it's my birthday

[JHKLHZHARH]

My mum, dad and 4 siblings haven't phoned, text or sent a card.

AIBU to want to hear from them on my birthday?

I'm actually really upset, my mother in law was here at 7am with birthday wishes and presents. So why can't MY mum ring or text me?

Happy Birthday!

Have they ever missed your birthday before?

Ah that's harsh. YADNBU. They are BU. Hope you're ok. Here's some to wish you happy birthday. And !

Happy Birthday .

thank you.

My brothers sometimes do but they are men lol.

Happy birthday

Happy birthday dude, sorry to hear it's been shit. Is there a back story here? Are relations generally good with your family?

That's rubbish. My dh has the same and it's really sad to watch how hurt he is every year when my parents make the effort and his do so little. His mum does put up fb messages about loving her sons... But fails to ever phone him.
Happy birthday op

Of course YANBU.

Sorry your family haven't been in touch.

It was my birthday yesterday, and although my mum & dad phoned, my brother didn't acknowledge it in any way. It hurts a bit that he doesn't bother, but that's just how he is - I know he loves me, he's just forgetful.

Happy birthday to you!

YANBU

Happy birthday!

Not much of a back story we all get on reasonably well, my parents are divorced and remarried. My sisters aren't married and have 1 kid each. My brothers one is married with 2 kids the other is single and has no children. It was my mums birthday last week and I spent a fortune on her.

Happy birthday!
If you were in a sitcom, they'd be pretending they had forgotten because they were planning a surprise party...start practicing your face

poor you, happy bday!

i would have to say something if I were you... just a message to say you're a bit sad that no-one has said happy birthday and a sad face! that's got to get them feeling a bit guilty!!

Yanbu. Sorry to hear that.

Happy birthday!

thecowthatlaughs so true. I wouldn't be surprised if they say something asking those lines lol.

I've sent them all a text saying how unhappy I am, my married brother has already replied and said I should have reminded him. Lol.

That's shitty of them.

Happy birthday though

Awww, Happy Birthday. I'm glad you have such a nice MIL, but to not hear from your family must hurt. You should tell them how hurt you feel.

Aww, Happy Birthday, OP. Hope you eventually had a great day!!

Oh, you're my birthday twin

Happy birthday to you

I'm sorry your family didn't make any effort, it does suck, my mother did drop a card round last week (she was coming anyway) but didn't do anymore than that. Luckily, my wonderful DH and DCs more than make up for my family's rubbisness. I hope you had a good day, in spite of your family.

I hope your dm has called now. Happy birthday!

Leoandboosmum my MIL is fantastic, she doesn't love far from us and is always willing to help in any way she can unlike my mum
boyiesback happy birthday to you too my DH and 2dd's made my day dd1 made me a card and made breakfast with help from mill (not dh as he even burns toast) and dd2 (she is 4 months old) crawled for the first time so that made my day.
scone still nothing from her but it's still early and she doesn't work so she will still be in bed.

I've sort of stopped really caring about my birthday these days. I just think the older you get, the less people care.

Happy Birthday

I would try to not let it soil the day. My dad is much the same but I don't let it get me down. I just focus on all the people who are making a fuss of me. It's easier said than done but try and have a lovely birthday anyway.

Spoil not soil sorry

Happy birthday!

My parents forget every year. DP reminded Ddad last year (we visited on the day to collect a piece of furniture) and he looked very surprised and asked if it was my birthday soon! I've given up expecting to hear from them on the day now.

I figure it's been the same day for coming up 40 years next month and they still call early, late or not at all. Clearly they are slow learners.

We have an otherwise good relationship and have dinner as a full family at least fortnightly so I just have to accept their vagueness.
