AIBU to be a bit upset?

[oliviafrombolivia]

My daughter's godmother has failed to even wish her a happy birthday (for yesterday). She lives locally, has been around (seen posts on facebook). I am the type of person who tries really hard to always remember birthdays and get cards/presents to people/children on time as I think it is important and good manners and it makes the day special to hear from lots of people. (I have never failed to remember her childrens' birthdays). It meant a lot to me to ask people to be godparents to my children, it seems that my children don't matter that much to them. Am I being over sensitive? Kicking awaited.

YANBU... and I'm not basing this on the basis that she's the godmother, but on the basis that if you chose her to be a godmother means she is someone you deem important in terms of friendship/family.

Not unreasonable as such, but... very few of my children's godparents send them birthday cards/gifts. Some take it very seriously, others don't. You can't do anything about it, so no real point fretting.

YANBU. She's her godparent, and should take it seriously, or there's not much point in her agreeing to it, is there?

This isn't a distant, not seen very often, lost touch with person. It is a person who lives locally, her husband was my husband's best man. Can't work out whether I'm wallowing in self pity or justified to be upset.

YANBU.
I had to buy a load of 50p cards for DS' birthday this year to put through the letterbox, because XH was working abroad and not one person from his family either visited, or sent a card.
Worse still, all DS wanted for his birthday was "lots of lovely cards through the door" (Thanks Cbeebies! )

It's horrible, but I hope your DD had a lovely day

Do you think she might have just forgotten. That she might be dealing with things you don't know about at present, ie, miscarriage, sick relative, relationship with DH not so good? It's only a birthday card. I've forgotten my godchildren's on occasion and one of dd's godmothers always sends her a card on the right day but a month later - never thought it worth raising. In fact now the godchildren are older, they get bigger Xmas presents because actually life moves on and gets bigger as one gets more children, different schools, go back to work, etc.. I do know though that if the chips were down I could call on any of the godparents to ask for help/advice and it would be forthcoming - never fallen out you see - certainly not over a card.

It would have been nice to get a card OP, but it isn't the end of the world. Please move on with good grace.

Ella, it's always sad when Xp's families don't bother. Last year, DS only got one card from that side of the family. That was from his grandparents. Same for christmas... Probably why I get so angry that time of year...

It's a shame isn't it?
Their loss though, eh?
