Do your parents celebrate your bday

[Anonymous]

Sometimes. I grew up estranged from my single mother and now she seems to be trying to make it up to me. I forgive her, but I do get a little annoyed that Amos she feels the need to send me a card when my birthday was never acknowledged as a kid. I know she is probably regretting a lot. That said, she missed last year.

My family was never really loving, but all are now. My half siblings are super into texting and sending silly HB songs and short videos and “love yous”. No one sends me a gift, because they think that I am “so rich”. I’ve been married 25 years and My in-laws on the other hand, call and send a card EVERY year. (Anniversary and Mother’s Day too). Early in our marriage my MIL baked me a cake as a surprise when we were visiting and it brought me to tears. (In 30 years no one had ever baked me a birthday cake,) When we lived closer to them we went out to dinner together every year on DH birthday. Their family is like this though - Dh grandmother sent each of her 20 grandkids $5 on their birthday every year, before she passed away. It was funny to DH at age 40 to get $5 in the mail. He said his granny didn’t get inflation)

We acknowledge my kids birthday every year! “Thank you for making me a mother day”!

My parents send me a card and $100 for my birthday (and my siblings and our spouses for their birthdays). They also call on the day. I think they usually get together for dinner for my sister's and my brother's birthdays, but they all live near each other, and I do not.

Yes, they still like me!

They call me and send a card with a check in it. If we lived in the same area, they'd take us out to eat.

Yes! I always get a call and a card in the mail. Though last year I didn't get a card, and while I was a little sad, it was fine. Finally I did get my mangled, ripped birthday card - five months later. We all had a good laugh about that.
