Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

Because I am. I mean, i ALWAYS call her. Whether it's her anniversary, birthday, etc. It just bothers me that she does not even acknowledge me...its like I am a piece of s*it!!

I told FH I was pissed, and he says to me: 'well, I know she bought you something'...big friggin deal...does the woman have no respect??? Am I just being overly sensitive? This really bothers me, considering that I am ALWAYS the bigger person w/ this woman!! AND I'm her Future friggin DIL whether she likes it or not!!!

Yeah that's really annoying. She should at least email you or something to acknowledge your birthday!!! I know it makes you feel bad. That would make me mad too.

Re: Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

YES! This past year in fact we had this issue. NO ONE except for his dad's mom said / called from his family to tell me happy birthday, and I think that was b/c he spoke to her over Thanksgiving weekend (my b-day is 2 days before) so they felt dumb, b/c she appologized for it being late (even though it was only 2 days, I wouldn't have thought it was late, I would have thought that she just saved it cause thats when we were seeing them.) The excuse that I got from everyone else was that they are not really 'card people'

Sorry, didn't know you had to send a card in order to call someone. He called his mom the night of and then she got me on the phone (while I was in tears, guys are so clueless) what the heck was I supposed to say?!?!? His dad and stepmom (who's house we were AT on Thanksgiving) didn't say anything and neither did his sister.

BUT my mom sent him $50 in a card and my dad and stepmom (2 days after they found out Stepmom had cancer!) called. My sister sent him a gift and my g-parents sent him money.

It just makes me mad. Not that I want money, that's not what it's about, just the fact that they don't care. His family has more money than ours so it just hurts my feelings when they go out of their way for him and they live 1000 miles away and we live here w/ his family and I don't even get a phone call or card.

Ok, I just got upset again. That stinks!!

Mine doesn't acknowledge my birthday. No one in his family does except his sisters. We went to a family get together one year on my birthday (for a graduation for his cousin) and no one acknowledged my birthday because we were only celebrating the graduation!

My FMIL doesn't call me for my birthday either. It bothers me a little bit but whatever. I don't know if my parents call FH either

His birthday is in two weeks so I guess we'll see.

Re: Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

my FMIL never calls me for my birthday, I dont even think she knows when it is.

Re: Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

MIL doesn't call me for my birthday, she doesn't call DH either to my knowledge. They aren't a big birthday family...

Re: Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

In a word, no.

Re: Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

How horrible of her not to call you... I would be really angry and upset... I don't understand people like that, especially when you are careful not to forget important dates like that!

I do think though that it's down to the FH or DH to make sure his family knows the date and that they respect you (because I think it lack of respect to ignore your birthday), if they are not decent enough to do so on their own.

Well, if it was anywhere near now, I wish you a very Happy Birthday and hope that you had a nice day despite the missing call.

Re: Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

It wouldn't bother me, but if you call her on all of her special occasions; bday, anniver. etc, then she should call you.

Re: Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

Well, in this situation i wouldn't be too mad; i mean, she actually bought you something meaning she was thinking of you ( i never got a gift from fmil ) My b-day was this past tuesday and one of my fsil didn't even send me a msg and i know she knew it was my b-day. THAT got me mad.

Re: Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

I'm pretty sure my FMIL has no idea when my birthday is, nor I hers.

Re: Would you be mad.upset if your FMIL did not even call you on your birthday??

I would feel the same way. But then again I see FMIL almost everyday, we e-mail eachother, and she is the type to do things for every occasion, she even bought me gifts for easter, i don't think I ever got gifts for easter from anyone lol so for me it would be weird if she didn't call because of the way she is.

I don't know your relationship with your FMIL but regardless of how close or not you two are, it would be nice if she called ESPECIALLY if you call her for her b-day then it's only right. I am sure if you didn't call it would probably be a big deal and she'd sit there complaining to others

BTW Happy Belated Birthday
