And my mum has not acknowledged it at all. No card or present, or even a phone call or text. My dad has sent a card when he realised my mum hadn't and has given me some money. But tbh I'm not really bothered about that.
She is usually very selfish but this is a step further than normal and its left me feeling rather shit.
I've had to spend the day pretending it's ok in front of the kids.
She has instead used the day to complain on fb about how nobody cares about her.
Dont really want advice just wanted to vent I suppose.

Oh dear, that must be very hurtful!
I have found if people are generally scatty.. Are not into gifts etc then don't take too much notice.
Some people however are very much into dates, birthdays etc and they can use this as passive aggressive attacks to hurt. They show their love or displeasure through gifts

Op, don't let it ruin your day. 30 is a fabulous number!! Old enough to be wiser but young enough to have plenty of fun...

Happy birthday @Ginnymweasley 🍰 💐

She definitely remembered as she mentioned it to my sister on the phone yesterday. She will be punishing me for something.... dunno what though as I haven't seen her since the middle of feb as we live 200 miles apart and nationwide lockdown. I speak to her every week, she was fine when we spoke 3 days ago. On the plus side I got some lovely handmade gifts from the kids.

Happy birthday Ginny

I’m sorry you’ve been left feeling so rubbish on your special day. Very cruel to punish you for a perceived slight like this. Glad you had some lovely gifts from your DC.

I'm sorry, this must be tough. Happy birthday from one Ginny to another!

Happy birthday @Ginnymweasley. Today was our 20Th wedding anniversary and no one has acknowledged that apart from me. DH did-ish, he ordered a MoonPig card last week when I mentioned about trying to have a nice meal tonight. He didn’t take it out of the envelope it was posted to him in, write it or put in it the fresh envelope or anything. And it’s the same design he’s given me twice before.

Enjoy the next 27 mins Ginny.
