Kylie Kelce, wife of NFL star Jason Kelce, has established a firm rule for her children's birthday celebrations: only the birthday child receives gifts. During a recent episode of her podcast, Not Gonna Lie, Kelce emphasized her stance against the practice of giving presents to siblings or other attendees at these events.
"I am vehemently against the idea of other kids getting birthday presents on a child's birthday," she stated. Kelce believes that distributing gifts to non-birthday children diminishes the significance of the celebration for the honoree. "When your siblings get presents for your birthday, it reduces your birthday," she explained. "It's not their birthday; it's your birthday."
She further expressed concerns that this practice fosters a sense of entitlement among children, likening it to a "participation trophy" mentality. By reserving gift-giving exclusively for the birthday child, Kelce aims to teach her children the value of celebrating others without expecting something in return.
In addition to her views on gift-giving, Kelce shared her perspective on hosting large birthday parties for young children. With two of her daughters' birthdays approaching, Kylie Kelce reflected on the nature of these celebrations. "I am not a big fan of big birthdays for babies," she itted.
Kelce considers such elaborate events to be more for the parents' benefit, often resulting in added stress. Instead, she prefers a simpler approach: selecting a special cake based on the birthday child's interests and allowing them to enjoy it in a relaxed setting. This method, she believes, makes the day memorable without unnecessary extravagance.
As she and Jason anticipate the arrival of their fourth child, Kelce continues to advocate for meaningful and straightforward family traditions. Her approach to birthday celebrations reflects a desire to instill gratitude and appreciation in her children, ensuring that each milestone is celebrated with genuine joy and focus on the individual.
