To be a bit miffed that my sons uncle didn't get him a present?

It was my sons birthday on Monday, we had a party for him on Saturday which BIL and his son came along to. They didn't bring a present - fair enough we thought as we'll probably see them on his actual birthday. We've still not heard anything from them apart from a Facebook comment from SIL.

Is it grabby to be a bit pissed off by this? I suppose there's nothing to say they have to get him a present or card. He is known to be a bit thoughtless about other people. I don't want to ask them about it in case they have purposefully decided not to get him anything cos you can't really argue with that, it's their choice etc.

As he actually came to the party, I'd lay odds on some miscommunication at their end - cue SIL opening a cupboard next weekend and discovering the present and card that your brother was 'supposed to have taken' and that your brother thought had already been sent. Hang fire on this.
