[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I turned 50 this weekend.  My husband asked a week ago if I wanted a party or a gathering and I said no as that is not my style. So he bought me a pie at the grocery store. We said down with the 2 of 3 teenagers who were home at the time and I had a piece of pie. We had two friends stop by and they shared the pie with us. 
That was it.  No cards, gifts, etc except my parents sent me a card.  Many friends checked in by text and phone. 
I think I messed up because I didn't specify to my husband that I would have liked a gift or for my teenagers to acknowledge my birthday. 
No, I didn't want a party but I also didn't want it to just be ignored. 
Sometimes it's exhausting to have to plan everything but I know I have little room to complain if I didn't specify what it was that I wanted. So I have no real grounds to be hurt. 
I'm 50 years old.  Whew.  Today is a new day.  [/quote]

You weren't ignored. There was pie and family time. Why can't you appreciate that?

You're 50. What gifts do you really need?[/quote]
