I have two boys, aged 12 and 8. It's my birthday today and, as usual, neither of them has got me a card. Not even a home-made one. No presents. Not even a "happy birthday!" or a cup of tea or ANYTHING.
I feel a bit flat.
AIBU to be annoyed? I told my oldest DS, "Oh I see we're not doing cards or presents this year, then? I'll remember that on your birthday." (He'll be 13 in a few weeks.) I'll obviously not keep that threat! But it's the way he didn't even ACKNOWLEDGE it.
Am I expecting too much? Or am I raising selfish kids?
We don't live with their Dad so he's not here to remind them. But my DH is here and although he got me a card and gifts, the boys haven't done anything. I feel a bit taken for granted, TBH. AIBU?
