My birthday and dh did not remember

[ttistin]

Yesterday was my birthday, I wrote it on the calender. It is 5 days after ds's birthday. Hard to forget. Dh did not remember until his parents said something to him on the phone last night. He then says oh lets go out to dinner for your birthday.....I was already cooking dinner! lol

Each of his sisters remembered. Heck my own sister and dad did not call me either.

Kinda hurt my feelings that the people that mean the most to me did not remember. My kids did remember yesterday morning though, that was nice.

I'm sorry they forgot your birthday. :(
My birthday is always forgotten by everyone in the family.
They say its no big deal but there would be hell to pay if I didn't make a big deal out of their birthdays.
Maybe if you're able, you should do something nice for yourself. Its not the same but it might make you feel a little better.

Happy (belated) Birthday.
(((hugs)))

mine forgot, or basically didn't care, my last 2 birthdays, my 35th, which I tend to think birthdays that are like, 20,25,30,35.... are special. nope, guess not. I was going through divorce with my 30th, so that sucked, and then my new DH forgot my 35th, and he did "tell" me happy birthday for my 36th.... oh well. I found my joy from my kids and my mom. My husbands excuse, "It's just another day". Which he thinks that with everything, thanksgiving, christimas...... yeah, well, I guess that's one of the many reasons your not here right now LMAO
Sorry to hear about your birthday, it does feel nice when those we love remember and atleast acknowledge the day. I am glad to here your children remembered, cherish that!
I found joy in me and my children making a cake and dinner for me, we had a blast!
Happy b-lated birthday to you!!

:birthday:

Happy Belated Birthday! :) I'm sorry they forgot. I know from experience that it hurts your feelings. My mom always made a big deal out of my brothers' birthdays then did nothing for mine. Hugs to you.

Happy Birthday! Sorry he forgot, my dh remembers but just doesn't make a big deal out of it so now I do the same for him. I usually buy myself an icecream cake, go out to lunch, and buy myself something nice from him, last year I got myself a new Ed Hardy bag . This year he is buying me tix to Springsteen and taking me out to eat (he doesn't know this yet, LOL). He is good about doing stuff the rest of the year but just not on birthdays or holidays. I think it's bec. his parents never celebrated or made a big deal out of this stuff when he was a kid.

dh's older sister emailed me yesterday telling me happy birthday and then asked if dh was going to get me a cake. lol Told her to ask him.

DD who is 7 made me a card and the boys gave me great big hugs so that made it a good day.

Your husband and mine must be from the same family. Aggie doesn't do anything for my birthday. I usually do it for myself.

Last 3 years all I've heard is "It's another F" day". Well, to me it's not. I'm sure it's not to you either.

I hope you do something nice for yourself. Even if it's late in coming. That's what I do when Aggie doesn't do anything. He's been surprised many times.

It's your special day and NO ONE ELSE'S. Happy Belated Birthday to you.

Happy Belated Birthday. My DH doesnt make a big deal out of them either. He doesnt like his acknowledged too much and doesnt see the big deal about any of the holidays. Some of it is because some of his later years growing up his parents were Jehovah Witnesses, and some of it is he doesnt like spending money. but he will at least take me to dinner and get me something I want.

[ttistin]

I was not expecting a big deal or a gift. All I wanted was for him to say happy birthday to me. That would have been enough. It just hurts that he forgot all about it.

Happy Belated Birthday to you! One year, DH forgot, as did son. It was very sad.

[BeanieLuvR]

(((ttistin))) Your kids sound so sweet. :) I'm glad that they made your birthday special for you.

Happy Belated Birthday!!!

[littlebuggy]

That sucks! I'm so sorry! Happy belated bday!!! :D

[iluvmybaby]

If I were you I would start making my birthday special, forget your husband and your kids, its YOUR birthday. Go out for dinner, get your hair and nails done if you can afford it, buy yourself a nice dress, do something nice for yourself. Stop waiting for your husband, when your husband asks where you were, say you took yourself out for your birthday and leave a pillow and a blanket on the couch where he will spend the next week cooling off thinking about you an a$$ he was. Not like your birthday changes, its the same day every year

[YankeeMary]

I am sorry that you are hurt. I want to wish you a HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I wish it would have been better for you.

But for me, I pray that my birthday is forgotten this year!!! I will just be devasted if anyone remembers or tries to celebrate it. Last year was when birthdays for me stopped forever!

[iluvmybaby]

PS Happy Belated Birthday!

[Shann]

I feel your pain *big hugs* Happy Belated Birthday, I'm sorry your family didn't remember. My guy knows he better not forget LOL Last year we went on a "vacation" for it and I told him eventho it's six months away he better start planning b/c I want another vacation birthday. :D I agree w/ iluvmybaby, if your family don't make it special, you should. Go out and have a girl's day and leave them behind. :) Sounds like you have great kids tho :)

Happy Belated Birthday!

Happy Belated Birthday. I can't help wondering if these husbands hate to see another year go by and their wives and kids getting older. It may be their way of holding onto their youth. They might as well accept and enjoy the birthday. The alternative is much worse. LOL

[azwup05]

Happy Birthday! A couple of years ago, Not only did everybody else forget mine, I forgot it too! It was 2 days till we realized it.

[Licchl05]

I feel your pain, my birthday is forgotten pretty much every year by everyone because it's 5 days before Christmas. Happy belated!

[gordo24]

this may not sound very nice, but do what I do. (especially if your b-day is before hubby's) my b-day is in may, his june, so i waite & see what he got me......nothing , so when his day rolls around he's hinting about it, and i just say i got you what you got me......NOTHING! YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE!
Happy Belated Birthday!

I certainly don't want to come across as a man basher, but somehow men are not as attuned to these things as women are; maybe they just don't mean as much or something. My dh, who is certainly a great husband (we have been married 30 years now), did almost the same thing this year. And I flat out had to tell my sons (who are 22 and 26, not children by any stretch of the imagination) and if they wanted to get presents, they had to get others presents. I will never forget the episode of That 70s show where they forgot the moms birthday and ran out at the last minute and bought her presents at the local gas station.
