way, children will have to use what they already have. This will also make kids realize that having a party is already a gift. Then when the stuff the kids already have gets old and damaged, you can buy some more gifts. The kids will be very grateful for the gifts and will show their appreciation. Doing this strategy of telling guests not to bring gifts will save money and teach kids a lesson!

  10. Yes,
    parents who have birthday parties for their children should tell guests not to bring presents because they don't have to people could just celebrate birthdays with the gift of love and not with making your child spoiled with gifts. Another reason why your kids should not get presents for their birthday is because kids will start to depend on you giving them presents but they really should just appreciate whatever you give them even if its just love and kindness

  11. Julie,
    Guest shouldn't bring presents because sometimes kids don't deserve them.If kids get presents every year they will become spoil and not appreciate them. Parents don't even want to pick up the mess they make with there toys. The worst part is that you can step on a lego or any little toy.

    Parents that have birthday parties shouldn't let there guest get presents because guest shouldn't spend there money on gifts.If guest spend lots of money on gifts the they might not have anymore money for there self and there kids.A party shouldn't let family's waste there money on gifts.I think party's shouldn't let guests bring presents.

  13. For my birthday I would like a lot of things. But I would not want guest to buy me like super expensive things or something I wouldn't like. Besides they aren't my parents and they don't have to buy something for a kid they don't even know. If they are related to me,then I say bring it on.
    If I wanted something for my birthday it would be a useful thing in life. But besides that really nothing else. I would rather be some where then getting presents. If I only got to pick once then I would pick six flags. The thing about six flags is that it's fun,intense and most of all some where we can spend quality family time.

    Should parents tell guests not to bring birthday presents for there children? No! Kids these days are spoiled rotten! But what about kids that are having a hard time at home and don't have money? They don't get stuff every time they go out. So when it's there birthday they are very happy that they maybe get like $10. If your going to have a birthday party, have a birthday party with presents and all!!!

  16. Parents should tell guest to not bring birthday presents. Parents are ready having a birthday party which cost a lot of money. They don't need guest spending their own money on presents. Also if they do have a lot of stuff in their house full of toys then why do they need more. Kids should just get their own toys with their own money if they want. They can not have a birthday party and spend your parents money for the birthday party on a toy that you want. I think that would be fair for parents and guest.

    Parents who have Birthday parties for their children and don't give them presents is basically reasonable for their child. Because of Birthday's, more children are asking for more toys and games when they already have some. And when they get older, they won't even play with their toys anymore. It also makes the parents waste all of their money for expensive presents. So, if you don't buy anything for your child, that's showing them discipline.

    Parents who have birthday parties for there kids.Should tell the guests not to bring any presents to the kids.Because the parents spend a lot of money and probably the kids will get presents on chirstmas.The parents don't want the guests to spend a lot of money becuase its like paying money to enter a place.

    Parents should tell there guest not to bring presents. Parents are right because if a guest brings to many presents, the child who is having the the party may have to many presents already. There may not be enough room in the house to put all the new toys or outfits. Another reason why parents tell there guest not to bring presents is because the there kids may already have to many toys from there last birthday party and withe more toys the house may be even more crowded.

    Should guests not bring presents?

    NO! I think that the guests should bring presents for the birthday party. Why? Because if they don't the child is going to be sad because he didn't get presents. I want the guests and the parents see the child having fun opening his/her birthday presents and seeing what they got for him/her.

    Yes,because when kids have big parties, parents usually spend lots of money on cake,food,and drinks. And they should tell guests not to bring gifts because kids will use lots of the presents they get, but kids grow out of clothes,they get bored with the toys, they spend all their money, and sometimes throw away birthday cards. When kids get toys as presents they usually lose parts or have to spend money on batteries. The presents kids get all come to a waste of money later.

    Parents should not let other people bring birthday presents for there kids. I support this claim because sometimes people don't have time or they can't afford it. Also it may be rude to some people. Maybe the parent doesn't want the kid to always get stuff for free and pretend like there's no cost. If some kids aren't good at keeping presents to themselves like if your kid hated a present and went ugghhhh. Then that is rude to the person who got the gift because they spent money on it. I also think that if people get you the same gift then you will just be really unhappy especially if you didn't get the gift receipt.

    Gimme!Gimme!Snatch!Where's my present? Those are the sounds that parents have to deal with every time their child is having a birthday party. The only thing to put a stop this madness is to tell guest to not bring presents to the party. Parents should do this because if they don't their child is going to become greedy. Kids become greedy by birthday parties because they get presents all the time and only care about that. When friends and family members come they don't say hi,they just ask for their present. Also kids are picky with presents. If a friend bought them a friendship necklace instead of a IPad, kids might say "I didn't want this. Can I have the receipt?". If parents would just

    My Robot The Hero



    Beep!Boop!Beep!VRRRRRRRRR! It shaked a little as it was turning on. Then the lights flashed in my eyes , his antenna up , and his robotic metal eyes slowly opening up. I can’t believe the day was actually here , Summer July 4, at 12:00am inside my house.Then something crazy happened.
    “Hello , my name is Bobby , how may i help you today?”he said. I was so astonished when Bobby started talking , I mean did it say anything about it talking.
    “Can you hear me?” I asked acting really curious.Though i remember saying something about it.
    “HaHaHaHaHa” It started laughing like i just said some practical joke. I was still wondering if it said something.
    “What a silly question!!!!” It boomed so loud that my ears I think they popped a little.
    “Of course I can hear you , silly!”Bobby said.Then my cheeks turned so red of embarrassment that i looked like a tomato. Then it hit me.
    “Of course the introduction?!?”I whispered so low that Bobby couldn’t hear me but i thought wrong , so wrong.
    “What did you say?”Bobby asked really curious i think more curious than me.
    “AHHHHHHHHHH!”I screamed. I landed with a big SPLASH!I noticed that I was stuck and I couldn’t swim up and i was running out of breath. Then i noticed i was drowning and that i was stuck i a hook. Then I heard my mom scream and called for my dad. Bobby jumped up “Oh!I said why don’t we go outside and played!?”I said changing the topic immediately.Then we went outside. We were playing tag , so I ran and ran and ran when BOOM! I tripped over a ball and fell in the well.
    and dived to get me.
    “He was waterproof” i exclaimed underwater which took some of my breath. Then he grabbed me , unhooked me and swam up. Then i saw my mom face and heard a churning voice.
    “You blacked out?!?” Bobby said.I was so shocked that I did.
    “Really!” I almost screamed.
    “Yea , you fell in the well remember?” he said his voice full with water.
    “Yea I remember , but thanks for saving my life!” I said.
    “Anytime”he said. Later it turns out that he wasn’t waterproof and shut off in July 27,2016 at 4:00pm. But i will never forget the day he saved my life. But Bobby will always be remembered as a robotic hero.
