No way.
But I also want to point I don't take the day off from work on my kids' birthdays and I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all. I don't have subs except in the event of an emergency and I really try to limit the amount of random days I take off.
Birthdays here are already way over the top. I don't feel the need to close to all my families for them, pull my child out of school, spend all day doing awesome things and then have a rockin weekend party with our ginormous family on top of that.
Would be overkill imho.
Not sure I'd want to deal with the complex they'd likely develop in regards to the severe overindulgence
