Sounds like as good excuse as any to start forgetting your adult relatives' birthdays, too. Part of being a grown-up is not expecting other adults to fuss over your birthday.

That said, I still hope you had a Happy Birthday. Just keep in mind, your birthday is about you, not them.

Is it a 'big' birthday prehaps they have planned a suprise party or something for the w/e?

Happy Birthday!!! Dont feel so bad, my family have not sent me or my two dc a card for years in fact about ten I got used to it

Hope you have a fantastic day

xx

Sorry to hear this, family's can be so crap. I am used to this sort of thing. Luckily, DD's birthday is 5 days before mine, so I sort of celebrate with her, knowing I will be forgotten. How about from now on, forget about expecting anything and save up to treat yourself instead, a haircut, beauty treatment etc., at least you will have that birthday feel good thing.

Ahh that is poo

sod them!!

i hope you had a lovely birthday despite them

i agree, save up and treat yourself to a fab pamper day or suchlike

xx ei xx

thanks guys

You poor thing, that is really sad. I bet they will be mortified when they realise.

Happy Birthday for yesterday

Of course YANBU!!

That is terrible, especially from your Mum, of all people your birthday should be important to her (birth child or not!!), what crappy behaviour from your family!

I really hope you have a DH/DP/SO who made you feel special & that you still had a nice day...

I think I'd be very tempted to 'forget' all other family birthdays until one of them 'notices' and apologises!!
