why is liking holidays childish?

Is it a bad thing that im 23 years old and enjoy getting small gifts on holidays such as Mothers day, Christmas and my birthday?? My boyfriend (daughters father) has told me that I dont deserve anything on holidays because I am no longer a child. I got,…I will get our daughter things on the holidays and not you, your an adult. Go buy them yourself. On mothers day, I had to remind him to even say it to me and I got nothing because he doesnt believe in holidays when mothers day is probably the most important to me. I would have been ok with a kiss in the morning and a Happy Mothers Day. Im pretty simple.

I get him things on almost every holiday because thats how I was brought up. Does that make me a child to enjoy holidays?? Am I any less of an adult to enjoy them?? Am I a child to expect something simple and small from my boyfriend on holidays I enjoy like, Mothers day, my Birthday and Christmas?

Answer #1

im 16 and think thts ridiculous!!! my mom is 50 and my dad is 57. They both still get stuff on holidays. Some holidays they make up as an excuse to get each other gifts, So of course your not to old!!

Answer #2

I think your just a mom well at least your not like my mom I mean I cook her breakfast lunch and dinner I kissed her on the cheek and the forehead then I message her feet and back then we watched a movie while I snuggled next to her then she said we can leave have some time to owrselfs but when I come back an hr later she has a bottle of 151 rum halfway down crying then she starts yelling at us saying she really didnt mean for us to leave that were all selfish little stupid kids but I think your way better than a mom and its not childish to like holidays
