I am not specially big on birthdays. I. Always thankful for gifts but not expecting anything. But the bare minimum I expect is my mother aknowledge my birthday. Even a text would be enough.
She sent me an email with todays date in it. She still didn't mention my birthday. We don"t live in the same country so she isn't planning to surprise me later.
I am going through a bit of a hard time and I feel quite low right now.
But maybe I'm just expecting too much and adults don't need to fuss about their birthdays?
