Would you be pissed Off at no acknowledgment of your daughters birthday?

Hi all

DD turned 9 on 25/6. I have 2
sisters - her aunts. One could not send a card but arranged a toy voucher sent by email.

Other sister has not acknowledged her birthday at all -no text, no phone call, no card. She went on holiday the day before but it was in Uk so could have text. We work together. So I have contact at work.

I think it's sad not to bother. It's nice for kids to feel that they have people who care about them who are not immediate family.

My brother had only started to acknowledge my kids’ birthdays recently and they’re now 14 and 11 now. I had to explain it to him pretty explicitly. His view is, ‘Well I don’t celebrate my birthday, so I can’t understand other people who want to’.

Tbf now that he has started arranging gifts, he’s actually very generous. So what I’m saying is hopefully it will change in time Op,

This for my DC too. Siblings send birthday child a card and give them a gift too. Birthday child chooses either a takeaway or meal out where they choose for our family.
