A lot of people acknowledged your son's birthday, and the grandparents sent a gift. Some people forgot, which is totally fine. It doesn't mean they don't love him.

My BILs don't remember my kids' birthdays and I don't remember theirs, even though we're fond of each other.

Well, I don't think it's "entitled" to remember a child on his birthday; I think it's just thoughtful and nice. More to the point, if someone is sad about it, is it worth bringing up to the family? I think what makes it worse is that DH always remembers theirs but feels he doesn't get the same back.[/quote]

They DID remember. They sent a gift!!! Have you had your child send a thank you card? That is the appropriate reaction to sending a birthday gift. Not, "Oh, they didnt also call? Poor son."[/quote]

Personally I can't imagine not wanting to know the details of my grandchild's birthday and to hear their voice on their day, but, everyone is different. It sounds like the issue is more the sibs who forgot.[/quote]
