[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
I was asked "do you want a party?"  (a week ago).  I said, "oh, no, I don't want anything big."

I didn't say that I wanted my 50th birthday to pass with the only acknowledgment from my husband or kids being be a piece of pie that my husband bought at Lidl at 10am when he bought groceries for the week.  The friends stoping by were unplanned.  They texted 10 minutes before and said "can we stop by?"  That was lovely.

I didn't plan a dinner because that honestly wasn't necessary but it now seems like something I can do to salvage the situation and make myself feel better. I would have been happy with cards, notes, a gift, a plant, a walk as a family, a lunch, a dinner, or even a piece of pie if all of my kids were present.

I just felt overlooked on my 50th.  I am grateful to have reached 50 and I am grateful for friends who texted and parents who are alive and many other things. [/quote]

So when you said no to the party I would have also said “I’d love to have pie with all the kids and maybe remind the kids to get me a card and write something in it because I’d really enjoy that”. [/quote]
