Obviously as its now almost 8oclock at night and not one person in my household has wished me Happy Birthday. Seems another thing covid can be blamed for i guess.

Happy birthday!

Sorry I forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday 💐

Happy birthday OP!

Happy birthday from your birthday twin

Happy birthday mammato5 make sure you treat yourself to something really lovely 😊. 🤗

@mammato5

Thankyou all for the Birthday wishes. Laguna and Leannb guess that was a failed attempt at humour i guess.

It was a good one, you managed to write a pissed-off post without sending needy or unreasonable.

Happy Birthday!!!

Do tell your household NOW, they have all day Friday to put together something decent for the weekend. It's fine to celebrate your birthday at the nearest weekend, not great, but fine.

Don't let that go without saying anything! Birthdays are a big thing. And there's cake. Hopefully they are just late.

Happy birthday!! 🎉

Happy birthday @mammato5, hope you can treat yourself with something nice soon. I feel your pain I have a mother who always forgets my birthday (she’s just dippy, but it hurts)

Happy Birthday hotcrosswhat.🥳 we dont really go out for meals or make plans for bdays. Just normally a little gift and a card. Hes had a lot on lately and some pretty major stuff to deal with so im not super mad any longer.

Do you not think he'd be more gutted to know you sat all day thinking about it? If neither of you discussed a plan for in beforehand and he is usually a good guy towards you then just bloody tell him instead of waiting for him to realise the next time he pays attention to the date and come grovelling to you.

Happy birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

as hurtful as it must be, it does sound like it's out of character for your other half...wonder how long until he remembers?!

Zezette, guess i cant get mad at mumsnetters if i havent blown up at home over today right. Just suppose my humour isnt for eveyone🙂 Feeling very philosophical right now. Yes i didnt get a happy birthday at home but ive had loads tonight on mumsnet x

Whereever im still gonna make him grovel. Lol. He is a good guy really im just gonna have fun milking it 😂

Thankyou MrsFrTed. I know what you mean regarding dippy mums. Take care x

My dh comes from a family where they hardly celebrated birthdays, Christmas, etc. They weren't unkind or uncaring, it's just that it wasn't a big deal to them. So, after dh forgot my birthday one year and I was really upset, I always mention when my birthday is coming up and suggest things I'd like to do or a present I'd like. I don't think you can change people, but you can be honest about what birthdays mean to you and how you would like to celebrate - not in a manipulative way, just be straightforward.

Happy birthday btw

He's a good guy that after 17 years forgets your birthday but bless him he has had a lot on his plate lately

Happy birthday OP 🎉 🎂 🥳

Happy Birthday

You're being very stoical about it, but I do genuinely think that it's really shitty. Really quite awful.

Life is about making memories op. My oh works away so it’s normally just me and my dc’s. If it were me I’d have got out the crafts to make homemade birthday cards/pictures with the kids. I’d have spent the day playing games/watching films, baked a simple birthday cake and then had a nice dinner or a takeaway.
Are you sure you’re not being slightly passive aggressive here making a point of not even mentioning your birthday? What would you rather remember looking back?

Do you have social media or FB Op, just wondering if your DH will suddenly twig when he sees the birthday messages on there and feel awful

Thankyou for all the birthday wishes and for those (ahem Kettledodger) who feel the need to rub my nose in the shit further by being puzzled regarding my responses about my husband. Its ok dont worry i know its a shit thing hes done, i wont let him forget it but im trying to make good out of a shit situation.

No social media. Not being passive aggressive i know things have been tough which is why im forgiving of the fact hes forgotten and not brought it up as i know he'd be bothered he's forgot. When he does realise I'll let him know im upset by it then we can move on. Im not one to keep going on and on about it. Life is too short

@mammato5, yes, you must live it up this weekend, full on, all about you, fun and happy, me, me, me weekend living it up!

I'm sorry that your otherwise very good DH has been a forgetful twat today, do make him grovel and happy birthday for the weekend when you'll properly celebrate.

How have you lasted until 8pm not saying anything?!
