[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, they did send a gift and text last week for his birthday? Your DH needs to stop being dramatic and acting like they clmpletely ignored/forgot your DS. Your kid won't care either way because like you said he felt loved on his birthday. That's all that matters. I think it's incredibly odd to expect people outside immediate family to acknowledge birthday's. [/quote]

+1  Did DS call, text or send a card to say thank you for the gift?  Grandparents did their part and the ball is in your court.  About this family text chain - did your DH send a text asking for time to set up a birthday call/facetime for DS?  Or should they remember because a text chain exists but you shouldn't have to do anything to try to get the desired birthday experience for your son?

Agree that this is pretty entitled behavior.  Birthdays are fun and special for the immediate family but I don't call every extended family member on their birthdays, nor do they call me.  DS got many calls, texts, and presents and instead of being grateful for all of that attention, he pointed out the few people who didn't call.  Be careful that you're not raising a Dursley.[/quote]
