If nothing else, as the sole money provider of the family, it means any birthday presents for me are things that I ask for, which are then purchased with the money I bring in. I know what she does is work, it just doesn't get a signed paycheck in her name every two weeks, so it still counts as a job in my mind.
I do my damndest to be a good dad to them, and a good husband to my wife. Well, we both do part of the child raising. My wife Karen is a wonderful lady, and her job is taking care of the house and raising our lovely children. I have never been one for making a big deal out of celebrating my birthday, much less asking for a present.
