Just that really.

My DP was called back to work overseas on thurs.

My dad is really poorly. Possibly cancer

I had a vomiting bug yesterday.

My teen son today has been a Knobhead and called me brain dead. Told me he can't stand me and that I don't love him.

Happy birthday hey.

I did get some lovely presents. Necklace, candles, trainers. Pjs,

I just went and bought myself a new jumper and some sweets,

My last birthday as a miss too!

Teenagers can be dicks sometimes. Ignore that.
Enjoy your sweets and happy birthday Flowers

Glad you treated yourself I'd have done the same. I hope things improve soon for you.

Happy Birthday Flowers

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday OP! It's my birthday too today. & tbh yes, I'm not spending it how I'd prefer - DS is at another birthday party with DH & I'm home with DD who isn't very well. We're currently watching Junior Bake Off & not doing much else.
But I had a good day yesterday; & DH & I are going out next weekend & have the day together on Tuesday when DC are at school. My solution is to spread the celebration over several weeks 😁
Enjoy your sweets & presents & find something you want to do next weekend.

Your teen told you that ON YOUR BIRTHDAY?

Mammma91 · 21/01/2024 13:48

Teenagers are brutal with their words. Happy birthday OP, when will you partner be home? Have some of your favourite dinner and enjoy the rest of your day.

Sugarfish · 21/01/2024 14:08

Happy Birthday!

How old is the teen? Can you just fuck off out the house and leave him for the day. Go and do something you enjoy?

Notalldogs23 · 21/01/2024 14:12

Tell your son he's being horrible and you're disappointed in him - teenagers can be dicks but we get to call them out on it.

Ugh, that sucks.

Yup. Amongst other things, he's in his room now away from me

Oh I did call him out and I popped to the local pub for a couple of drinks and left him to it. He's 17 next month. Ironic that his birthday in 3 weeks.

Thank you all! I had a lovely few hours since I posted this. I'm going home soon so order a takeaway and binge watch tv whilst ignoring said teen (I'll feed him of course)

Well on his birthday he won't be getting anything much will he? 🤷‍♀️

What would he feel if you said the same to him as he has said to you, on HIS birthday, I wonder...
