Everyone forgot my birthday

[HCantThinkOfAUsername]

My whole family, my best friends, and most of my work colleagues.
I know it's just a birthday. I make such a fuss on everyone when it's their birthday. All I wanted was a card/text/Facebook message.

Meh.
I'm extra grumpy because I've spent all day in bed unwell so been constantly checking my phone which hasn't helped.

Agreed..every time it's someone's birthday, buy yourself a present. Don't forget to text them with a piccy so they know what you got.

Happy birthday, OP. Tom Hardy is in the post!

(And yes, they're arses!)

Happy Birthday to you 🍷🎁🎉
It's my birthday too today, it's such a rubbish time of year, I'm often forgotten.
Try to spoil yourself if you can.

I agree with Awwlookatmybabyspider . For everyone's birthday, get them exactly what they got for you.

OK, some cards, etc might be delayed, but if the couldn't even send a Happy Birthday text then don't get them anything. Save your money.

Did your DP get the card on the DCs behalf, or was it made by them?

If he got it for them, that's comething, I guess, but nothing from him is seriously shit. Even a card would have let you feel some appreciation.

I left someone after a long time together, and when we were together he forgot (or rather couldn't be bothered) a number of birthdays, when he knew I celebrated them. I found this to be consistent with the lack of appreciation generally.

Happy birthday! Sending a virtual bottle of plonk your way. Rubbish that they all bloody forgot.

Your dh got you nothing. That's majorly arse holey and cuntish. He could have at least gone to the poundshop. You weren't expecting the Crown jewels.
Just as well really with that tight wad. You'd have been very lucky if you got a happy birthday off him.

Happy birthday 🍰! Hope you feel better soon

Ah so much birthday love and virtual gifts I've had to extend my birthday by another day.
Thank you all, can always rely on mumsnet to cheer me up :)
Still stuck in bed but I've ordered a fancy hot water bottle off amazon for myself, just because I can :D

Happy birthday. When you feel well enough - go out and celebrate.

Happy birthday, OP. Tom Hardy is in the post!

He wouldn't cost much to send, he's awful wee DH Googled his height because he knows a like a tall man

Happy Birthday xxx

Birthdays are a big thing for me so i would be really annoyed and I would 'forget' their birthdays in return.

When your feeling better take a day off and treat yourself for your Birthday

You poor thing, I would be feeling extremely grumpy too if that happened to me!

One year my Dad forgot my birthday. I didn't say anything to him, didn't think it was worth upsetting him. A couple of months later my brother forgot my Dad's birthday. My Dad phoned me to rant about how ungrateful and thoughtless my brother is. Guess what I told him!!

Happy birthday for yesterday H!!! :)

Happy birthday H! Here's some Hotel Chocolat batons (white chocolate, because you need the sugar!) from me!

Just seen this, so I'm a day late, but Happy Birthday to You!

I'd sing, only that wouldn't be very nice of me, so I'll hum and send you many happinesses (and get well soon!) thoughts.

I think this is terrible. I would expect my parents to remember and my dh. I'm more horrified though, that he remembered and just cba to do anything about it.
Why are so many women tolerating such total lack of care from men?
I hope that this makes you reassess the level of commitment you put into the relationship and the things that are important to him. You really do deserve more and at the very least you should express to your dp just how upset and hurt you are amd if he doesn't bust a gut trying to put it right then you know where you stand and you should plsn accordingly.

Just post a thanks for the birthday gift on Facebook to someone who isn't real, and watch everyone jump in and say they forgot..

Apologies, I missed this yesterday and I was going to send you belated birthday wishes but you've solved that by extending it one more day! Happy Birthday!
Hoping you feel better today (both health and birthday-wise)
