to be upset that my oldest friend & 1 other forgot my DDs 1st birthday?

[oaktree]

Have known bf for 20years. whenI mentione din passing that Dd was now 1 in an email she just replied oh did I forget there are so many born then. teh other friedn who lives very close by just said oh is she 1 already.
i always remember thir kids birthdays & feel really hurt that they didn't remember mine. is there any point in saying anything? they both have far busier lives than mine.

you're all right of course - my DH often tells me I get far too sensitive about these thing (which is true). I suppose becasue I am one of those nauseating people that remembers everyones birthday, thier cats birthday & so on I expect everyone one else to be the same. Of course I would never be as petty as to forget their kids birthdays - its not their fault or to say anyhting to my kids. I suppose my friends forgetting, by default, makes me think they don't like/care about me.

way too much psychoananlysis for first thing in the morning I know. am off to chill in the rain & get a life!!!
