Late Birthday cards

I am so miffed that my DSS and his partner are always late with every single family birthday card/present. Last week they actually were with the family member the day before his birthday and the day after and he still hasn't received anything!! Not even a flipping card!

Is a years notice not time enough?

Does this bother anyone else or aibu ?

Each year I am both heartened and saddened by the cards I get. Heartened by ones from people who remember my birthday or at Christmas, but saddened by not receiving ones from old friends who are no longer able or even alive to send cards. I'm happy to get emails or text messages from younger relatives - I just don't want to be completely forgotten sad
