So angry!

[Squishymama]

I know I really shouldn't let it get to me (as DH says), especially as I am stressed enough at the moment anyway with the move etc, but I just had to get this off my chest.

It was DH's birthday yesterday, and NONE of his family remembered, (or if they did they chose to ignore it)! I even had a Happy Birthday message for him on my MSN, which I know they saw, and still they didn't contact him- not a call or an email or anything!

DH says he couldn't care less, and that it seems at the moment that they only call him when they want something, (which is true), but for example if he hasn't contacted them by lunchtime on their birthdays (despite the fact he works and none of them do, so it is not aways possible for him to call till the evening), then he gets slaughtered for it!

I am just so angry about it all- it has been getting to me all night! MIL is always making this big deal about DH being her first son, and he will always be very special for that, and she will never forget him, blah, blah, blah....... but then she goes and ignores his birthday!

I am seriously hoping she doesn't try and talk to me today, as my brain and mouth aren't engaged at the moment, and I will probably end up saying something I shouldnt!

Sorry if this seems really petty, but it just tops off a long list of problems with her recently, and I think it just finished off my patience!

I would be cross and upset too. I assume nothing awful happened to them yesterday.

I too get into trouble if I don't ring until the afternoon if it's my Mum or Dads b'day, yet neither of my brothers even acknowledge my childrens b'days even though they are both God parents to them. I suppose it's just one rule for them and one for me. My Mother tells me its because they are boys and boys don't remember things like b'days etc but that I have no excuse lol.

So anyway, I feel your anger and annoyance and I'm sending your dh a big hug for his b'day and one for you to cheer you up.

Thanks ladies. I am still really het up about it, (probably more than DH is), but although he would have people believe otherwise, I know that it has bothered him on some level, and that is what makes me more angry- knowing that he is upset.

Grrrr! Families eh- who'd have them- lol!

MY DH's family are the same. He did not get a card from anyone except his mum and Gran. Nothing from his Dad, or his brothers. My parents sent him a card and gift in the post and they felt terrible when it did not arrive on time.

I empathise, its emotionally upsetting when you feel that your DH is let down in this way.
