To just fuck off and not come back? [Edited by MNHQ]

Ok, not for good, but for several hours? And maybe eat a cake in my car by myself Grin

'D'H has forgotten it's my Birthday. Which tbh is very unusual. But this is my first Birthday as a Mum so not only has he forgotten but because of this and his always buying last minute, he's forgotten to get me a card (I just wanted a first card to 'Mummy' - we tried for our Son for over a decade), he forgot to get the theatre tickets he promised for months (I haven't had a birthday present - or Christmas - in years because we always have other stuff to get but this year we had enough) and he forgot he would cook so we ended up with a shitty meal out the freezer :'(

None of my friends remembered either. Happy Birthday to me Sad

If an Admin could fix my title to 'and' that would also be a great present 👍

I hope he was suitably apologetic and has plans to make it up to you?

thelastredwinegum · 03/01/2018 22:53

Aww :( happy birthday Cake

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 03/01/2018 22:54

Oh that is rubbish. Happy birthday to you Trinity! Very poor show on your H’s part - is he the type to realise and make it up to you?

AlChris · 03/01/2018 22:54

Happy birthday.

NeilPetark · 03/01/2018 22:55

That’s shit. What is he going to do to make it up to you?

Catzpyjamas · 03/01/2018 22:55

No unreasonable at all. That's utterly thoughtless of him. Sad

KarmaStar · 03/01/2018 22:56

Happy Birthday !🎉🎇🎆💜🌼🌻😊

Carbohol78 · 03/01/2018 22:56

Awwww, that sucks, I am cross for you and sending you bumps and cakes and gin and a fricking pet unicorn

Go and wake your beautiful baby in the middle of the night, reward yourself with sleepy cuddles and stolen moments, then when you want to go to sleep, wake him to take over and get them back to sleep whilst you have an uninterrupted night and a huge lie-in

Agerbilatemycardigan · 03/01/2018 22:56

Happy Birthday!! Flowers

This happened with me for the last couple of years. Eat lots of cake and have a toast to yourself!

AnathemaPulsifer · 03/01/2018 22:57

Happy Birthday! It sucks being forgotten. Thankfully my children spoil me now.

Neolara · 03/01/2018 22:57

Happy birthday.. I hope tomorrow you DH spends the day making things up to you,

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 03/01/2018 22:58

That's really shit. Happy birthday Cake Wine YWB at all U to got out & eat real cake for a couple of hours & possibly have a nap.

Weezol · 03/01/2018 22:58
Shock Forgetting one of those things OK but all of them? All of them?

I'd fuck off in his car, eat whatever with no care for crumb distribution, odd bits of KFC popcorn chicken being wedged in interesting places and I'd leave a thin film of bbq dip on the steering wheel. It should become nicely tacky overnight Grin.

Has he got any idea how upset/angry you are?

Itsacakebaby · 03/01/2018 23:00

Happy Birthday 🍰🎁🎊🍾. He definitely needs to make it up to you.

twobambinos · 03/01/2018 23:05

Happy birthday to you. I don't know if I would be able to contain my emotions. Eat all the cake you like and treat yourself to something nice. Cake

TrinitySquirrel · 03/01/2018 23:07

He went whiter than white when he realised. He knows he's done wrong. I think he just thought he was a day behind.

I'm not fuming, or about to throttle anyone or anything. I just feel really disappointed Sad. I thought he would have made the extra effort this year as I had the years from hell in 2016/17.

Maybe next year 😢

Well, he can still do a lot to make up for missing it this year! Tell him what you’d like.

thenettyprofessor · 03/01/2018 23:20

Happy birthday, you are a Mummy and wow that little baby would wish you the happiest birthday ever. Do not rely on others to make you happy you no longer need it, you have the perfect happiness in that little bundle. Up to you to do what you think is right with the rest of your life. Smile honey you are doing great x
