I would like a "man-child shower" please, because, well, adulthood is overrated, and someone's got to celebrate my refusal to grow up. The only rule is gifts must be over $100 and preferably luxury items, because if you're going to remain in arrested development, you should at least do it in style.

Or how about a "pre-procrastination" retreat? You know, to prepare myself for the intense mental struggle of putting off responsibilities. It's a grueling task, really, and requires a week-long stay at a spa to properly psych myself up for all that avoidance.

The moral of this tale? If you’re going to invent reasons for celebrations, go big and make them about you. Demand a "pre-new-haircut" party and insist on a cover charge to offset your styling expenses. Or throw a "mid-Netflix-show" bash to celebrate reaching the midpoint of that series you were half-watching last night. And hey, if your friends complain about the exorbitant gift expectations? Just remind them, it’s all about you celebrating your awesomeness.

In the same vein, why not declare a "post-weekend-recovery" brunch? Because let's face it, those 48 hours were absolutely exhausting, and you need some high-end cocktails and eggs to recover.

28-year-old woman refuses to babysit her sister’s 3 brat kids so she could go on a several weeks long “babymoon” with her new 62-year-old boyfriend: ‘She went off on a rant, calling me heartless’
Something we should all appreciate in this self-centered reality we're all a part of is the fairly new tradition of inventing reasons for celebrations and favors, we've reached new heights of egocentric brilliance.
Who needs actual milestones when you can create your own bespoke occasions? Why wait for a real urgency when you can just declare a "pre-existential-crisis" vacation, complete with a GoFundMe page to cover your stay in Bali?
The woman at the center of today's story is kind of over her sister's babysitting demands. Because this time, she and her husband 'need' to go on a "babymoon," the ultimate excuse for a vacation.
Need someone to watch the kids while you're off sipping pregnancy-appropriate margaritas? No problem! Just guilt-trip your sibling into babysitting duty, because what's a little family favor among relatives, right?
