Why is ive always got to practically beg my family for help when need it. And my birthday thursday ok so a few days yet but my mum, 3 sisters or brother havent been in touch. I rang and asked my sisters if they fancied night out qa group of us last night all said no 1 of my sisters said oh shit i forgot was your birthday. Last year my mum forgot and only got a present or card off 1 sister... Dont understand how hard it is to remember your daughters bday no matter how old you are.

If MIL and my SIL can remember off their own backs why cant they? GRRRR...

I try not to slag them off too much but last 2 nights my inlaws have had all 4 kids so friday i could go for a meal with OH and then last night for my birthday night out, FIL made a little dih why do we always end up with the kids? Well for 1 his wife always offers we very rarely have to ask we have a bit of a routine going with her, was a little peed off. They would love to go see other grandma more often but theres always some excuse why we cant go, she comes to ours about once a fortnight and shes had them for something importand like when ive had hospital etc but its got to the point where i wont even ask for anything now is this normal?

It's a bugger but some people are too self-absorbed to think of others. Either you tell them directly that you're disappointed or you squirrel the information away and remind yourself not to do them any favours in due course.
