its my birthday and the b*****d forgot

[SHIREENSMOM]

i cant belive he forgot ive been reminding him for the past month not even a card he said oh i dont celebrate birthdays (hes muslim) but i forgot his birthday once just once and he went mad, he has forgotten every year what a twat i hate men oh last year we went shopping (food shopping) and he put my birthday card in the trolley and made me pay for it) he never rembers not in 5 years arse*e sorry had to get that of my chestxxxxxnikkixxxx

thank you all your all so kind, i did i went shopping and spent loads on dd which i love doing and also some on myself then me and dd went out for lunch theres nothing else i would rather do on my birthday than spoil my angel she loved it, oh he came home with choclates and a card obviously from the petrol station on the way home but i suppose its better than nothing but its not the same when they do it out of quilt is itoh well another year older and a lot more wiser see ya all xxxnikkixxxxxxx (the card had £100 in it so thats something i suppose) MORE SHOPPING !!!!!

It's my birthday in just over a week's time and dh has not mentioned it at all. Normally he would be asking if I'd like to go anywhere or reminding me to arrange a babysitter. But this time, nothing has been mentioned and I'm damned if I'm going to remind him! I never forget his birthday and even remind him about his parents' birthdays. So I shall go on saying nothing and God help him if he forgets!

My dp is not great around birthdays, but even he has never tried to blame his Muslim father for this failing. And I'm sure at least one of his brothers is still a Muslim, and he's actually one of the better ones at remembering birthdays.

Happy belated birthday Shireensmom. Your post about spending the day buying treats for your dd made me smile - that's all we mums do these days, never mind splurging on ourselves. Better spend that money on YOU!

Happy belated birthday.
Enjoy spending the £100

this speaks volumes about him, he just makes things up as he goes along. dump him & have a lovely birthday, you're worth so much more

Happy belated birthday from me too! enjoy spending the £100!

It is such a shame that he not only forgot but then went on the blame his muslim background rather than just say, 'I'm really sorry I forgot and I promise to make it up to you' - sometimes it is just nice to get an apology and a promise that it won't happen again rather than blaming someone/something else!

Happy Belated Birthday, S'smum!

Honestly! What is he like. Think it's more to do with being a man, and inconsiderate, than being a Muslim. Half my DP' family are Muslim, full-on observant Muslims at that, and we're forever at their birthday gatherings when we visit their country.

When it's HIS birthday, buy him a diary, with your birthday clearly marked.

Love the diary idea! I agree that he was out of order forgetting your birthday. You make sure that £100 is spent on YOU. And when it does come round to his birthday, remind him of what he said about being Muslim and ask if he wouldn't mind then if you didn't celebrate HIS birthday.

I have to let my man off the hook, he mentioned my birthday last night. He didn't suggest we do anything mind, he just mentioned it. I suppose he thinks that with a new baby I'm too tired to want to go anywhere - yeah right!
