[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a husband problem. It's on him to recognize her birthday. Gifts are a waste anyway. Either wish her a happy birthday or don't. You don't owe her anything, but if he wants to get her a gift then he can have at it.[/quote]

Unless the husband literally asked his wife, “Hey, now that we’re married, can you take on all birthday reminders and gift-buying for my side of the family? I’m a hapless idiot and can’t be trusted to maintain my own family relationships,” then no this is most certainly NOT a husband problem. If my husband rolled up and was like, “Hey do you want me to send your brother a birthday card and gift” I’d be like…hell yeah, thanks. One less thing for me to do. But as my husband isn’t in the habit of meddling in my affairs—or getting his self-worth from Leading Family Dynamics—this would never happen. THE PROBLEM is when wives volunteer for this shyt. Or when a DH asks or expects this help, and the wife says yes instead of “Nice try, Bucko.”

There are no victims here, only volunteers.[/quote]
