My birthday was last week, we were away on holiday. DH (who is normally very good) forgot my cards from him and the dcs, so apologetically told me I had to wait till we were home. Ok. My present was (and still is) in the post. Ok. I couldn't pick the outing we went on that day as it was the only day the weather would be nice enough to do the activity we had planned. All fair enough. So we got back yesterday day time. No mention of anything from him, until he gets in from work this evening and notices the one card I have on the shelf, that I received in the post today from an old friend. So he rushes to write my cards. Then my dad arrives...with no cards from him, or my mum. I have two other family members who would normally send a card and/or give a present...nothing. Nothing from any friends. Nothing from my in laws.
I'm not fussed about presents and I know I was away on my birthday, but I just feel unappreciated.
