[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP, and these responses are laughably rude. Wow. This board is really something. Not everyone is a stone-cold ice mannequin without feelings. I actually think feeling a twinge of sadness if someone forgets a birthday - or questioning a friendship - is the stuff of life. I posted a vulnerable question. The outsized judgmental, rude commentary here is ... just wow. I am really happy for the dozen or so of you who think birthdays are dumb or are too busy or proud or above it all to celebrate, but I do question what makes you respond with such anger anonymously. Yikes![/quote]

OP - sorry your feelings were hurt.

If it is any consolation - I forget to eg if birthdays and like it when people forget mine so I don’t feel guilty when o forget theirs.

Some of us just don’t care that much about birthdays except for our kids/ younger relatives.

But this was your 40th and your kids were with their dad So I can see how it might have made you feel unseen and vulnerable.

I hope you have a blast in your 40s! [/quote]
