No Happy Birthday🙄

Am I in the wrong for being upset that my MIL didn’t wish her grandson a happy birthday. She has 3 other grandkids and calls to check on them etc…she also can remember all 3 of their birthdays but didn’t think to call to wish our son one on his first birthday. If it was somebody I’m not that close with I wouldn’t really care but this your own grandson come on now. There’s no excuse’s because you also have other grandkids.

Yeh I take notes about stuff like that lol.

I can kinda understand your frustration however he’s only one and definitely wouldn’t even know her reason for calling let alone remember if she called or not. But, that’s just me. He’s only 1. Hopefully the older he gets I’m sure she will call him too. I learned a long time ago to not let these things affect me. All that matters is you remembered his birthday and hold those moments close.

I personally wouldn't care about in-laws cuz they aren't the family I grew up with my whole life so it's not the same kind of closeness. But that's just me. You aren't in the wrong though. She is purposely treating you and the baby differently than the others.

I would be upset about that too. Even if your child is young, it’s still a very important day for him and you! A whole year of taking care and helping him grow is a huge accomplishment. It doesn’t matter if he’s 1 or 13, he should still be acknowledged on his birthday

I’m sorry but I’m not sure how only being 1 makes it okay to forget your grandchild’s birthday, but okay? That is hurtful and I would remember something like that. I wouldn’t cause a big argument but I’d make a mental note of what she does or doesn’t do for your child and move accordingly.

@Alexandra I was thinking that too but imo it’s also the thought of “I know my grandson is only 1 but it’s his birthday and I think my child or his mother would appreciate I at least acknowledge his birthday so they know I care about them/him.” And unfortunately a lot of people don’t have that mindset. Me personally idc if my niece nephew or potential grand kids are 6 months, 1, 2 20! Ima still call them up or visit wit a cupcake/cake and baby talk or hang out wit em. 😂💜 It’s the little things 😔💜

Yeah, I totally get that, my son turned one on the 27th. I didn’t personally have anyone text me about it, but my mom called me. I don’t know I guess no one ever called with my other son either at this age, so it’s news to me! Haha. But, depending on what your relationship with your MIL is I totally get it!!
