Yes. Phone call in the am, flowers from my dad, cards and presents, dinner together. If I am having a party, they come. Ive celebrated my birthday without them 3 times. 21, when i was studying abroad and when dh and i were first in love and went on tropical vacation that week. When i was younger i resented that they were present and when i had parties at my first apartment mom came and brought food and commented if i was talking too loud or my outfit. As i got older (40 now) i really appreciate it and its lovely that they know to my friends and neighbors and are very good conversationalists and its never boring with them. (And they bring good champagne

| I get a happy birthday text. I am not into birthdays and do not want cards or gifts so a text is perfect for me. If they forget, I wouldn’t even care. |

| I don't have a relationship with my parents, so no. But my inlaws do. They live across the country and have sent everything from a cake from a bakery in the city I grew up in to flowers, to gifts, etc. |

Somewhat.
They live on the west coast. For a few years we weren't getting along and they would do things like call me at 11:30 pm to wish me happy birthday because that's what was "convenient for them." When we did get along better, they'd send a card with a check for $100. |
