Son's Birthday

My son turned one on the 23rd (he's my second). My mom, sister, uncle and married friends of ours called/ texted to say Happy Birthday to him. That's it. No one else. Not a single person on my husband's side. I know my son is too young to realize, but I am so sad for him about it. No other friend even sent a text (I always send a happy birthday text on their kids birthdays). Everyone just forgot him. I'm so sad over this.

Honestly that’s still a lot. If you didn’t throw a party they were all invited to then I don’t see how other people would remember. Grandparents probably should but not required. My mom and my husbands mom both said happy birthday to our daughter. No one else and I didn’t feel bad. I usually get a happy birthday from max like 5 people. Usually they are late birthday wishes, but I also don’t have my birthday on Facebook or make a big deal about it. If you want people to remember you kinda have to make them remember

I can get over my friends not remembering. But my sons grandmother? His aunt and uncle? No, that pisses me off. His birthday was now 4 days ago and still nothing from them

I mean did you remind them? Invite them to a party? Update them on his life frequently? My sister didn’t even respond to the text inviting her to my daughter’s party. Am I mad? No, I know she has anxiety and has a hard time communicating. My other sister came to the party but didn’t say happy birthday day of. Are these people playing an active role in your babies life? If so just be happy If not, then move on and create a better support system.

@Sarah Bro, read the room. This is an app for people looking for support, advice and overall information. I'm upset and allowed to be. I'm here venting on frustrations because that's one of the reasons this app is for. I'm sorry you grew up in a family that can't even be bothered to acknowledge one another on life events, that sucks. But I expect a higher level of love and caring for my children.
