Am I the only one who gets a little upset when my own family doesn't remember my birthday? My daughter-in-law even called me to see if I could baby-sit. But did she mention my BD? NO!!! She would be very upset if I missed hers or my granddaughters. I even bought my yearly Pepperidge Farm coconut cake so I can celebrate with my dogs later tonight. Yes, I am feeling a little sorry for myself, 69 or not.

Happy Birthday!!!I think your special.

Aw, Hugs! Happy Birthday!!!!!!

I grew up with a mother who said things like: "Were you born in July or October?" (I am the oldest of 6). We celebrated one of my brother's birthdays on the wrong date for 7 years, until we moved and someone looked at his birth certificate.

My parents rarely remember my birthday, and my daughter almost always does. My siblings and I are all pretty hit or miss. I call them all on OR NEAR their birthdays. And they are pretty much the same.

I don't get too worked up about birthdays. There have been a few I spent alone- and with only one phone call. I usually try to give myself a treat- a day of quilting, or something. This year, Jim will be gone on my birthday. So we'll have a pie or something when he comes home.

My 32nd birthday was the worst- I got a body cast that day, which I wore for the next 8 months. I always figure it can't get worse than being 32, using a walker, and getting a body cast. All birthdays look good to me compared to that one.

KNOW the feeling Yes!!!!!!!! It totally sucks.

Happy Birthday to you. Surely do understand your feelings. I'm sure you've made cakes and celebrated for everyone else thru the years. Just please yourself today. It's your day.

Happy birthday from me. I'm sorry the kids didn't remember your birthday.

Happy Birthday. You are not alone, after 34 years my husbands doesn't remember mine.

Hope you have a good day, anyway.

Happy Birthday.

Oh Sweet Thing. Please give yourself a big hug from me. Enjoy your coconut cake and look forward to a wonderful year :thumbup: :thumbup: {{{{hugs}}}}
