I would be really cross about this too

JonesTheSteam · 21/12/2006 14:22

No, I'd be upset as well.

i'd be fuming!

I think that is very mean of them. You have every reason to be cross.

My DH had to tell his brother and sister it was my birthday this year. We have been together 7 years. It didnt make any difference to his sister. I got a nice card from his brother though.

Can you ask your mum why she didnt call and perhaps your sister needs one of those birthday calenders. Is it too late for a xmas pressie idea.

my sisters usually really organised but when i told her she wasnt very bothered.i think my mum should phone to say happy birthday before i phone her,is that childish?

tbh I wouldn't be bothered by this. If they forgot his 3rd or 4th birthday I'd be fuming, but he's 1: he won't understand anyway.

actually I think I forgot ds's first birthday.

That would make me very sad.

i think that being his first birthday is bad enough !!i know he doesnt know but i think its really important.luckily my dd and ds1 havent asked why nanny and auntie disnt visit or phone ds..maybe they think they did while they were at school.

I would be upset.Just because he doesn't know doesn't mean it's not important. I'm suprised your mum hasn't realised yet if your other sisters knew and then the sis who forgot realised.

some people aren't very good at remembering birthdays or don't place much importance on them - I wouldn't take it to heart
