Name Changed though this in itself might out me .

It's my Birthday yay me & as per usual my Dh , My mum & all siblings just don't bother to even get me a card never mind a present the most ill get is a 'Happy Birthday' on Facebook & that's it & its the same every year , even as a child .
It's not that I want presents its the principal of it .
I'd love to have a night out with friends to celebrate or even have a few friends round but I can't so ill just spend yet another day wishing it would all go away .
I even asked if I could go to my mums tomorrow in hope that any one if them had got me a card but they are all to busy to see me .
The worse part is having to answer my Ds's (4) questions as to why I have no presents it cards .
I feel completely unreasonable for feeling this way & maybe I should just grow up .
AIBU or do I really deserve better

My dh's birthday is 2 days after Xmas but I always make sure I have got cards for him from me and the dc's well in advance. I also make sure that he has presents to open too. He had some crappy birthdays as a child so I like to think we make them a bit better as an adult.

I don't think your DH has any excuse. Your birthday is on the same day every year, so when he did have time off, he could have bought something a month, 2 months in advance, it just takes a little planning.

Him saying he won't use the internet is, IMO, him saying he doesn't really care enough to bother, even if he can't get time off.
