He’s forgotten my birthday.

Belated birthday greetings. It sounds as though you had a good day despite OH's forgetfulness.

If he has memory issues it is understandable. Hope you have a lovely day anyway.

Hope you had a lovely day .

Happy Birthday Chicken. I hope that you have a wonderful day. Enjoy your special day . As the others have said men can be forgetful unless they have a rocket up their proverbial!!

Happy belated birthday! It only cam through today

Happy Birthday!

Belated happy birthday chicken enjoy the beans 🎂

Happy Birthday!

I know exactly how it feels. My husband always forgot my birthday, as birthdays did not mean much to him.

Like you, I felt sad, and still do, as there is now no-one left to wish me a happy birthday as my parents and sister are long gone.

I am glad you have found some things to enjoy on your birthday.

i completely understand, chicken

Have collected and cherished the past 'n' years worth of birthday cards he drew for me
now . after a few strokes in his mid-90s..... early in the morning on my birthday He wakens me with a slurred .'Apbirsh' as far as I can transliterate it
I so enjoy it...... and he, in 60 years of marriage has never sent me a birthday present..... only a ( maybe a free gift' the florist was happy to be rid of) a 1- remaining leaved rubber plant which he produced from behind his gabardine mac He could not understand why I screamed with laughter
His family was too poor to do presents maybe...... He never objects when I pay for whatever I like from hIS money All is well in N hants !!

Happy birthday Chicken. It's always a tad hurtful when a special day is overlooked. But you have risen above it and taken comfort in the beautiful vegetables you have grown.

Happy birthday! My hubby doesn't have memory problems but has only remembered my birthday, our anniversary and Valentine's Day without prompting half a dozen times in our 41 years.

I never put any reliance on male memory. I have just seen on Facebook a picture of my lovely DiL receiving her PhD at her graduation ceremony. DS ccompletely forgot to tell us she was graduating today.

A week or so before my birthday I discuss with DH where we will go out to for a birthday meal. With a bit of luck he then asks whaat i would like for my birthday and in a really good year I will also get a birthday card.

He comes from a family that didn't really celebrate anything very much, and he is very happy to celebrate, its just it is not instinctive in him.

Hi and hope you have a happy birthday, please regard this as a virtual card! 💕🩷🌷

PS I’m afraid that I shamelessly remind people about my birthday by inviting them to tea or whatever!

With my husband we talk about it a day or several in advance and plan what to do. Our lives are so complicated nowadays, and days can merge into months, so I don’t take chances!

Have a happy remainder of your special day 🎁🎂🎈

Happy birthday .

I think that those whose husbands forget birthdays should perhaps think what the marriage itself is like.
In my opinion, it’s silly to get upset about one day, but this does depend on what the other 364 days are like! I, for one, would rather have a happy, loving marriage to a man who forgot my birthday than a miserable one to one who remembers it.
I was lucky in that I had a brilliant marriage and my husband always remembered birthdays and anniversaries. He wasn’t a saint…..he simply had a diary!

Did he really draw cards for you? How absolutely lovely!

Happy birthday Chicken and enjoy your day celebrating eating your runner beans.

That reminds me of my late Granddad. I’m only telling you that because of your name. He was Welsh and many/most Welsh males are notoriously unsentimental. He never remembered either and always had be reminded by one of us.
Now I think of it, another Welsh friend moans that her husband forgets. I think it must be a bit of a Welsh thing!

Hi Chicken Lady.

Here ia a little song fir your birthday from me.

Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken, lay a little egg for me
Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken, I want one for my tea
I haven’t had an egg since Easter, and now it’s half past three
So, chick, chick, chick, chicken, lay a little egg for me.

Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns

Hip Hip Hurray!!!!

Best Wishes
🎶🎂🍸

💐🎂🍸

What a lovely person you must be chicken to understand and look on the bright side of life. Definitely a glass half full type of person. Happy birthday and have a lovely day

Happy birthday chicken, you’ve beaten me by one year I was 88 last week. My DH had dementia and was in a nursing home until he died last year so I too missed my loving hugs, card and gift so I know how you feel. We can’t give you a real hug but I join everybody else hoping you had a lovely day with growing your produce and your little pal and your memories
I hope by the time you read this you did have a hug as I did from family and friends 🥰😘🎂💖
