I agree with your point of view, but this could only be applicable to your kids, your parents, your close friends, your wife, your siblings...etc

It is tactfulness to just thank someone who wished you happy birthday, it will not cost her few seconds, I don't want anything but a thanks or even a like.

Totally agree on the tactfulness of thanking someone when they wish you a HBday, that's common sense even.

But as soon as you add "......I don't want anything but a....." There is no selflessness in the word I

As soon as we take I out of it, our ego couldn't care less whether we were thanked or not
