     Location: where the wind blows | If I have a right to be upset by the fact it was my birthday and I didn't get a post on fb, text, phone call or message from my 2 living sisters or 99% of my blood family. My ex brother in law wished me happy Birthday and the nephew I share a birthday with, but not one other family member. My husbands family all did, including his neices and nephews. I'm honestly not sure if I should be hurt or ****ed off. Sorry just needed to rant. |

        Location: Kansas | Well, if you had posted this a little sooner all of here on BHW would have wished you a Happy Birthday today. I used to be hurt when my husband forgot our anniversary or my relatives forgot my birthday but now it just seems like one less thing to worry about when I forget theirs. Happy Birthday and don't fret about it. It'll be okay. |

| It's like that for me every year. Christmas 2018 I fixed abigvChristmas dinner and made small portions for the freezer. I don't do drama and if that what it takes to have a peaceful holiday it is way better for me. |

     Location: NC | Happy Belated Birthday!! Totally get where you are coming from, especially if they are hardcore FB people since FB reminds you of birthdays. |

| The only person that hurts my feelings if they miss my birthday is my husband. And I don't want a present, just a happy birthday wish. Everyone in my family is so busy with life stuff, I understand. I myself have forgot birthdays. As long as everyone is doing well and they are happy and we talk at least once a month, I'm good. So, Happy Belated Birthday, I hope it ended a good one! |

| I could have written this. My Birthday was yesterday. I am recently off of Facebook. Removed my account. I got a call from my mom. A text from my sister, a call from my cousin. Oh and 2 out of 3 sister in laws. (Token text) didnt hear from my brother, not a single one of my "friends", my mil or fil none of my nieces and nephews or my stepdaughter. I told myself I wouldnt let it bother me, but it does. A lot. So I say YES you can be upset. People dont live anymore without social media and it truly shows in incidences like this. Even my ex husband sent me a happy Birthday text .... my brother in law didnt, my nephews didnt. It just plain sucks.. I feel you. Happy Birthday, by the way;-) |

| I also do not get many Happy Birthdays anymore. My one niece who I had thought of as a daughter doesn't even send me a text or anything. Since I divorced her uncle and moved away I guess I am forgotten to her. Makes me sad.     We used to be so close not anymore I guess. Anyway Happy Birthday to ALL who have had birthdays and who are going to have birthdays. |

This a great point. I am blessed to have wonderful family, but many don't. I am going to try to make a greater effort to not forget friends and family on their irthdays, especially the ones who are by themselves or have little to no family. Thank you for the reminder! |
