I am amazed by this event! I was her StM from age 9 to 18 and loved her totally! She messaged me informing I was lacking on the 30th birthday front! I told her I love her and she is further ahead at 30 than I was! She is my eldest DDs older sister so has that place as well as the one she h

I don't understand, have you not seen her since she was 18?

I don't know that you should be touched so much as mortified tbh?!

30? Isn't it time she grew up a bit?

Touched? Do you mean embarrassed?

So you mean you thought about her birthday but didn't actually do anything about it... which to me would seem awfully like you forgot it.

I would be upset if someone who professed to love me so much neglected to mark a landmark birthday. I don't think it's a childish thing for her to be upset.

Unless there was a gift/card sent by OP and the message from the DSD is dissing the value/thought involved?

AnnabelleLee, no not at all, she is looking for love from the parents she had left!

You are touched that she messaged you to say you neglected her birthday?

I don't get it Confused

Are you touched that she thought of you and missed you, is that what you mean?

Ach, you're making no sense whatsoever. And using too many exclamation marks. I'm off.

I don't really understand - I get that you're touched that she cares that you forgot, but why did you forget?

I think Mamma means that her DSD has got in touch to say her 30th is missing MTJ there!

I think that's lovely. Being a SM is hard and it's nice she remembers you and your role 12 years on
