Happy birthday abbeygran. No, not unreasonable. It happens often to me and it hurts.

No, it's very thoughtless of them and most people would feel at least disappointed to be taken for granted in this way. I'm not a big one for birthdays and everyone in the family feels guilty at the amount of trouble my DD goes to, (which no-one else has the time or inclination to reproduce ?) but a birthday card? No, you are not being unreasonable.

If it's important to you then it's not unreasonable.

I don't think its unreasonable to expect a card, but perhaps you could have reminded them?
Happy birthday, by the way flowers

Last year my son forgot my birthday. His marriage had just broken up so I let it go. This year, he’s forgotten again. To make matters worse, my daughter has also forgotten. She’s away at the moment for her job, and I’m looking after my DGS. I help both my AC with my dgs and dgd. I help pay for clothes, trips, have helped pay for holidays etc and ask for nothing in return. To be forgotten on my birthday has upset me very much. Am I being over sensitive?
