Let me first start by saying I have the most wonderful mother in law.I mean we get along have never argued she's just a very sweet woman and I adore her.I feel very blessed especially after reading some of the mother in law horror stories on here lol.
But the thing is today is my birthday.Four days after my youngest daughters birthday.And my mother in law has never remembered my birthday gotten me a card or anything.It bothers me every year and I wind up in tears.Then I feel like such an idiot because of it because she IS such a wonderful person.It just really hurts because we are so close and I love her so much.She never forgets anyone else's birthday but mine.I'm not asking for gifts or anything just a simple Happy Birthday.Her excuse this year was well I thought it was on Saturday.Well I saw her Saturday and no Happy Birthday then either.The only reason she called today was to check on my oldest dd because we had to take her to the dr.I'm just wanting to know am I being a big baby or do I have a reason to feel hurt?How would you ladies feel?
I would be hurt as well. I'm sorry hun!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!! :)
it wouldnt matter to me since she's so great. i think your being a baby. (not being mean, but you did ask)
I can understand. Maybe you can mention it at you DD's birthday. or if you have an understanding man maybe you can discuss it with him and have him remind his mom on your bd. my mil is very sweet but very flighty if she forgot my bd i would understand but if it bothered me i would have him call and ask to babysit for my bd and so he would say it and she would say happy bd. i know its not genuin that way but it might help. sorry though
Yes, I would be hurt. Hell I was hurt my MIL did forget my birthday last year and my oldest sons birthday this Jan!
If I were in that situation...I would probably speak to my husband about that, its his mom! Maybe he can tell her or remind her, I guess! Honestly I wouldnt really care if my b-day was forgotten....unless you were my mom, dad, my hubby...or sis or bro, but because of your close knit relationship, i can see why it effects you...and since you are that close maybe you can tell her how it hurts you! Good Luck
