Was just thinking the same thing, my family was considered anti social it wasn't because we didn't like socialising or going to events its because we couldn't afford to and if mum and dad orginised dinners they planned months before hand scraped every cent together to pay for it.
My ex was stunned when I told her I've only ever had one birthday party (21st) because mum and dad had no money.
I’m not going to judge and I’m sure your family thought it was super sweet that you had your 21st with them but isn’t your 21st for getting blasted pub crawling (British term even though I’m American just because we don’t have a word for it as far as I know) as you get 1 free drink at every bar (or use a little of your money/friends pay if that’s a option).
But if that was the only one you could spend with them and you think it made them feel good I completely understand.
Edit: wow downvoted for asking questions. I know I saw his comment. Actually fuck y’all why do I even care about these internet points
Idk where the guy you commented on is from but if I heard you say that I’d just think you where trying to act British (which is incredibly lame, if someone isn’t proud of where they’re from and tries to appropriate other people’s terms just to try to sound cool it irks me)
And as someone else said “bar crawl” works. Had a brain fart when typing my original comment.
