Hi. Today is my birthday and I've been completely alone all day. I don't usually expect much these days now I'm in my mid 70s, but today I didn't receive a card, a present or even a phone call until after 9pm when my son called. Like most grans I help out a lot. I don't ask them for anything but always there for them anytime. Its only a birthday I know, but it did hit me how so unimportant I am. I search for the best gifts I can find when its their day. I feel so alone. There thats the rant over, I feel better now.

A belated Happy Birthday BeautyBumble. Sadly you are not alone! It's a difficult situation to accept and we find all sorts of excuses for our offspring! However, hope springs eternal! Enjoy the rest of your birthday week. flowers

Your post makes me very sad OP ....my Mum was 88 2 weeks ago ...me59 and DD30 drove 100 miles to spend the day with her and took her for lunch at the Ivy ( which she loved) ....last year me DD and DP and DS1 took her to Wales for her birthday in an air bnb ....year before we took her to Alnmouth and all 3 GOD'S came ..... she likely not got that many birthdays left but I will celebrate each and everyone she does have with her .... she got 17 birthday cards this year which is double what I got!
Belated birthday wishes OP 🎂 🎁 🎈 🎉

beautybumble - hope you’re feeling better. And I hope you treated yourself to something nice. I have been thinking of you.
