So. My parents forgot my birthday.

Forgot my birthday. Yes they did.

No visit. No phone call. No SMS's. No letter or card in the mail. No email! Not even a Facebook message!

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I know what their excuse is. And I'm probably being a big sooky la-la drama queen cry baby. But it hurt. It really hurt. I don't care if we spoke on Monday mum, I don't care if you might come up on Saturday. It's the day you became a parent, it's the day I was born, at least message me. I hadn't even talked to dad since the beginning of September, so no excuses on his part.

I'm hurting a lot. I can't even describe it. Of all the things they've said and done, this has hurt the most.

While we're on the subject, they didn't even bother to ring/message/contact us on Jazzy's birthday either. I'm just glad she's too young to remember they didn't bother, but she's going to grow up.

I'm overwhelmed at the moment. Very numb. I never thought they'd go so far as to forget, or not bother contacting me if they remembered. Every now and then I get a hollow, heavy pain in my chest, but otherwise I'm very numb.

oh darl :hug: id be very upset too

:( huge hugs hun.

your allowed to be sooky la l its your day

Massive hugs hun, I would be hurt too.

Regards,
Dianne

Aw hun:( There's no excuse for that! Very sorry you had to feel like that:hug:

Oh Leasha I'm sorry. That's really awful. My mother forgot my birthday when I was ten and it really hurt, so I have some idea of what you're going through. There is just no excuse for it. Sure you're grown up but its only human to want our parents' love. And now you have Jazz I'm sure you find it impossible to understand how a parent could ever forget their child's birthday or not bother to acknowledge it. :hug: :hug: :hug:

HUUUUUUUGE :hug: im sorry hunni. thats no excuse. my heart goes out to you xx

Hugs I would be hurt too, thats so rude and terrible they are your parents!!!!!!!

Huge hugs Leasha, I would feel the same way.

Oh hun

Im so sorry they have hurt you like this, thats terribly rude of them

hugs

Oh hun :hug: xxx

:hug:

Oh sweety that would suck big time :hug: I would be devastated as well. :(

Oh Leash. :hug: I hope they realise and make it up to you.

Aww hun Massive hugs :hug: i know the feeling Hun as the same thing happened to me a few years ago and you have every right to feel the way that you do i hope they get there act together .

:hug:

HUge hugs :hug:

I don't blame you for being so upset, that must really hurt.

I hope they find a way to make it up to you.

And I know it's not the same but :happybirthday: from me.

I'm so sorry i cant believe parents could forget birthdays like that,not even a text! I am in even more shock that they didn't remmeber Jazz's birthday!

I would be so hurt as well, and totally understand why you would feel that way....

Oh Leash :hug: My dad forgot mine too this year, and has for every single year since I was 10. I think I'd be more shocked if he actually remembered, than if he didn't!

I can't believe your mum forgot though - thats horrible :(

I'm sorry that you have to go through this, cos its just crap. And even the million messages on your facebook (heehee) wouldn't make up for your parents not contacting you.

HAhahahahaha thanks for the link Nelle :lol:

Thanks everyone for coming to my pity party :grouphug: Still feeling hurt though!

Oh you poor darling, that is awful! I cannot imagine how any mother can do that to her child no matter how old. My daughters will still be my little girls when they are 50!!
Happy Birthday beautiful girl from someone probably as old as your mother!!

:hug: That just plain sucks :(

Huge :hug: hun. It does suck.

Oh No, how awful for you

Huge :hug: and Happy Birthday x

Hugs hun! No wonder your upset!
I can relate - My dad's forgotten my birthday for as long as I can remember - You would think I would be use to it know but it still hurts like a b***H. Bet he ill forget tomorrow too, even tho i reminded him last week...
Bug hugs!!!

I am so so sorry...there's not really words is there

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that :hug:

That sucks. My nan forgot my birthday this year, that hurt. Especially cos I'm the only grandchild that remembers hers, and I remind all the other grandkids to send her something.

Are your family just not really birthday people? On the upside, you're off the hook for calling them on their birthdays...

:yeahthat: that's exactly what i thought, and was so shocked too :o

Just as Audax mentioned - Are your folks NOT into celebrating birthday's cause i still can't wrap my head around this but still no excuse if they know you love to celebrate your birthdays and how important it is to you.

I'm so sorry. :hug: :hug:

It was always important to them. Very important. Growing up I wasn't even allowed to have a party ON my birthday because it was a FAMILY ONLY kind of day, and I had to asked permission to go out on my 19th birthday. I ended up going out after our family dinner.

Mum text me today. No excuses, she just said she forgot. Dad got back on Tuesday I think, but nothing from him so far (my parents are still together though).

They're coming up tomorrow.

Aw Leash, I just saw this, so sorry your day was ruined like that.

:hug:

Big :hug: xxx

It's a bit late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I'm so sorry your family forgot. You wouldn't think they would - and it hurts more than you can really explain when they do.

I unfortunately sympathise with you darlin.. my father forgets every year.. and it still hurts every time. My brother called me a couple of days before my birthday this year and said "hey happy birthday in case I don't call on your birthday". I still don't really know how to feel about that one.

Funny though - if you forgot their birthday - i'm sure you'd hear about it.

I'm sorry you're hurting mate - maybe you should take yourself out and get a pamper pack at the local salon. Give yourself the best birthday present money can buy. It's your day - you should enjoy it :-)

Oh my love I'm sorry. :comfort: I know it's no consolation but my Dad never recognises my birthday either. It does hurt. Sending you love. xxx

:grouphug:

sorry to hear, hun.

oh hunny *big hugs* that is horrible!!! i am completely shocked a parent could forget a childs birthday...*shakes head* I'm crying for you.

I hope you had a good day despite it with your woman and DD.

and for what its worth HAPPY HATCHDAY!!!!!!!!
