[quote=Anonymous][quote]Interesting. To the PPs who think this is no big deal, are you close with your mothers? Do you have kids? It seems like you have pretty cold relationships with your moms, if all you want is for them to call you for less than a minute on your birthday. Who knows, I guess I am needy but am surprised that you are all so low-maintenance.

You'd get much more helpful (or at least clear) responses OP if you said what you want or expect instead of the quick check in you got. What did you want or expect this day to look like for you? What would an "appropriate mom response" have been to your birthday in your ideal world?[/quote]

This. Because right now, OP, you sound very needy for no apparent reason. You are 35, far too old to expect anyone to make your birthday into a national holiday. You say your mom isn't abusive or toxic or anything requiring you to set any serious boundaries to protect yourself from a damaging relationship. Therefore, I don't get it. What did you expect?[/quote]
