[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP,

They did not acknowledge your child's birthday in any way? In that case, they probably forgot. Which is really not cool, since they're parents themselves and know that the first birthday is important. They're probably really busy with their lives, work, kids. But it doesn't excuse them.

There's nothing you can do but let it go. However, I would be offended. [/quote]

OP here. Nope. My brother got defensive when I mentioned it after the fact and argued we weren't that close and I never bothered with his kids birthday (literally not true, there are pictures of me with those kids when they turned 1. I was elated for them.).

I am guessing they forgot as well. I just wished they apologized genuinely instead of arguing.[/quote]

I think this is the concerning part.  If that's the way things are you should figure that they don't want big birthday celebrations on either side and let it go.  Or you can tell them that this is really important to you to try to get them to see, but you can't make them care sadly.  And it's easy to say your close.  Ignore the words. Listen to their actions, which are speaking quite loudly here.

PP again.  But yes, I would be offended, especially that they forgot about the effort you put in with their kids.
