to wonder why not one of DS's aunties and uncles wished him happy 1st birthday yesterday?

[MammyINeedAWee]

I 'm not after presents or anything but a card wouldn't have killed them.

I know he was only 1 but I keep mementoes like cards and stuff, so I think it was pretty shitty!!!

Am I being unreasonable?

it sound awful but sometimes if you dont do anything to draw attention to his birthday like a tea party or something a lot of people dont remember.

I don't think the children really notice, but I think aunts and uncles ought to remember - my brother usually forgets, but tbh dd1 never notices or comments. He usually makes up for it later though when he next sees her.

We did have a tea party though, at 3pm, we left messages on their answerphones and they never got back to us

That does sound pretty hopeless

Do they have children themselves?

Did your mum not remind them (if she is around?). The only way my bro and sis remember these things is through her.

Aw, that's a shame. I would be annoyed in your position.

that's a real shame.

My dcs aunts and uncles remember eventually. Doesn't really bother me as I know they are all busy and have 'stuff going on'.

The dcs don't notice either

Did you mention it to them recently?

it hurts does'nt it?
Try not to let it worry you. At least you were there to celebrate it

I am always late with birthday pressies. I am a crap aunty, but I love them all really.

Thanks girls - - I know, in the big scheme of things it doesn't matter really!!

But yeah, they all have older kids so they know.
We don't have a great relationship with DH's family (but don't get me started on that LOL) at least his parents turned up to the party even if MIL did hide!!
