✏ Rules
- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

No, I'm taking about literally receiving any presents at all and making opening then a big performance.
Where I'm at, it's very normal to not open presents if there are any (it's also normal to have a no presents party). Instead the kid receiving gifts opens them after everyone leaves. I'm not sure where it started but I like it.
I'm lucky that most of the parents at my kid's preschool put "no presents please" on birthday invitations lol
