Was it too much to expect my husband and son to give me a card, even Happy Birthday would have been nice. I did get the later after reminding them at 10pm last night they said they had forgotten. Well it's my son's birthday tomorrow shall I be a complete meanie and forget his or is that being just too petty and childish. Pat feeling really peeved with her family

Oh Patricia that's awful. How old is your son? If he's only young then its probably a bit unfair to "forget" his birthday. I'd wait until your hubby's birthday then forget his!!! I'm surprised you waited till 10pm. I don't think I could have gone that long. Happy belated birthday from me anyway.

happy birthday pat, you didnt say how old you were ,so matbe they were trying to save you from further pain of getting older ? i know some people hate getting older ! so maybe they were being ultra considerate.

Thank you for all your kind messages. I was 21 x 3 plus 4 years son is 42. He has already had his birthday/christmas present (a new mobile, digital photo and video phone) a a great price. So it's I'm alright Jack -or Mom -. LOL I told them at 10pm as I stupidly thought they were teasing me but then I am a bit of a fool which I blame on my genes. Thank you all again, wonder if I'm the only forgotten one on the boards? Pat

So sorry Pat. I think that's awful to forget your day. Your son should know better at 42. I'd be really hurt if that was me. If you had put it on the board you would have had loads of messages from us lot. You have a good year 'til the next one. Put notices round the house next year! Jo X.

Thank you all once again, I shall know now that my friends/family are on Gr and not at home. DAVID I think it's dreadful that your parents forgot yours that's far worse than mine. PAT PERHAPS IT IS THE NAME. I HAVE TWO OTHERS SO MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE. Thank you all once again you have really cheered me up, and I must say you are all very good at doing that on these boards. Next year I have decided I shall be either Alvyne or Sylvia and my age will move on to 22 years. LOL Pat

Oh Pat, Happy Birthday for yesterday! A couple of years ago on my birthday, hubby took the kids swimming saying they'd be there an hour. This was 4.30 p.m. At 7 o/c they still hadn't come home, and I (stupidly) had bought a little birthday cake. I had dinner on my own, and needless to say, was more than a little upset when they got back. The kids had got carried away and wouldn't get out of the pool, then they had battled with the traffic. Bob was mortified! Tell you what: tell your son tomorrow that you thought about his birthday, as it is the thought that counts! Lol! Give him a big sloppy kiss from Auntie Glenys, saying that's his punishment for forgetting your birthday, and give your other half two, as he should have known better, lol! Seriously, hope they take you out somewhere to make up for it! Bob did, bless him. Glenys x P.S. Pat, I've just turned 48 but stick to "twenty-several", OK? Works wonders, and you're not fibbing!

Oh dear. Auntie Glenys is feeling a right idiot because she's just read how old your son is. Oops! Glenys x
