No big deal. I feel like birthdays are for kids, and insecure attention whore adults or adults who've almost died.

So it wouldn't affect my mental health. However, I'd have a total shit-fit and consider a divorce if my husband threw me a surprise birthday party.

I would feel hurt. Ive always been appalled by people who are birthday divas but also jealous of theur moxie to demand attention.

My birthday is on Tuesday. My sister will remember, that’s about it. DH will be instructed to make me whatever I decide I want for my bday dinner, otherwise he will do nothing. Still contemplating what I want.

My parents forgot my 16th birthday so I got over that being a special day to anyone but me a long, long time ago.

That said, I do appreciate the efforts friends, coworkers, and family make. It’s nice.

But it won’t break me if they forget.

Throw a party! Invite people, tell them you want to have a good time and celebrate with them if they are available (and you pay for it).

My family remembers mine. That’s it. I do have a great birthday - summer near July 4. Every year I plan a trip and I am always happy for my birthday.

I wouldn’t care. Birthdays aren’t a big deal for me.

Like, no close friends, sibs, et cetera? How would you feel and how would you bounce back? Would you care, mentally and emotionally?
