He definetly should tell your kids it is your birthday. Marriage is not a one way street and your actions should be recipricated. If he cannot buy your child a gift to give to you perhaps you can challenge him to engage your child in a fun and easy event, like making you breakfast in bed or helping your child make a card. Explain to him how great it makes youfeel when he does special things like this for you. Encourage him and make him feel wanted. Do not criticize because then he will not be as likely to do it for you. At the end of the he should definetly be doing something special for you, and you shoud not accept anything less. Haved a great birthday.
oh thats sad maybe remind h9im its youre bday or tell the kid yourself
Tell him how you feel, that it'd be lovely if he could get excited with the kids about your birthday, go on a little shopping spree. Do not be subtle. He is a man, men do not get subtle in most cases! They also do not see any importance in birthdays or other dates we find important. Spell it out for him
Ok I completely understand where you are coming from, it is hurtful to you that he is not recognizing your B-day, and he is being disrespectful and ungentleman like in not recognizing your special day.....
But, my question to you is this....... Why is it up to your husband to tell your children that it is mommies b-day??? Why not tell them yourself. You and your kids could throw you a party since your hubby can't be bothered. You guys could bake a cake together, make party favors, do dinner stuff like that, its something that oyu could do with your kids so that they know B-days are important and should be celebrated.... Plus too that way if you have a son and you teach him about B-day parties it will be unlikely that he will follow in his fathers footsteps and will not do the same to his wife
