[Closed] What do you if your mate forgets ya b'day?

3

3. Shrug it off but drop the birthday thing altogether.

We all give to receive, right?

I think thats prob the best policy - was going to wait and see if they forget my wifes birthday in May? 😉

MTFU! I regularly forget my siblings, or remember, but don't get round to giving them cards / presents for a while after.

Do unto others..... Until you all have a word and say, let's drop the whole B'day thing.

1

Tell them how much he has hurt your feelings and say you think he does not value the friendship as much as you do...say you feel like they are taking you for granted and ask them if he still feels like he used has the magic just gone from your relationship?

Seriously are they disorganised ****wits who mean no snub by it or does it actually mean soomething?
If the fromer shrug it off the later 2.

how old are you? MTFU! 😆

Adults giving each other birthday presents? FFS.

bitch-slap him 😈

Old enough to care 😉 - I know most people don't celebrate birthdays so prob don't care - think we'll just drop it - thing is they started it 😉 BTW I usually get him bike related gear and vice versa 🙂

Is it just me that get nice cards and pressies then - oh dear - some people out there are missing out then 😉

I am always forgetting peoples birthdays - even family 'cos I am a disorganised f wit. I have even forgotten my own birthday several times.

Non of my friends really send cards / pressies for birthdays

BTW this post is a bit tongue-in-cheek 😉 Just in case peole are taking it too seriously 😉

If you're over about 18, then just get over it.

Adults seem to place too much importance on birthdays these days.

Personally, I couldn't care less about my birthday.

I think most people don't like celebrating that they are one year older - correct?

Go on guys and galls - vent that Monday frustration 🙂

Carry on as you are. I've been sending my family pressies every year for, well, ever. For a long time I got nowt back, and my parents don't seem to ever want anything and tell me not to bother.
But that's just tough. 😉
They're getting something (that I've put thought and effort into, not crap) weather they like it or not, and weather I get something back or not
😀

I forgot my own 21st. What sanction should I apply ?

LOL - Hmm 🙂 SB - I would say just keep ignoring your own birthday and you won't be dissapointed 😉

I forgot my own 21st

Ditto here

Anyway - I don't know anybody's [outside of immediate family] birthday
I didn't think men generally did

Not everyone puts as much importance on birthdays and many have more things to worry about I suppose. Hardly a problem. 1 or 3. I always do birthdays and presents with close family, and the family always come together to celebrate, but friends etc - a quick call or text suffices.

1 then 3

I never remember anyones birthday and don't expect people to remember mine. Birthdays are pretty insignificant to me.

get over yourself......

it's just another day. what is there to celebrate? new wrinkles? one year closer to being dead?

*hands SFB the service revolver*

your not male are you? 😆

Foxy Rider, was my birthday not worth remembering,You didnt get me anything last year, so this year ive chosen February the 10th as my birthday so pleases end me a gift, something small and expensive.

Ohn and im still 14.

Sorry Project but I don't class you as a close mate - so nope you not in luck there - go beg something off the classifieds 😉

i don't think any of my mates would know when my birthday is. so if they forgot i'd have a cup of tea unknowingly.

so, 1) and 3)

thanks for the constructive comments - I think therefore its 1 then 3 🙂

So.. how old are you? 😉

3... although you could keep with the crowds and start a facebook group against him or do what we used to do at uni and sign him up to Hidden Hearing. They won't stop pestering for years!

I forget my wife's birthday regularly (well....about once a year))

She just laughs.

Grow up I'd say 😉

After 18 I gave up on birthdays. who cares if i;m one year older.

Different for kids, they should have a fuss made over them, but for us grown ups ? who gives a shit. More things in life to worry about.

I'd ask them whether they wanted to still exchange gifts.

But the time for this conversation is just before their birthday. Not just after they've missed yours.

You can still send them a card though.

Dump him, he's broke your heart and hurt your feelings.

I think you need to take one step back from the relationship. I have a pal and we never send each other cards but get the occassional call or catch up twice a year.

I never got a single card-even my Dad sneaked out to the post officee to get me one as he forgot.

I never tell pals my b'day and keep it hush so I can enjoy my day myself even GF forgot!

So I MTFU.

But if someone sent me one I would make sure I would send them one too-so I understand you're miffed.

It's your Birthday-organise a party next time? and MTFU and stop sending you pal birthday cards-they'll soon get the drift if they're not busy.
