I find it hard to get behind the excessive gift-giving.
Besides Christmas, there is a never-ending cycle of holidays to buy for. It’s exhausting.If I had kids of my own, would I feel the same way? I know that part of the issue is that I don’t have childhood memories that make these occasions special.
I suggest that birthdays are actually milestone events that are very important to children, not necessarily because of the gifts, but because of the recognition. A birthday is quite literally the celebration of a person’s existence. Furthermore, if your husband is into gifts and gift-giving and you’re not — let him handle it! This is part of his family’s culture, and if he wants to keep it going, he’ll have to find a way to deal with it.We both are teachers and can carry over sick days.
I have been slowly building my sick time back up, with a goal of having six months of sick time saved. I want six months because, in the event of a disability, I will have the sick time needed to last me until disability insurance starts.I am grateful for the 50 days, but it is not close to six months’ worth.
