u r kinda expected to do it n in doing that u r """expected""" to receive a lot of money-gifts (money from ur family thatll get put into ur savings account that u can use when u turn 1

n at least 10 yrs ago that turned very much into the teens that were getting konfirmert having conversations abt how much money they got
ppl would have HUGE parties w SO many (extended) family members and i remember ppl in my class gloating abt getting like 70k kr as well as a whole ass bunad
do u wanna know what i got? cause my family is SMALL i literally do not have a dads side of my family we were 8 ppl (my mom, her bf, my sister, my aunt, uncle, cousin and two of my moms friends????????) ??? i got 5k kr and i was so thankful for that but damn that was tough having to answer when everyone would ask "so how much money did u get???" at school
i hate this tradition bc a lot of parents also use it to flaunt wealth
