@@wasgehtabmv at least she celebrated you and tried to get the right present. sometimes people try and find a better deal than what’s sent in a link and end up getting the wrong thing still. beyblade and spinning tops are pretty similar imo if you don’t know what beyblade is, which most parents off the top of their mind wouldn’t know since they’re not watching commercials for it constantly like something like a ps5. some adults aren’t as saavy also to figure that out. once again seems like a very strange thing to be so hung up on, especially since you’re no longer a child at your age. it’s okay to be sad as a child, but to hold a grudge for something such as gifts on your birthday (even though you still received gifts), is very strange to me. tough life lesson but you’re not entitled to everything in the world you ask for, even if it’s your birthday, so the fact that you still were celebrated and received a gift that’s easy to confuse for what you wanted makes me think you weren’t very grateful. and you don’t need to keep saying you’re not alone in this, no one is alone in anything in the world. but holding grudges 15 years later for a *toy* is completely ridiculous and not something i’d be proud to keep saying that “i’m not alone” for. that’s all.

I was adopted at the age of 12 so I remember being with the people that brought me into the world. And I never until I was adopted experienced anything like what a birthday should consist of. I remember my first birthday with my family, I didnt touch any of my gifts for about 2 days. I was just waiting for someone to come in and take it from me. Your an amazing woman and person for giving these beautiful children a second chance.

I think people are just curious as to how they can afford everything they purchase. Birthdays alone cost $28,000 / year and then everything else that they spend money on, food, shelter, sports, outings, and on and on an on, when you have 14 kids it's hard to imagine how they have the money to do so much for them, but great that they do.

You know what a child celebrating his/her birthday with a blast is so amazing. I'm not from a foster care nor adopted - I have my own family but we didn't get spoiled on our birthday because we're not financially stable and there are 5 of us so we just usually have a cake, a pasta, loaf breads and then cola, we didn't received any gifts too. Idk but I think children's who has a family that spends so much in their birthdays is so damn lucky imo. Maybe that's the reason why I'm not particularly excited when my birthday comes because we didn't treat them as 'special day' of our lives. Just a normal day with a cake and a pasta for long life. And on top of that, my birthday is on the earlier 2nd week of December and the Christmas bonus & 13month pay or half-monthly salary was not given out yet so it was placed in a very unfortunate time. But the bonuses was already given usually a week before Christmas so we got money to spend on Christmas menu and that's where I can eat quite a variety of foods.

Hi Alicia!!! I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago. And I just want to tell you how awesome you are as a foster mother. I wish when I was in foster care I had foster parents like you guys. When you talked about some of the kids have never had birthdays and stuff like that I'm one of those kids. So when I see how you shop for her b-day it almost brought tears to my eyes😢nothing you done. I just wish I had a mom like you that really cared when I was a kid. Just keep doing what you and your hubby are doing. Because your kids a well 😍 take care and many blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

I think that is so true because when your parents are struggling with life birthdays just seems to be a source of stress for them not a loving day for the child. Being a mom with not alot of money I have always managed to do something and kids are grateful. Now that my kids are older they remember everything and say they loved it. Nevaeh seems to be very kind hearted and loving I'm so happy that she gets to be loved on a little bit it's probably something she is just not used to. ✌️✌️❤️❤️
