I want neither of these things. Until my kid was almost in tears about nor having presents to open or a cake/cupcakes to blow out a candle I figured we were good with out trip. I would have been wrong.
Oh sad:( I also want neither of those things but if I did, I would hope that I wouldn't have to tell MH after 30 years of marriage. Men can be really dumb about some things though.
people, not men. I am horrible about it.
And for me it comes down to different preferences. DH is happy having a house full of people all night and entertaining them. I would do prefer it be him and I doing something alone. So yes, when he has some expectations for a birthday, he makes sure to let me know.
S/O the title discussion, I feel like a super douche when people ask me when I do for a living and I say i am a scientist. It sounds so pretentious. Even though it is literally what my certification and job title both say.
I don't think that sounds douchy or pretentious. It sounds cool AF
I should add that they have a wine bar, sample stands everywhere, seafood bar, salad bar and they cook your steaks for you. We'll probably eat our dinner in the car...

I'm sorry Amy. I know you want your H to want to recognize your birthday in certain ways and he just doesn't get it. And I understand why you don't want to have to force him or tell him what you want. But it seems like at this point in your relationship, its not going to change.
I always think of that scene from the Break-Up with things like this. When Jennifer Aniston tells Vince Vaughn that she wants him to want to do the dishes and he replies, "who would want to do the dishes?"
This makes no sense I want him/them to want to do something anything for my birthday And I'm damned sure they aren't going to turn around and say who would want to get something for their birthday? Cause they certainly expect something for their birthdays lol
I have never been under the impression that I had to ask to be recognized on my birthday from MH. That's a little ridiculous to expect. Now, if I wanted a specific thing and didnt say so, then I have no right to be upset.
A simple gesture from your family on your birthday is not fucking hard. There shouldn't have to be talks to set this expectation. I'm really wtfing over here.
I mean, duh? But apparently she has asked for this more than once and her family isn't delivering. You can't make people change and not be shitty.
Hence why I suggested she treat herself. Yes it still sucks but she doesn't have to let it ruin her whole day.
I thought we were arguing about whether or not you need to ask for simple gestures such as a card.
I agree that she should treat herself, because fuck that shit.
I'm going for a professional certification this year and when I pass I will for sure put the initials on my resume and email signature. Isn't that part of the point? (I mean learning and stuff first. Lol)
In my own field, there are semi-regular debates about using the initials. Some people think it's important and others think it's silly. I wouldn't be comfortable using them myself, but I don't really notice when others do.

YEah this. Sorry, but if I have to tell my So every year what to do for my birthday what is the point. At that point I may as well get my own cake and card because he is only doing it because I said not because he wants to do it.
If a spouse and or grown ass children don't treat you like you think you deserve to be treated, put on your BGP and tell them your feelings were hurt by x, y, z.
Being petty and turning around to do the same thing solves nothing, IME.
You think they haven't been told? After a while it's just assumed that mom can be ignored and she will get over it when they say they'll do better next year
Think about it. If I have to say that I expect a card or a cake or a small gift and have to remind over and over and then take them by the hand to go get something
Well you kinda realize that nobody really cares
Didn't this happen at Christmas? You were very explicit about what you'd like and they all ignored it or maybe even got you nothing? In which case they definitely owe you.
