Jeez Louise. I don't even know how I got myself into this dilemma. First off, let me state that I didn't even want anybody to know it was my birthday in the first place. It just seems the older I get, I see mine and other peoples' being disapppointments. Curse society's notion to have "so much fun" on your birthday. Damn I just want to get drunk with my homiez, dance with some homegirls & maybe get a number/action. So yeah that's the night I planned out with my friends even though I didn't tell them it was my birthday. But my family knows and wants me to go join them at another thing. Plus, I don't even get along with my sisters anymore so I know I'm going to have to fake it if I make it. Thing is, I'm only one person and can't be at two places at the same time. I can try to do both but I'm pretty sure that someone will feel disappointed in that I don't want to spend time with them. What would you do?

This is coming from a person who doesn't have close family ties, so my response is drastically different. If you're really 21, then, uh, I see no reason why you are forced to choose with whom you want to spend your time. After about 16-18 years of age, there comes a time when parents learn that their kid doesn't want to be around them for every birthday. I don't think it's right to abandon your family altogether after a certain age, but I don't think celebrating it with your family on your date of birth should be something mandatory. If you want to hang out with your friends rather than family, well, do it? You can't please everyone.
