So........ a little off topic. It was my birthday yesterday, not to mention my golden birthday. My mom and my sister didn't call at all. Should I call them and remind them that it what day it was?
I'm always sending them gifts and flowers. Now I think I'm just going to stop.
I want to cry..............

Ohh, I am so sorry they let it slip their minds. I know it sucks, but I wish you a Happy Birthday. (and yes i would call and make them feel totally guilty
)
Happy Birthday!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
I am so sorry. That is a hard one. Happy Birthday to you. :flowerforyou: Not the same I know but I hope it sends you a little cheer. Hopefully it was because they were soo busy time just passed them by.0

lots of hugs coming your way!
I say call them too! Birthdays are special and should be acknowledged by family no matter what is going on in their own lives.
Happy birthday and let us know how the phone calls went.
Good luck!!

Hi
Oh, that stinks!!!!
I'm the WORST with b-days especially since I don't work and half the time have no clue what the day is
Maybe call them and remind then in a (nice way)....might feel better to get it off your chest

I know how you feel. Just got my license renewed yesterday as I am turning 50! and one of the other ladies joked that no matter how they take your picture, it always makes you look "older and fatter". Yeah, made my day.
I am sure that your birthday is important to your family and that the day just got away from them before they actually made the call. Now they probably feel bad and aren't sure what to do. You could send them an email card reminder or text them but try not to let it upset you. Don't hand them the power to control your emotions.0 -
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
well you know the rest
Hope you have a great day!!!:flowerforyou:0 -
It was my b'day yesterday too....Happy Birthday to us!0

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
mine was on Tuesday, and got some phone calls and emails. Had to call my mother in law to thank her for a present (which I will soon re-gift:laugh: ) and she said "oh! that's right, I totally forgot, I remembered yesterday, then totally forgot today"
yeah, yeah.
Then I got a call from my brother yesterday saying he was thinking about me all day, then forgot.
It's bad enough your old and birthdays don't really mean that much anymore, but to be forgotten, just makes it all that much worse!
Happy Golden Birthday!0 -
I remember from your wedding planning that they were making things a little difficult. So I wouldn't give their selfishness a second thought.
I stopped giving the donor (biologcal dad) gifts about 3 years after he stopped acknowledging my birthday when I was 16. It has saved me a lot of money over birthdays and Christmas, more for me!!! Buy yourself some shoes to celebrate their birthday. Slightly bitter towards the 'donor'.
Hope you still had a great day!
HAppy Birthday0 -
awww hugs!!!:flowerforyou:
Been there girl...sigh
my sweet 16th came and was going quick and no one...mom, dad, sister, brother's, aunts, grandmothers, uncles...cousins...we all lived on the same block...NO ONE remembered ...it was suppose to be the big one ...well one of them LOL(I even started thinking maybe I'll have a surprise party they're being sneaky LOL..how sad!)
...I was crushed! finally at around 6 pm I was in tears because I was stubborn and wouldn't remind them lol...then told my little sister why I was crying and she told my mom who ended up crying and hugging me and then my dad shot out for any ice cream cake he could fine...got on the phone called all the relatives and there we were 8pm at home singing happy bday to me over melted ice cream cake and tears w/ almost my entire family, some in their pjs....LOL.....its made up for it sort of....
lesson learned...start singing happy birthday to ME...really loud if it reaches noon and no one mentions it LOL....:ohwell:
hugs and ps...this is your birthday month so you get to celebrate the whole time LOL woo hoo!!!

Thank you all for all your Birthday Wishes and hugs! Happy birthday to all of you that have been "hurt" by forgetful people.
I sent out a text to my mom and sister a couple hours ago. Still no response. :grumble: HHHHmmmmmmmm..........
At least I have terrific friends like you guys!
Should I text again.... or just let it be?0 -

hugs!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sending lots of love and good wishes.
I would just let it be. Don't waste your time and energy. Take a deep breathe and let it go. The more you think about it the worst it will be. Go out and buy yourself a present. Smile and be at peace.0 -

First of all, Happy Birthday! Secondly, I hope that your fiance did something special for you or you have something nice planned for the weekend to celebrate. If I were in your situation, I would let it go. I wouldn't remind them again. The one person who you plan to be with the rest of your life should make your day special. Let the rest of them go. I'm sorry for you, because my feelings would be hurt, too, but, I sort of believe you make your own fun. Their loss. Plan on something with your fiance and let the rest go. I can't ever imagine forgetting one of my girls' b-days. :flowerforyou:
And just one more thing, looks to me like you're gonna have more expendable income this year. No more presents.....Your family set that precedent.0 -
I would call mom and say...."Happy B-lated LABOR DAY!".......
For my birthday, I always call ma and tell her this (Happy LABOR day!)....she gets a kick out of it!
It will be a subtle REMINDER....and get your point across at the same time. I think there was one BD when no one called me either...it hurts....and it sucks!
You'll be stewing about it til you talk to them about it......tell them you'll get them some Ginkgo Biloba....it's an herb that's suppose to enhance "memory"....
BTW...hope your day was special besides that lil ....snafu.....did you ever get that DRINK?:drinker:0 -
Gosh! I really hate it for you! Not only do they give you a hard time about your wedding but they COMPLETELY forget your Birthday... and a special one at that! I'm so sorry!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :flowerforyou:
It's about time to just say "Whatever" about them... I know they are family but what's the deal with them?!?!? They certainly aren't being very good to you. That's sad b/c one day they will regret these things they've done. But also keep in mind that one day you may regret letting them... don't be a doormat! You deserve better than that!!!
Hope your day gets better! :flowerforyou:

My sister told me that one time when her entire immediate family (and kids) forgot her birthday she waited until about 7 in the evening and then left and went to the store, bought a birthday cake, balloons, and party hats, brought them back and set it all up to throw a party for herself! She said everybody felt terrible and they've never forgotten since!0

THIS story made my eyes tear! OMG!.....and then I'm trying to think what I did or got for my 16th.....Hmmmm....still thinking!:ohwell:0 -
Still no phone call.... but whatever! They're probably just jealous that I get to go to Cancun! WooHoo!
They're also probably just jealous that I have such a great support group!
Thank you guys soooooooo much for being so supportive in my dealings w/ my fam-zillas (instead of bridezilla)!:smooched:
Hey, I did get the bacardi limon diet coke! Yummy and strong!0 -
Okay, I've got it!
They are giving you a surprise party, and are planning like they just forgot about your birthday!
Have any unusual plans tomorrow night?
Possibly 300 of your closest friends will be there too?
with a big
SURPRISE!!!
or not. But that WOULD be nice? eh?0 -
Happy belated birthday to you

happy birthday too you
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I know how you feel I used to have problems like that too until I told my family that I think I will forget their birthdays too , and christmas is getting to comercialised:laugh:
Now I do get a card and something nice from hubby, the kids and my mom will call, but my sister doesn't call me and the daughter in Law:explode: can sit in the same car and everybody else will say happy birthday and she won't, so I have decidet that I forget theirs too:bigsmile:
If you would live closer you could come by and I would share my diet coke chocolate fudge cake:bigsmile:0 -
Update.....
I finally received a voicemail from my mom and my sister.
Mom said, "happy birthday, sorry I missed it, but did you know...." then the call was lost.
Sister said "happy birthday, sorry I missed it, but my phone was broken all of yesterday, and today it's fixed. Otherwise I would have call."
Whatever.
It's all just putting salami on a black eye..... if it's not steak, it just doesn't work.
Thank you all for the incredible birthday wishes! I guess you can pick your awesome friends, not your poopy family.
PS I would love some Diet coke chocolate cake..... yum!0
