You sound intense. And keeping your 3 year old up is ridiculous.

saraclara · 29/08/2024 06:28

We're enthusiastic about birthdays in my family, but never once has it occurred to me to celebrate it at midnight or just after. It's my birthday when I wake up on birthday morning. Not at 12:01 when I haven't gone to bed.

Why is your three year old up, anyway?

saraclara · 29/08/2024 06:31

@Katskat no-one needs compassion because their husband hasn't wished them happy birthday at 12:02. Compassion is for people with awful problems.

Only on MN.

Mumsnet isn't what it used to be. So many pointless wind up posts.

What time was your actual birth? Maybe he’s waiting for that.

My child was born at 23.20 so I only start celebrating at that time. Sucked a bit for them as a child, but it’s important to be technically accurate. We crammed a lot into those 40 minutes, it’s a shame none of their friends could ever make the party though. Thought it was quite selfish, especially as I would wait up all the hours of the day/night just so I could text them happy birthday on the minute they were born.

😂 I like this approach though feels a bit late to implement it now. As one was born at 6am and the other at 9pm.

Everyone's birthday is just as important to me, especially my close ones. So yeah 12am I always message my sisters/mum friends and close ones.
End of.

My 3 year old is adjusting to the new timings.

And is doing that about them and what they want or about you? The last thing I'd want on my birthday was to be woken at 12am by a birthday text. This would be an incredibly thoughtless thing to do to a lot of people.

FrenchandSaunders · 29/08/2024 07:49

It’s not New Years Eve!

Sparklytoe · 29/08/2024 07:50

So it's your birthday "tomorrow" even though technically the clock has ticked over into the next day? I probably wouldn't think about it until the morning either. To be upset that he hasn't thought of it within a few minutes, whilst absorbed in a film is bonkers.

Idontknow110 · 29/08/2024 08:11

@KatskatHappy birthday 🎂
Hope you have the best day, celebrating with your loved ones❤

Did you have a big 18th party? Staged proposal? A huge engagement party? A hen night abroad? Were you a bridezilla? Gender bollox? Birth announcement? Christening party?
You sound like a spoilt brat. There are women being stoned to death or being made to marry their rapists and you are upset as its just past midnight and people have forgotten to made a fuss over you. I bet you are a nightmare to work with. Nobody I know makes a fuss about their birthday unless they are under 10. You need to get a grip and grow up. Maybe watch the Paralympics and see how some people deal with true adversity.

Idontknow110 · 29/08/2024 08:14

Thank you to everyone who wished me, appreciate it. You didn't have to but you did x

@bluedomino
I appreciate what your saying, of course I think about these people however the post wasn't about them. I am not talking about adversity etc.. looks like you woke up on the wrong side!
And if you don't like my post please don't read it or advise! Simple.

This has made my day (already! And it’s not even time for the day-making! 😜)

bluedomino · 29/08/2024 08:44

@Idontknow110 no, I think you need a wake up call and to stop acting like a princess. You are a grown woman with a child, getting upset because it's a few minutes past midnight on the anniversary of your birth. Ridiculous. I feel sorry for your husband. I'm sure you will have put your DOB on Facebook so take comfort you will get messages later, once they are reminded by their computer. You sound self absorbed and tiresome.

Yes, I thought this was normal? My first DD was 2.30pm so she has to wait longer than 1.50am DD but they both accept the BIrthday Logic

@bluedomino
I am a Princess! Every woman deserves to be treated like a princess.. ESPECIALLY ON THEIR BIRTHDAY!
AND NO IM NOT THAT FACEBOOK TYPE PERSON!
All that matters to me is my small family.
So please go away you sad sad person. You have no idea of anyone's story, and certainly have no right to judge their character or personality.

So goodbye! Dont forget to go onto someone else's thread and work out how you can make their day shit! A great full time job for you!

Pretty nasty comment to what was a fairly reasonable comment (which several other posters have likewise said).

Getting upset at 12:02AM because your husband has not yet wished you happy birthday is a bit ridiculous and snapping at people who point that out is even more so.

No one ‘deserves’ to be treated like anything. If you want your DP to say happy birthday to you, ask him. Act for yourself. Don’t sit passively on the sidelines working yourself up into a tizzy and stropping on mumsnet.

bluedomino · 29/08/2024 09:48

@Idontknow110 why start a thread if you didn't want some honest opinions. Yes, I'm not surprised you are a princess. Which is fine when you are younger but as a grown women, it's utterly self absorbed and tedious. Something people in your real life would probably love to tell you but can't say because of the drama. So, either tell your poor long suffering husband you are annoyed it's not extra about you or be an adult and not expect him to jump through hoops you haven't told him about. Here's the truth, literally nobody apart from you cares it's your birthday. So, buck up buttercup.

Princess 😂😂😂😂

Dolliesdisasterousdayout · 29/08/2024 09:55

@Idontknow110 happy birthday to you!
I don’t celebrate my birthday but get over excited about other people’s birthdays. Hope you have a great day.
