to hate my birthday?

[babygsmummy]

Every year I dread my bithday because noone makes a fuss,I mean no one,not my parents,not my sister,not my husband or my best friend...........I must be a horrid person.

each year I make birthdays special for my hubby,breakfast in bed make him a nice tea always buy him a present.Today he got up at 10.30 amgave me a card and a kiss.

Last year for my best friends birthday I arranged the whole thing family and friends some I didnt know,for a 35th birthday party for her,got her gifts from her children the works.

each year my mum and sister gets flowers before 10am,I make sure I ring before 11am and we always go over for tea.same for my dad but no flowers.

so it must be me,its 11.20am I have had a card in the post with £20 in it from my parents a card given to me by my husband..........god im so spoilt.

happy birthday me.......Im either going back to bed or shopping by myself and to make it worse,I just got a text to say sorry I cant make tonight......no happy birthday from my "best" friend.

You know Im not really this down about it but Im 19 weeks pregnant and abit hormonal,please just ignore.No need to reply just wanted to get it out.I dont want to have a stand up swearing arguement on my birthday,but feel on might be brewing.........

happy birthday!


now tell them what you think of them all! perfect timing really, you being pregnant and everything, they have to stand and take it!

Happy Birthday!

You really should tell them how you feel though, calmly and rationally. Your family and DH probably just don't realise even though they should. 'DH. It really upsets me that you don't make more of a fuss of me on my birthday. You know how I do XYZ for you on yours? Well I'd like you to do something similar.'

Aw! It's my birthday today too! It's a non event. Husband is at work and the snow falling heavily has meant that my friends can't come over. So, have a glass of wine and eat lots of cake

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Hope that your day got better. I never like a fuss being made of me on my birthday but I do walk round feeling special all day - and so should you!!

My husband did so little for my birthday always that I now plan my own entertainment/present/night out and dkn't include him. (marriage not great so slightly going off piste :o )

make a big effort for yourself and have the day YOU really want and not what someone would think you want.
Fwiw i have had a pedicure one year, colonic, boot camp week away, super posh hair cut, night out with girlfriend (and not dh). Treat yourself. What would l'oreal say?!

Happy belated Birthdays, Babygsmummy and Lazymonkey, hope your days were good in spite of the lack of attention.

Even though this will not be comfortable for you, perhaps, you need to tell people what YOU want in terms of birthday expectations, I think. Then there can be no mistake caused by people not being aware of what you want.

I don't celebrate my birthday but do other people's; it's very difficult as I wish they'd leave me alone and accept that I don't like fuss. I don't mind making fuss for others who like it though. It's very odd.

My OH has always been crap... I explained to him that this was the case, then gave him a taste of his own medicine. Worked marvellously.... Even got a decent Xmas present!! (By decent, I mean he had thought about it and got something I would like!) Makes a change from reduced dying flowers and discount chocolates!
