Some guys are as bad with wedding anniversaries, including special ones like, 1st, 20th, 25th. My Dad shocked my Mum by buying her a beautiful brooch on their 24th Wedding Anniversary. He completely forgot their 25th…..or said he did. I can’t remember him ever taking her out to dinner….or buying her flowers.

O.K. the husband definitely needs to pick up his game.

Great story. It put a smile on my face too. Sorry. But you will laugh about it one day. My 2 lovely sons live interstate and my birthday was coming up the next day .Eldest son reminded youngest son don’t forget to ring mum it is her birthday tomorrow. Youngest son rang mum the next day oldest son forgot and remembered a few days later. I laughed and thought it was quite funny.

Ha ha ha ha great story. Made me laugh, maybe I shouldn’t have, sorry. Maybe you can laugh at it now too?

I hope that you have had a nice birthday since the horror birthday!

I hope your next birthday is the total opposite to the one you just described.

At least you got cupcakes. The rest sounds pretty shitty.

You know what to do when it’s your hubby’s birthday don’t you?

Hope your next birthday is lovely and surprise day for you

Oh that’s not a very nice day I got a toothbrush one year. Boy did he pay (and continues to pay) for that one!

My husband is always lovely on my birthday but we don’t often exchange gifts. We just allow ourselves a treat of some sort. This year I’m going to pay for his ute to be resprayed, I want to get my first ever luxury facial, ( his is going to cost waaaaaaaay more than mine, but oh well). It’s just easier we agree on the money to be spent, if any, and get our own thing. Meanwhile my own mother and father are sooooooooooooooo slack, many times they haven’t wished me, their only daughter Happy Birthday, or maybe 3 days after, casually. I fuss over them like an idiot for their birthdays and Mothers/ Fathers day and always buy them and my 3 brothers gifts and make them a special cake. Well, stuff that, none of them could be bothered when it comes to me or my family so this year they can feel a bit lonelier. Instead of the usual specially chosen gift, chocy’s and card I give to Mum for Mother’s Day, this year I just texted her LOL. As for Christmas, they have never given their ONLY grandchildren, my sons a gift!!! Or on their birthdays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so angry this year when they didn’t even ring my eldest son, he adores them and they couldn’t even bloody ring him. I let them know that this is the last year they are getting away with it, and how let down he would feel. So many of us have slackos too
