Relative forgot my baby’s 1st Birthday?

[PasstheStarmix]

Hi, my sibling forgot my baby’s first birthday. I’m disappointed in said sibling. Said sibling has no dc and plenty of free time to be organised. Has this happened to you or anybody you know? I just seem to have a really poor family.

I have to nag my sister for my daughters card! Really pisses me off as I don't ever forget her children's.... I would as I would want to make them sad. Yet if I did forget hers it would be the end of the world!

Thanks Chienrouge for your helpful comment. That’s it I don’t know whether to mention it or not to her. As you say probably not an point.

When was the birthday?

See! I am glad we changed your mind and made you re-evaluate your language/assumptions OP. Because it is certainly very different from how you started the thread

cindersrella That exactly the case of me and my sister. Once of her friends forgot hers and she went crazy. Like you I never forget hers or anybody’s. If I did maybe this wouldn’t disappoint me as much. I have all ds’s 1st cards for his memory box and it’s sad he won’t have one from my sister. Nevermind.

Gah81 I haven’t re-evaluated anything but just elaborated on things so you can better understand

You're being pathetic!

Oh honey, you're not fooling anyone.

It sounds like you don’t like your sister all that much, and come across as quite sneery and dismissive of her, and her life.

Maybe she feels the same and just isn’t all that interested in you and your life choices?

But parents in general are more organised I find because they have to be. I don't have a calendar because there's no need without DC - I just have my work organiser and a vague idea of when I'm seeing mates based on text conversations...

"When you’re busy and you have kids I can understand it abit more. My sister has no children and enough time to be organised and remembers everybody else’s. "

Aha - so your single sister couldn't possibly be as busy or have as many things on her mind as people with children?

Sure.

I can understand the upset.
Reminder in the phone a week before, job done.

Do you have dc gah? I am busier now with ds but I was still busy before having him too yet got a lot more sleep then. It really depends on personal situations. If you have somebody who has no dc and works long hours and commutes all over with lots of evening activities then they will have been busier than I was before dc. But in my personal situation I’m busier now. My sister often says herself she’s bored and may work an extra day. Anyhow this all being said I don’t want the reason for my thread being lost with this nitpicking.

Cindersrella - why on earth would you nag someone to send your child a card? That's silly, either the child is young enough not to know or old enough to understand the world doesn't revolve round them and, guess what, some people are a bit crap and it's no reflection on them.

I am child free and have two jobs and a busy social life. I certainly need a calendar to be organised.

aaarrrggghhhh yes in my sister’s personal situation she’s not as busy because she often says she’s bored!

ilovesooty You are a lot busier than my sister

"Do you have dc, gah?"

Oh, I see we haven't changed your mind :( otherwise this question would be irrelevant.

You're being ridiculous.

Tiredeypops I was just as organised before dc as I am now. I think it may be a character trait. I have friends with dc who are disorganised l

Gah you’re determined for a fight aren’t you

Why does it matter starmix - he's one, he is blissfully oblivious, and will be next year too.

Is it the piece of folded cardboard to put in a shoe box you're upset about not having?

What ever I say you’re jumping on

Evelynismycatsformerspyname I am disappointed and have kept all of the pieces of folder cardboard from the first year
