Dd turned 2

[brgnmom]

and not one relative on Dh's side acknowledged her bday. I feel sad for my dd but I'm glad that she has a mom and older brother who love her infinitely.

:hug: I'm sorry!

I'm sorry. That really sucks. I can empathize. Our daughter's relatives on the paternal side can act the same way, although not as severely as your situation.

[goldenpig]

Oh no! I'm sorry about your DH's relatives. Happy birthday to your DD and give her lots of hugs from us at BBB! :grouphug:

i'm sure my father loves me, and he almost always thinks my bday is 2 days later than it is...so they might be jerks, they might be narcissists, or they might just be...well...let's say 'forgetful'.... :) sorry for your feelings, though - they are legit.

Happy Brithday to her!

I'm sorry DH and his family forgot. That's rough.

[MamaMolly]

I'm so sorry. It is my side of the family that does it in our case. I wish I could say it gets easier.

[brgnmom]

Thanks ladies! :love5: I thought I'd clarify my original post that dh himself didn't forget but just told me not to expect any phone calls or acknowledgement of dd's bday from his side of the family. (And he was right, they didn't, and dh thinks it was because of his setting boundaries recently.)

Thank you for being there. :)

well, if it's a result of setting boundaries, then i think 1) yay for your dh, he must have done a thorough job! and 2) how petty of them & at least they're sulking while she's 2. maybe they'll grow up by the next birthday...

:yeahthat: You and your DH are doing better by DD in setting up boundaries, given some of your posts, than by not doing so, but having them call her and make a fuss while creating problems for you and DH.

Try to think of it as the silence that saved you five thousand dollars!!

Sorry for your DD though. :(

Yay for another November 2 yo :D

Sorry that DH's family are being pills!

Thank you, kartsmama, boolady, sste, and Marymoo. I appreciate your perspectives, and happy second birthdays to your DDs, sste& Marymoo. :love5:
