Do your parents acknowledge your wedding anniversary?

I ask this as it was our wedding anniversary yesterday (12 years) and my parents did not send a card or phone to say hi Happy Anniversary. They've always been emotionally distant like this (they show little to no interest in their grandchild) so I was not expecting any acknowledgement at all.

Anyone else had similar and if so how do you deal with it?.

I find it really strange for parents or friends to send anniversary cards on what is your anniversary, and no-one else's. Can you actually buy cards that are appropriate?
I'm amazed.

I have two lifelong girlfriends (known them for ever) and I haven't got a clue when their w/anniversary is... don't wanna know. Its between you and your husband.

Yes, get a card from mum and mil every year.

I always ring mum on her WA too. I know she appreciates the fact that I still remember it even though we lost dad years ago. It is still an important day for her and it is nice for her to share it with someone.
