Do you remind family to see your kids on their birthday?

Its my kids birthday coming up and my husbands family are busy with pre arranged stuff. His brother and sisters haven't reached out to ask when they can come see the kids. Is it up to me to arrange, should I bother reaching out at all? Surely it's their responsibility to keep up the relationship. It' just sad I think!

😂 Classic Mumsnet. Enjoy your wine.

Oh God, are you still going on and on and on about absolutely nothing for no reason?

You poor thing. Sending hugs.

And on and on and on and on and on you go.

You poor, poor soul. Sending hugs. There are helplines you know, you could try the Samaritans.

😂 I honestly don’t know whether you’re real and actually taking a Mumsnet thread so seriously, or if you’re taking the piss.
