Is it normal that my whole family forgot my birthday?

So I woke up this morning and headed to school, and it was like any other morning. When I got home I mentioned it was my birthday and I got nothing but blank stares. Is it normal for your entire family to completely forget about your birthday?

    it has to hurt-i have never felt how it is to feel love from a parent-but as a parent-i know how busy life can be-i bet the blank meant that they were so shocked that they forgot and it will never happen again-BTW-Happy Birthday!

    i think its normal.. my family doesn't know my birthday or how old i am. idk. its normal for me. the only time they do remember is when i tell them, but as i grew up i realized that they didnt care about my birthday specifically (since my 3 older brothers always get a celebration of some sort for their birthdays like going out to eat or gifts or even a cake) so i just stop reminding them. my favorite birthday was when i was 8 i think? my mom bought a small cake and i sang happy birthday to myself, closest thing i have to a birthday celebration.

    I'll never understand why people put so much importance into birthdays. They are rather meaningless in my opinion. Someone forgetting your birthday also doesn't automatically mean that they don't care about you, some people have horrible memory for things like dates. I know I do. Or they could just be very busy in their own life that they forget about things like that, or might not have even noticed what day it is.

    My birthday barely gets celebrated:(
    I haven't had a proper birthday since I was about 5 years old.....

    Unfortunately, I guess not celebrating peoples birthdays is normal in some families. I wish it wasn't, though. But trust me you're not alone in this.

  • The blank stare always translates to a "fuck you broseph" in my book.

    And not very normal.
