My husband and kids forgot my birthday completely last year. Like, literally none of them even told me happy birthday, and when I went to bed, I told my husband I was really hurt. He apologized and said he was sorry and would do better next year. A year later, and they all forgot AGAIN. My sister texted my kids at 7pm to remind them and they made me a card, but my husband conpletely forgot. When I told him just now that he forgot again, he was like 🤷🏼♂️, I don’t really care about birthdays. I’m not asking for a lot. I just want to be told happy birthday, maybe a card. A cheap grocery store plant or chocolates would be, like, above and beyond. I work really hard at home and at work to take care of my family, and all I wanted was some low key acknowledgement. I’m going to buy myself my own present instead, and it’s going to be very expensive indeed. Maybe jewelry, maybe a bag. Got any good suggestions for mid-high three figures’ worth of anger and hurt?
Buy yourself a new Chanel
+1 you deserve it
If you think a Chanel is mid-high 3 figs, you’re wrong. The bags are around 4.5k
Oh gosh.. Seriously, are you 15?
Oh gosh... seriously, did you miss the point that it’s about being appreciated by my family occasionally, not about the birthday per se?
Alright @Google let’s just have nobody remember your birthday for the next 3 years see how you feel
Stupid birthday thing.. ,🤦🤦🤦
I would ask him to manage the kids for a day or weekend and treat yourself. Go to a hotel/spa and unwind. Next time dont leave it to chance, at the beginning of anyone's birthday week in the family, do an announcement so everyone is prepared. How old are your kids? Kids will understand how important birthdays are and how sad you felt if you explain. You can always throw in a since we didnt celebrate my birthday shall we forget everyone's birthday this year. That will wake them up
does he remember his own birthday?
That's the stupidest question...
That's a good question . My husband doesn't care about his either
Happy Birthday! 🎊🎂🎉
First of all happy birthday from the blind community, don't pay attention to this idiots
Was he like this before you got married? Seems like something that would be identifiable when you’re bf/gf. But yea I feel bad for you :\ some cultures maybe don’t recognize birthdays the same way western cultures do maybe that could be it?
We’ve been married 16 years. Things change a lot over that much time, and he always used to remember my birthday until the last couple years . And we’re both white Americans, no cultural things. It’s just lack of effort.
maybe he’s stressed about something?
Did you celebrate your BD before? Is your husband caring in other instances of your life? Im not used to celebrate my bd much, though it was a thing since my childhood. A simple "happy birthday" is enough for me, but I know there are people who literally don't care. They can be loving and admire you, and express that through other things, but birthday means nothing to them and they don't find it important to care. Don't do passive aggressive shit. Invite your family for a birthday. Tell them you want to celebrate your birthday, it's important for you and you want them to be your guests. Go together to some restaurant or do some activity together, so all of you keep some good memories. You'll enjoy it more than an expensive gift from yourself.
Have a little respect
Why the F do people always ask for TC?? Why is that any of your business. And you do realize most people inflate their TC right
