@ PurseAddict: Wow that really stinks. And I empathize with you truly. I really hope that you don't hold on to or nuture that hurt and you move on without keeping that in the back of your mind.

Happy belated birthday! So sorry you were disappointed. I'm from a family that just says Happy Birthday and sometimes gets a cake. We're not too big on celebrations. So I wouldn't get hurt but I'd advise, if it really bothers you, to call them and let them know that your birthday passed by so they get a chance to wish you a happy bday. I've forgotten important birthdays without meaning to and feel horrible later.

I know how you feel... My mom totally forgot my b-day! Even to this day she has not acknowledged my b-day at all!! She just forgot... sniff sniff... oh well. I think its just a rite of passage... adulthood... everyone is so busy with their lives that not knowing what day or what the date is - is Very common!!
I've missed friends b-days in the past... it's just a common thing - try not to take it too seriously... Your family still Loves you!!

Has this happened before other years? Sometimes we are not aware that our family is dysfunctional. It took me a long time to realize this about my own family. We are in denial about it. Also, it is common in some families to favor some siblings over others and treat them better, and that really sucks.

I'm wondering, do you normally get phone calls or notes from your family each year on your birthday? I ask because in some families, adult birthdays aren't a big deal and aren't really celebrated or acknowledged as special....not because they don't care, but because it just doesn't strike them as a special occasion. However, if your family is one that normally acknowledges birthdays, then yes, I can definitely see how you would feel hurt. I would too! To give them the benefit of the doubt, they probably just plain forgot. (my parents only remember my birthday like every other year...one of my brothers always remembers, and my other brother NEVER remembers)
Hopefully they'll realize the oversight and send you a belated birthday wish. Hugs!!! |

I know what you mean purseaddict79. It is hurtful and although we aren't kids anymore I still think a "Happy Birthday" would be nice on your special day. Happy belated birthday!

My dear, happy belated birthday!
No, I don't think you overreacted IMO. I was a little upset my mom didn't call me in the morning to wish me a happy birthday this year (and I turned 30 as well!!). It just turned out my aunt dragged her and my family to help her get a Cars for Clunkers trade in and all sorts of confusion was amiss. I have a friend who alleges his family doesn't take birthdays all that seriously and you know what? They all seem to be sad people. That's why I think the behavior you mentioned seems to be insensitive and very much hurtful. I don't think you are reacting badly. Hope you are feeling better! *hugs* |

Happy Birthday!!! o.k. I know it's a little late but still 30 is a big deal IMO. It's your special day that comes once a year. You are definitely not overreacting. I know how you feel. My b-day was on the 28 and I also didn't get any calls from any of my family. Then again I never do. Im the one who every year remembers everyone else's b-day but unfortunately nobody remembers mine. Oh well. At least you have your so.
