Whose party is it anyway?
I went to a wedding or was it a child’s birthday party? I kinda got confused the phone call I received was an invitation to a 4 year old birthday. Upon arrival, I asked myself did I misunderstand is this really a wedding?
What’s with some Ethio parents giving their children a birthday party in an all out wedding style? If it’s a child’s birthday party then shouldn’t more children be invited? If it’s a child’s birthday party shouldn’t it start early instead of 4pm?
If it’s a child’s birthday party why are they serving alcohol? If it’s a child’s birthday party why are they inviting more adults who have no children? If it’s a child’s birthday party why are they serving kurte? If it’s a child’s birthday party why is there music for adult style dancing? If it’s a child’s birthday party then why is the ending time 1am?
All these questions I ask myself whenever I’m invited to a child’s birthday party. I don’t have children but I somehow have fallen into these invitation lists. I went to one recently and yes I took lots and lots of pictures of the grand buffet prepared for the adults and the tiny table for the kids.
The kids were being served a once frozen and recently micro waved chicken nuggets, chips, and hot dogs. Their beverage consisted of juicy drinks. Entertainment was….well one tired looking, almost ready for retirement, clown who wants to practice painting faces for fun and get paid in the process. Well it’s all good for a child’s birthday party right?
Wrong….look over across the room and you find a grand buffet set up for a full course consisting of doro wat, kitfo, kurte, gomen, salata, etc. Oh and let us not forget the full bar. It started at 4pm and ended after 1am. By around 7pm the adults were laughing and having a good time. Yes I enjoyed myself very much and for a second didn’t even notice the birthday boy.
Cake cutting for who again? There were two cakes one from a special European bakery and had rum in it and the mom announced this is only for the adults. Huh? Then one small chocolate like cake from a local bakery for the kids with way too much icing and didn’t look appealing at all. I didn’t get it but then it was not my child’s birthday party so I shut up and enjoyed it.
I wonder do they invite more adults to get more gifts or are they using their child’s special day as an excuse to let loose and have a good time?
There were about 10 kids versus about 40 adults. If they invite me I will go but I have always wondered….hmmmm….don’t you think a child’s birthday party should be filled with kids, fun, and activities for the kids?

I dont see why you are so disgusted by this, people love to celebrate, and they will use the smallest reason to gather among friends and live it up. Thats what life is about, experiences. I think you resent them because you might not have enough experiences in your life. Anyways a birthday party for a four year old, is an experience for family and friends, not simply for the four year old. SO i say to you CELEBRATE LIFE and don’t find reasons to gripe and wine.
Celebr8nt,
This is so on point. Just this weekend we were having lunch on Fairfax ave and there was a full blown party at the hall next door….with a full band….with Shambel / Tagel (or one of those) singing YeGeter Shega and Arada…i really thought it was some kind of mels but later found out it was a 5 year old’s b.day party….m’ts
ChuckyCheese Manen Gedele ???
FlorNueva, you just like celebratelife, griping and wining when you dont need to, because its not you at the party.
Yes I agree. If it’s Birthday for kids only kids should be invited. Alcohol not served let us not be bad example for the kids by exposing them to alcohol this early in life. The party ends up being more for them, a reason to drink and have fun but not for the kids.
Well also dont invite people without kids unless they are close family.
The kids will enjoy chucky chees better anyways.
My mom and I always wonder about this. Kid’s birthday parties are just another reason for grown folks to get togehter, which defeats the purpose of the celebration. Food, drink, activities should be focused towards the children. Give the birthday boy or girl all the attention he/she needs atleast for one day. When I was a kid, I looked forward to my birthday celebration every year because of the attention, presents, activities, and friends coming over etc etc.
I say no grown folks at kid’s birthday parties!
Celebrate;
You are not alone in this observation. A kid birth day should be for the kids; most often the adults hijack it to have a good time. Belije asabo endemebalew…The birth day is forgotten and alcohol and liquor drink are poured until late hours; let us not be a bad example. When ever there is a gathering the kids are most of the time at the back seat; the food prepared is for the adults; the drink are for the adult; the adults feed themselves before the kids. I am not against the adults having a good time; but where is the balance? One time I was invited to a birthday and the lunch item does not include any kids’ meal; I asked the host to call for a pizza for the kids.
What I don’t get is, if the adults want to have a party why dont they just have an adult only party of their own? They don’t need to use their kids special day as an excuse….
They have 364 days to have a party…leave that one special day for the kid.
I love kids. I am in favor of having kids on all types of parties, not just their birthdays. Of course being a Pente, alcohol is not an issue on our parties. That makes it easier to include kids on all parties. I had a separate room with games and separate menu for just kids on my wedding. The best picture of my wedding is taken in that room with all the kids all over us.
Though I don’t do adult parties for my kids’ birthdays, I am not against the idea as long as there is a good plan for the kids too. Seeing your kids reaching the yearly milestones is worth celebrating. I don’t have to do everything the American way. In fact, I like the uniqueness of that.
Americans don’t use their kids party to have fun. they only invite kids.
This is an Ethiopian thing in America. Get the azmari, the Alcohol out ………. and the kids are at the back sit
Celeb, I was invited to one of those type of birthday party recently and there was a Blue Label whisky bottle on every table and the decoration was like a wedding it had nothing to do with a kid. I am so against people using their kids birthday as an excuse to have a party.
Money Mek, this is not about “not having enough experience or jealousy” as you put it on your post, it is about the principle. If it is a kid’s birthday, it should focus on the kid and his friends and ofcourse you will have some things for the adults. I wonder how you will feel if you were a kid and your parents did that to you?
Oh my god i thought i was the only person who was wondering why in hell parents do that for their child b-day. I think habesha people confused wedding and child b-day. I wonder if they are going to tell their kids don’t even think about having a weeding when you grow up, because your b-day was like a weeding. I think Childs b-days should take a place at a park, and only the Childs friends should be there…as far as food pizza and of course cake. The other extra stuff that habesha folks do is just for their own enjoyment they don’t care about their kids. Well at list that is how i feel.
Money Mek, sweet puffy poo I think you’re one of the one’s who throw these types of parties. I will gripe and whine about this issue forever and if you don’t like it then stop hosting the parties.
Kids have the same right to enjoy their special day as adults do crashing the child’s party. Find a reason and a day to celebrate life besides your child’s birth day so STOP trying to justify their actions! Btw are you the one who hosted the party…stop the whining! Geeezzzz.
FlorNueva/Selam, What happened to Chucky Cheese? That’s where the kids feel most comfortable anyway.
Kebe, that’s exactly the way kids are supposed to feel on their day.
Bed_ford, I can tell you’re a good person and even a better father. Everything you say points in that direction.
How many people would look out for the kids by requesting a pizza?
Kikiye, I think by separating the parties they can’t kill two birds with one stone..
Dinich, Keep up your great role as a great dad!
Selam, So true it’s an Ethio thing.
Abebe, Blue label now that’s showing off to the max but it must’ve been a nice party. Poor kids though seeing that is so not fair.
Konjit, I once attended a child’s party at a park, A couple of the kids ran off in the park and got lost and no one noticed until it was time to go. Can you believe it? They put so much effort in planning the party but didn’t even hire someone to watch the kids.
Ethio parents never understand what child’s b-day is all about. One of you wrote why don’t they take them to chucky cheeses? I have funny story on that. Well you know how in Ethiopia people open business with similar names of western places. Well they have now something like chucky cheeses. They don’t call it that. But the idea behind it. What the ethiopian version has that the west doesn’t have is ADULT in it. Can you believe the adults in Ethiopia would show up in a place like chucky cheese with tej, tela, whiskey, and beer. I am not kidding. and i forgot tire siga and bahil zefen for the adults to do their eskista while completely drunk.
Ha ha ha. I am so happy on this post. The best post ever.
Hi,
I think a lot of people in this chat room have forgotten where they come from. It does not matter whose birthday it is the 1 year old to the 100 year old, depending on class, there will always be a full blown party. People just forget where they come from and by adopting some elses way of thinking they actually think they are better and much more thoughtful than those who adhere to our cultural norms. Just f***ing grow up the party was never about never for you, just be thankful you got invited to part take a celebration the family has deemed appropriate.
This is a nice topic. Let’s be honest, growing up what kind of birthday parties did we have? Ofcourse this is a question to those who grew up back home. We had parties, with both adults and kids. We never had a special menu prepared for the children, yes we had biscut, cake and coka, that’s it. And we never had any special activities prepared for the children, except ‘gebi wust merot’. So we can’t really critisize these people. Some people are still holding on to the Ethiopian style. Children have never been priorities. Yes, people love thier kids, but they are just kids. So would i want to do a brithday party for my kid the Ethiopian way, NO, but i can totaly understand where this people are coming from.
I remember the table laden with a good bunch of Cherialia biscuits, lots of desta keremela, some yemar keremela, even some yegunfan kermela, anes yale defo dabo, fendisha, bale aser santim shama, a mixture of fanta, coca and canada-dry in addition to yegebs Tela or filter filled in assorted bottles, a fashko or two saris or awash vino and a bottle of ouzo. Not forgetting the injera with two or three aynet wots and coffee either. That was the way back home, and it was not because it happens on gabriel’s day.
Don’t go to these parties when invited, in fact be frank and explain why you would not come. If you have kids, when celebrating their birthday, invite only kids telling the parents to come and collect their children at a specific time.
To tell you the truth guys, I don’t understand yall’s problems with this, if I was a kid and there was a gathering in my name, the more the merrier. I would be appreciative that I had a party at all. Its supposed to be for everyone, I think its the American way to just have a kids party and focus on the kids. Its the ethiopian way to incorporate kids, family and friends, and I love that about our culture. It seems some of you are Americanized and want to spoil only the kids, its part of our culture to celebrate together and go all out. All the more power to us. I haven’t thrown these types of parties but when i have kids, i definitly will and i will serve alcohol. Alcohol in other cultures like ours is accepted, and kids are not out of control as Americans, and the kids know its for adults. I think some of your are Americanized, and have American fears, whereas in ethiopia you know they drink THEJE or SAMBUCA in the household not to mention whiskey. And growwing up in ethiopia, there was alcohol around but i never even thought about it until now. So tell me are you “the hater’s” that out of touch with your ethiopian culture???//??/???????????????????????
You guys are arguing over how other people should throw a party to their own kids. It is their kids, money, friends and time. If you don’t agree with the whole concept then do not go to the party and tell the parents your reason. Otherwise just like the author herself don’t be a hypocrite. You guys still go to those gatherings and enjoy yourself. Have you considered that maybe the parents don’t know better, that is how they were raised and that is what they appreciate and not the Anglo American culture where life revolvs around the kids and that raise self-centered brats. So please save your snobbishness.
Story, thanks for sharing that is so funny. Do they have the employees dressed up as the mouse doing the dance (eskesta)? I have to see it when I go to Addis.
Stupid, well your name says it all to describe your comments and hate to break it to you but when you’re invited the party is somewhat about you and your presence but should focus mainly on the guest of honor – the child. As far as being thankful for the invitation nope sorry it comes with a price and it’s called a gift.
Overall for those who agree that this is the appropriate way of throwing a child’s party I strongly disagree. I remember in Addis, as a child, having and attending birthday parties and it was about the child. Maybe pizza wasn’t ordered but it wasn’t a lavish get together for the adults. So when I attend these parties I know it’s a show and tell moment for the adults.
Oh yeah, I will continue attending cause I like the kids and will be there for their special day. I’m not gonna take out on the child for what their parents are not doing right.
Celeb, if there is no conflict between your original post and last comment then you are spending most of the late afternoon and some of the evening time playing with the kids, until most of them leave. I will do that if I was in your place. Your post does not make it cleaar whether you are invited as a friend, acquaintance or for your celebrity status in the community. Whatever the case maybe, you can still either make your case to the folks/friends/acquaintances, shun these events altogether or wash your hands off from being part of the “goji bahel”, if that is what events like these amount to eventually. If these are your close friends’ kids, then you can choose another day to celebrate it your chosen way. Your absence may not be felt by the kids, unless of course the “ignorant” parents set them against you.
zgent, I sense a bit of sarcasm in your comment but it’s all good. Yes these are kids that I know and parents that I’m friends with or friends of the family.
I will not write about something I haven’t already addressed with the person. Those parents who asked their guests what they thought, I’ve spoken the truth to. So your solution is to stop attending and prove what that I’m mad at the child or the parent? Wouldn’t it be a better solution to discuss this issue in hopes that the kids will get the attention they deserve on their special day?
So sorry if you misunderstood it to mean I’m all that and a cup of tea. This is not something only I see as being wrong. Also, don’t know what “goji” means so you’ll have to define that.
To Celeb,
No need to get touchy, but as an ethiopian, ethiopians will do as such. It’s okay to be americanized, its okay to forget where you come from, but its not okay for you to characterize those that uphold their culture as ignorants. If you consider yourself an ethiopian you must unlearn all this western ideas not all but those like in this case that targets our way of life. As moneymek explains birthdays and other celebrations are for family and friends, “its my childs birthday I will share it with my friends and family” do you understand that, I guess not since you consider yourself so enlightened it has made forget who you are and where you come from. You need to contemplate that, because in our culture it’s about family and friends coming together and part taking in each others happy moments. Cheers!
My son just turned one recently. Because we live in a far away land, we had a very modest celebration with four adults and three kids invited and it was quiet fun.
Back home, first birthdays are a huge deal. I suppose, it is not surprising given the high mortality rate. Turning one is an indication a child’s survival outlook.
I have been to birthdays where people went all out and invited everyone they knew. Because they didn’t have a lot of money, the invited got a cup of watered down Fanta and a piece of Abehsa Bread. I have been to first birthdays where all there was was some kolo and nifro.
On the other extreme, I have heard of people throwing huge parties in rented hallways; I am glad I have never been to one.
Mostly, I have been to modest celebrations in people’s homes.
For my son’s birthday, I wish I was back home. I wish he was surrounded by his grandparents; his uncles, aunts, and their friends; his great uncles and aunts, and their children who are all a decade older than him; and all my friends irregardless of whether they have kids or not. And our beloved doctor that so skillfully brought him into this world.
These were all the people that anticipated his birth. They were there touching him through my tummy when I was pregnant. There were there to celebrate his birth. They were there for his baptism.
I would have served kitfo, ayeb, gomen and kocho; because it would have been easy to make. There would have been whiskey for the older men and beer for everyone else who fancies alcohol. There, of course, would have been soda.
There would have been several cakes because in addition to the one I’d buy for the day people would have brought others. But there would also have been some Abesha Bread, kolo, and fendisha. There would have been coffee roasted in the living room accompanied by the smoke of etan. The floors would have been covered with fresh grass and ketema.
Most of all, there would have been conversation, laughter, and love. Old debates would have cropped up. Jokes would have been retold. Kids would have been kissed and re-kissed, their cheeks pinched by adults before they disappeared to play with each other away from adult scrutiny. There would have been spilled soda and may be a bottle or two broken.
At the end of this long beautiful day, there would have been a hell of a lot to clean up.
And I would have been incredibly happy.
Because I believe kids, just like everyone else, should exist within a loving community that includes people of all ages.
Oh! Oh! Oh! and…. and … I birthed the little bugger and survived. Technically, is my “birth day” too:)…Ha.
This reminds me of the argument I had with my Wife when it was time to celebrate our sons First B. Day. I wanted to invite all our family and Friends and have a jolly good time and my wife wanted to limit the invite list to siblings and only family and friends that have kids close in age to our son.
Needles to say after a compromise we ended up having a party that did not include all the guest on my list but more than what my wife wanted.
Just as the different views expressed here we all have different test. It does not mean one is better than the other. My desire is based on my experience growing up where any opportunity to bring friends and families together was never missed. Given the hectic life style we have, there is not as much opportunity to get together. Any opportunity to bring people together for a good time and share an important occasion as a child’s Birth Day should not be missed in my eyes. But don’t tell my wife I said that
betam betam betam thank you for sharing yemi… shit for buchelas bday I would have gone!! with a gift!!
Celeb, I guess there was some unintentional sarcasm in my post, however it was not meant to upset you or suggesting that you think you are all that… It was because I thought there was a bit of a conflict in your post. Personally, I go along with what Yemi posted, she has succintly put all that was in my mind and more. My first comment #18 was a bit of that. I was remembering the pictures she received from family and friends on Lisans birthday. I also see something grating and tasteless in the lavish parties that are meant to show off. I don’t want to be part of that spectacle either. That was why I suggested the different alternatives in the previous post.
I am sure you know what goji is, however, “Goji” means harmful. Without considering the cultural context and the sentiment ingrained in some traditions and customs they are labeled as detrimental and backward. I was hoping that this celebrating a childs birthday with adults and childless family members and friends is not one of them.
Yes birthdays could be a great thing for many reasons. My mom used to celebrate my birthday even when I was thousands of miles away from home. I never minded the large bill I pay for overseas call while chatting (egelEm yichiteleh anagrat eyetebalku) with the family and neighbours gathered in our house on that day.
when the parents high jack their kid’s b-day party, not only do they show that they are selfish but also more concerned about impressing their friends than their child’s happiness. I agree, the day oughta be the children’s day of celebration. if the parents wants to celebrate their child’s birthday in a big way, then they are perfectly entitled to do so. only thing is that everything present should be something kids enjoy, play with and consume.
Ethiopians shouldn’t be so shy about throwing a party just for the sake of one, there really doesn’t have to be an event.
[quote comment="42603"]Ethio parents never understand what child’s b-day is all about. One of you wrote why don’t they take them to chucky cheeses? I have funny story on that.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Oh wow, that is so funny. Poor kids! We need more parenting skill class for habesha parents. I mean now days i see more parents doing the wrong things it is just sad. I will never i mean ever take my kids to a party that involves heavy drinking…etc. Why should they suffer, i don’t think i will like it if my mom takes me to some drinking party, although it sounds fun i don’t think I will enjoy kicking it with people who are much older than I am. I think kids should hang out and play with other kids, not with their parent friends. Any how i love your comment i was laughing so hard.
Hey Nolawi, with a Bernos t in tow, right?;)
I guess I am one of those “selfish” mamas.
Here is the problem as I see it: Kids are treated as OBJECTS by most Ethiopian parents (and this became VERY clear to me when I visited ET a few years ago) and in the western world, they are treated as PEOPLE. In my view, you need to involve children in the decision making process when you are making a decisions about something that is going to affect them. If you asked a child how they would like to celebrate their birthday, I assure you they would not say, they would love to have alcohol, grown up conversation, and injera and wet. Stop living your lives through your children!!!
It is always interesting to me how some of you are quick to attack those that are progressive and those that have chosen to adapt the best of the western world by saying they are acting “Americanized”. Funny, if disrespecting people (yes that includes children) is Ethiopian, then I’m out!
Interesting to read different ppl’s views on this. I think anything on the extreme is always bad. If adults forget it’s a child’s b-day and the celebration focuses a lot more on their own entertainment, that’s bad. However, I don’t c anything wrong with adults being present at children’s b-day.
I grew up celebrating my birthday with all the cousins and friends as well as all the aunts, uncles and parents’ friends…..and to be honest, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Actually it’s one of the reasons that instilled in me a sense of what family meant…I grew up thinking that bros and sis, cousins, uncles and aunts are part of the same family and belong together everywhere. I can understand why some of you think the presence of alcohol at a child’s birthday can have a bad effect/influence…but to be honest, none of us kids even thought of the alcohol…each of us knew that was nothing to be touched by us….and ‘an adult thing’. With many of my nephews and nieces born here, am always amazed to see the same pattern. The only difference is that they get asked where they want to celebrate their b-day every year (since we don’t want them to feel different from their classmates and friends who might celebrate it at Chucky cheese minamin)…and they always go for celebrating it at home with their friends invited over…and playing their fav games. They have even started enjoying their ‘what used to be embarrassing moment in front of their friends’, which is the half an hour or so, when they are forced to sit down with us and take turns to tell us what they will do for their fav person (mom, dad, uncle, aunt..etc) when they grow up. Their answers make me laugh…they are selfish, I doubt we were like that as children…answers often have ” after I buy myself…, then…” We also have eskesta competition for them (born here, u should’ve seen the pride of the winner of the eskesta….who gets a few dollars…American kids luvvve money)…and if they enjoy our presence half as much as we do theirs…..is heavens!
Timo….PLEAZZE! who treats them more of objects..the American parents who count every year for 18 years to throw their kids out…or the Ethio parents who are soooo loving? MTS.
This was a very good post. Wudenesh Iam in agreement with you. Timo being Amercianized Westernized does not mean you are progressive with all due respect. Growing up in Ethiopia I can remember going to birthday parties and just having fun with all the kids there, you know playing soccer, hide and go seek and so on. I don’t ever remember sitting there with the other kids and saying dam these adults they have hijacked our time again. We were too busy eating cake running around high on sugar. Look if you want to have a western style birthday party for your children or a traditional one with everyone there its your progative the most important thing here is which ever way we do it we take the time out to celebrate our childrens birthdays to let them know we love them. I totally think the way anyone would answer this question is related to their upbringing. By this I mean did you grow up in ethiopia or some other place? Do you still identify with your ethiopian side or the western side? And most of all if you are progressive or not? Just kidding Timo.
Zgent, I think it was intentional but like I said it’s all good. I didn’t get upset actually I rarely get upset but I’d love it if you could be specific on what the conflict is. “Goji” I really didn’t know what it meant but now that you defined it I do know. I just mispronounced it and never seen it used with bahel.
Timo, I’m so with you on this one. Children are put on the back burner, it’s almost like they don’t exist especially when the adult wants the spot light. I have no problem with parties where both children and adults are present and alcohol is served but when it’s a child’s birthday party then treat it for what it is ‘a child’s birthday party’.
It is not only Non Abesha’s but some Ethio parents actually throw children friendly parties. Only the few who would rather show off to the adults then please the children will host an adult friendly party for a child.
To be honest I hate the word “Americanized” but Money Mek wanted to define him/herself as such, I guess. Never knew why people used it to refer to someone who questions certain behaviors. If it’s wrong it’s wrong there is no being “Americanized” about it.
Well…I have always wondered about this issue and I’ve only seen it out here enji when I was growing up, the ppl invited to the birthdays were really the kids, the cousins, and some more kids…the parents normally just drop their kids off and are not invited to the birthday party…in fact it was a kids/relatives kinda party…but that was then…Now, it seems there aren’t that many children to mamoq the party…hell, there aren’t too many kids the parents AND the kids know to invite over….instead the parents invite their friends to celebrate the occasion cos normally the adults are very much part of the child’s life. in short ….a shortage of Abesha kids meselegn…if the child is really interactive though, they can invite a class full of kids or daycare full of kids
I think “going all out” and “showing off” is in every culture. My kids go to other kids parties and come back with expensive gifts which make me wonder, “if this is the party favor gift, then how much does the actual party cost”. It is unreal these days how non-abesha parents throw parties as well.
When we celebrate birthdays, I will have the kid involved in every process, starting picking the invitees from school, mailing out invitations or hand delivering them. Picking a theme and a place for the party, keeping a log of who responded and who didn’t, going shopping for the theme, choosing the birthday cake, etc. The process leading up to the party usually is a fun experience for my child. And then I will have a modest one for close friends and relatives at home. The kids love that because all the attention is on them. Hugs and kisses from grandmas and aunties add to it. Plus it is more birthday gifts. Do I serve alcohol. No. Is it the right way to do it? I don’t know. Does it work for us? yes.
Abesha people like to do it big. I don’t see anything wrong with that. It’s just an event were grown folks relax and enjoy themselves and kids get some unsupervised time, they get high off sugar and release energy. Anyways that’s the only time family & friends gather around as one. We should pass on the tradition or you can take your kids to Chucky Cheese. Your baby you decide.
Def. an Abesha thing. if americans did it this way i dont think it would of ever came up. I really dont see it as a problem, so what if theres rum in the cake the parents are the ones who did all the work they deserve to have the best time. for the five year old hes just a kid he wont know the diff.
Hey! You know the old saying. I know how to say it in Amharic. Anyways. These people are the rich folks you are talking about. They like to party big.
I like the colorful moseb picture.
Peace out.
I missed a good opportunity to aser kid milasen mezergat on this topic but I think it would be like beating the dead horse since I see the argument, from both end, have been well discussed. I just came to say one word…
Sweet 16! The MTV show.
I swear all I want to do when I watch this damn shows is to reach out and slap the baby Buddha out of the ungrateful, foul spittin children while at the same time shake the parents like the shake’n’bake in my pantry. Rotten…just simply rotten. Ere Wediya! Mts.
Amazing article, wish I could come up with news like that for my webpage, LMFAO.
You would think if they were going to post comments they would take the time to say something real…?
