It's official!! We have turned from being parents to just a simple automated teller machine, or "ATM."
Our eldest son, Nick, whose birthday is in late June asked to celebrate his birthday early with his buddies from school. Unlike prior years where he would tell us how he likes to celebrate his birthday and we would do all the planning, transporting, chaperoning, financing and food. This year, he just asked us for "financing."
He had wanted to celebrate his birthday at the water park in Bali at the northern outskirt of Taipei City. Due to the uncertainty in the weather condition, he had to make an backup plan, roller skating. He invited 22 friends, coordinated all of transportation (sharing of taxis), took care of all the communications and food. All he wanted from us was, $$$. No birthday cake with candles, no birthday photos, no birthday dinner and definitely no show!!
Fortunately, we do get to celebrate his REAL birthday in late June, with family, a few friends, a birthday cake and lots of photos!
