HazelEyesSparkle View Profile History	My family forgot my birthday, again.. Posted : 10 Aug, 2023 11:00 PM Hello everyone, I need some advice here. I just had a birthday a day ago and I woke up and had absolutely barely any of my family say happy birthday. My mom was in the hospital so I had to pick her up later that day and the entire day my brothers left and they were talking about their food and gym and left me at home. I had to buy my own lunch and came home to nothing again. My family started watching tv and ignoring me doing their own thing. I was seething so I left the house for hours and did not even open my cards and gifts. Today was my mom's birthday and I went all out, as I always do, to put a tablecloth and special plates. My brother gave her roses and they had a really nice cake while they gave me a cheap store bought stale cake. My mom definitely should have nice things but I got totally slighted. There was absolutely nothing remembered or special on my day. Even last year, I treated everyone to a movie and no one again took me out to eat. I had to buy my own dinner. I am still so angry. I explained myself but no one seems to care. What should I do? Post Reply

HazelEyesSparkle View Profile History	My family forgot my birthday, again.. Posted : 12 Aug, 2023 05:45 PM Every single person in my family gets a day planned. Like dinner etc. For some reason they slighted mine almost didn't even get a cake and had two unwrapped gifts. No atmosphere etc. Post Reply
austin93a^ View Profile History	My family forgot my birthday, again.. Posted : 12 Aug, 2023 07:04 PM typical american women and their entitlement. 🙄they didn't have to give or do anything for you. furthermore as a christian you shouldn't be so material and expecting of gifts. Post Reply
RetroMillennial^ View Profile History	My family forgot my birthday, again.. Posted : 13 Aug, 2023 04:53 PM Uh, hold the phone a second. Before we jump to conclusions like “entitlement” and so forth, I think I would like to understand the situation here a little better. Hazel*, can you give a little more detail about your family dynamics? Did your family seem to forget your birthday when you were younger too? I just want to make sure I understand what’s going on. The reason I’m confused is because I’m as close to my family as any 30-something could ever hope to be but I haven’t really gotten any more for my birthdays than what you’ve described since entering adulthood. When you’re young, sure, there’s cake and gifts, a party, maybe a theme, relatives, and so-on. It’s a lot easier to buy gifts for a 10-year-old than it is a 30-year old. By our age most of “hub-bub” over birthdays is over. The attention usually shifts to the next generation of kids. Are you sure it’s not something like this that you’re experiencing? Post Reply
