This is a huge rant. I don't care if you lot think we are unreasonable or not , they just p*55 us off, and I need a rant!!
ok, so we are old (mid thirties), but yet AGAIN not a phone call / card from ANY of dh's family on his birthday. even my family rang him up (at work!), sent little presents, send cards.
And this happens every year, although the rest of his siblings always get a call / card. Even presents, though we don't expect that. That would be RIDICULOUS!!!! (honestly, we know it is just a birthday, we just feel neglected)
Oh yeah, and we have a 6 month old baby. His mum has visited ONCE - my dad lives in the same town and visits every weekend... and works full time still..
Anyway, to get to the point... his birthday was yesterday. And he just got a call off his sister. She wanted to know how to sell on ebay. No asking how ds was. Or any 'happy birthday'. Then his mum chipped in, in the background, "I didnt send you a card, because you were supposed to come down Sunday." Not even asking to talk on the phone, or asking how ds is. It was our fault, apparently (we did mention, in passing, that we might be round, but nothing was confirmed)
Just to put it in context, we didn't visit at Christmas last year because I was 9 months pregnant. But that was ok cos Christmas was cancelled as dh's mum was skint anyway. Dh popped in anyway on Christmas day (he had to see his dad who lives nearby, long story). There was a massive party. Yet, no Christmas card for us.
Look, I KNOW these are just days in the year. But dh feels like s*1t because EVERY year his family forget him
Rant over (for now)
