OK, this is totally a first world problem and I know there are FAR worse things I could have on my plate, but here goes.
Tomorrow is my b'day. Not a big birthday though. DH is working away (left last night, we'll see him on Friday night). Has been away for weeks, and putting in big hours for months. No present. Card "in the post". No present or card from DC (4 and 1, so clearly needed to be sorted by DH yesterday). I asked my siblings for a particular (cheap) gift between them but instead one DSis has bought me something I HATE (long saga re the White Co which I told her about at length. V generous but now White Co gives me the rage).
We're going out for dinner on Friday night w DF, DStepM, other Dsis (whose birthday is tomorrow and it's a big bday for her) and her DH. When I asked Dad if dinner might not be ALL about DSis (she has form), he laughed and said maybe only 98% about her. I suggested 55% (as it's a big one for her, not me).
I feel really neglected! And I realise that I need to get a grip. I have a nice day planned w friends and DC tomorrow, but I just feel like crying. I guess I just feel neglected by DH, my siblings and DP. I need to grow up, right?
