You’re not over reacting. My birthday was less than a month after my son was born and we were very much in the trenches I but still got presents, had fish and chips for dinner with my family and cake and my husband did his best to take the load off me for the day. I’m sorry your birthday was so disappointing ❤️
No, definitely not too much to ask for! The whole baby life takes over for everyone. My birthday was eating a vanilla slice by myself in the hospital, replying to happy birthday messages. Unfortunately, from my experience, we need to ask clearly and explain how we are feeling... they don't see it or us in this stage. I totally hear you, we go through and give up a lot, and want someone to see us still, particularly on our birthday! But welcome to your 30s! We see you. You're still you. Xxx
