Twin Sheba, you have no idea how uplifting this public happy birthday is. Up to know ( well hubby is stilll sleeping) nobody seems to have rememebered yet.But this is kind of normal. The only familly I have here is from my H's side ( which includes FIL,MIL,and SIL - nothing to expect from there, and no wishes too, I guess - and his aunt uncle grandmother and cousin ( but don't ususally rememebr, even though they're great to me )-.<BR>My mom ususally calls but it's later. My sister unfortunately - given the conditions, you know living separate since babies - doesn't usually rememeber, but to be honest I have forgotten a couple of times in the past too.My kids have been talking about it, but now that it's the day they might not rememeber ( which is normal, the same thing used to happen to me: I would think about my own birthday for weeks in advance, and then when the day was there it completely slipped my mind ), my H... well... he's not much for birthdays and things. When we have money he usually goes overboard - but mainly because he knows I pay attention to these special days, not because he does - when we don't - which is the case now - he tends to .. well there's something to it, he's very selfconscious about our money situation - or lack of it

- and he kind of gets all worried and embaressed when he can't do the things he feels he should. SO what happens is that ( unlike me ) instead of doing a lot of personal things that are nice but don't cost money ( and that I would probably appreciate even more ) he dwells in the fact that he can't buy things and doesn't do anything. Kind of pretends it's not happening ( like what he did with the affair, yes... so perceptive of you to making the link
