[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don’t you send the group text a month before? You need to initiate this.

Seriously. Her birthday comes every year and you’re just ignoring it. It’s your mom. If you don’t want to celebrate on the day of, whether it be because of your husbands birthday,  big work project, a school play, or whatever, just initiate something that will work for you.

And I don’t get how the actual birthday of an adult is such a holy day. I mean, you go out the day before, the day after, on the weekend - for both your husband and your mom. And you can arrange for cake and gifts, if you do that, around other events in your day. And you can be nice and helpful all year round so that there is no need to be ever present and especially helpful on your husband’s birthday.

This dilemma comes up every single year. By the 23rd time, it’s hard to believe you haven’t figured out how to make them both feel special. [/quote]

I don't know, my FIL is really into his birthday, in a way that no other adult I know is. Like it's not enough to go out to eat, he wants actual presents. (No one in family, and no one else in my husband's, gives presents to adults for any occasion whatsoever.) But after many year of marriage, I know this and we plan for it in advance! Agree it's crazy OP can't do this. [/quote]
