To send a birthday text at 6pm

[Trufflebutter24]

It’s my cousins little boys birthday today. I see my cousin as an older sister and love her and her son and see them often.
Today was her sons 2nd birthday and I had planned to ring this morning but we were late on the school run and I didn’t get a chance.
I had the most intense day at work, and I could have text her during the day but I wanted to call and so I waited till I got home and text the minute I got in.

My kids got home at 7, I rang as soon as they got in but expected it would be too late, so sent a video of us singing.

The only response I got was “too late?”. To which I apologised.

I know feel absolutely terrible, I didn’t forget the day but now maybe she thinks I did? I’m sitting beating myself up now.

Am I out of order?

Birthday cards and wishes are to hope the person has a nice DAY. Sending something in the evening, especially after his likely bedtime, is a bit shit.

I think the mum is rude. That reply would upset me. Whatever time you sent the video with you all singing, I bet he loved it when he saw it. He won’t have a clue what day it is, and he is the main person you need to please.
