SD14 didn't text or call for my birthday

I don't know why I was at least expecting a text but I was.. my bday is St. Patty's day so I was 99% sure she would remember. I texted DH this morning and said she didn't say anything and he said "she probably doesn't know" and I asked if he really thought she didn't know after 9 years and he said "idk but I don't think it's worth being upset about."

He's right so not sure why I even care. I'm not talking to my own SM so maybe I'm just sore that she didn't call yesterday, either.

I don't know my nephew's

I don't know my nephew's birthday.. (in january sometime).. and don't now my inlaws birthdays either... just "generally" when they are.. I am not great at that kind of thing.

I don't think it, in itself, is a sign she doesn't care... If you wouldn't normally think she would do something hurtful or designed to show she doesn't care for you.. then I would chalk it up to her being clueless... and she probably still relies on her parents to remind her of things like this... and your DH didn't do that.

It's not even like DH should

It's not even like DH should have to but it would've been nice. Obviously he doesn't care because he told me to not be upset and "she does the same thing to him." I guess it's easier to be completely hands off than pretend to care anymore..

I don't expect my SS to

I don't expect my SS to remember my birthday - but I don't do anything for his, either.

Most kids at 14 are self-centered and not thinking about other people's birthdays.

My SD22 didn't msg me either

My SD22 didn't msg me either even after MULTIPLE prompts from DH bc she was sooooooo busy. I totally can relate.

From one birthday girl to another... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

First off Happy Birthday!!!

First off Happy Birthday!!! And your birthday is St. Paddys Day how nice.

So my steps only celebrate their own birthdays.Funny how that is. I must not have one because they have never said happy birthday to me. You are not alone!

I recently had a birthday and

I recently had a birthday and same from my SD - nada. She currently only reaches out to our camp if she wants something so I was not surprised. Even when things were ok she didn't acknowledge unless she happened to be here. It is just ironic because in December she pitched a fit for not being invited over for pizza on my son's birthday, who she doesn't acknowledge either. It's about whatever benefits her on a particular day, not because she cares! I did get a text from my stepson, so that made me happy!

Happy Birthday

We can all reason that SD forgot. Yada Yada yada. This could very well be.

But wouldnt it be nice if your DH reminded her so that you could feel special. Wouldnt it be nice that your SD would remember your special day. I am sure if you forgot SD's birthday, first your DH would remind you and be very disappointed in you to not wish her happy birthday. Wouldnt your DH remind the day after since she forgot? Or is daddio more worried about rocking the boat with his SD, so honoring your day is not all that important.

These daddios expect us to do all the right things, yet their skids get to wallow in the pig pen and do nothing. I am bioless but dang it if I had a kid I would do my best to make sure my kid was respectful and showed manners. This girl is 14, so yea she neds a reminder I suppose if she is challenged or forgetful. Then again she isnt 5 , so c'mon what the freck.

My DH goes all out but in all of the years that I've been in my SD's life, I have never cared if she knew or remembered my birthday. There is really no reason for it to be important to her.

But, I get that birthdays mean different things to different people.
