It’s 16:03 on my birthday and my mum hasn’t called.....

[cwtchesandprosecco]

AIBU to really hurt/ pissed off?

Since she had quite a major stroke 3 years ago she’s been really distant and doesn’t have much time for me, whenever I call her she can’t get off the phone fast enough, but I thought she’d have at least called me today.

OP see - i posted and still forgot to say happy birthday! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Make sure you treat yourself before the day is iver if you havent already, pop to the shop for some choc, order a takeaway in, anything you enjoy and dont get to do enough make sure you do it!

Im going to have a gulp of my wine for you

Give your mum a call OP, otherwise it will fester. You won't feel any better about it tomorrow, if you haven't spoken to her. And happy birthday. Have a lovely evening.

prosecco
Call her.
NOW
Tell her all about the things you have done today - the fun ones
and the people who wished you a good day
and the cards you got

not to make her feel bad
but to prove to both of you that you are now the adult

and next year, call her at 8am to tell her about your Birthday breakfast
