She's 15 and went to a friend's for the weekend. I said it was okay but I still expected she would call to wish me a happy birthday. Are teens always so inconsiderate?

I'm not all that hurt or anything; I just thought she'd call because we have such a good relationship.

I'm sorry. I really am. It's the summer and I forget what day it is during this time. I forgot all day and then I remembered at like 11 at night. I figured you'd be asleep so i didn't call.

You should be a little upset, but then again you should remember what it was like when you were her age. I say that your daughter has had such a wonderful time with her friends and its simply slipped her mind. I am pretty sure that once she realises she will feel pretty bad about it. I wouldn't kick up a fuss about it, as i think that its going to make the matter worse especially for you. Just enjoy your day and have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday. I am sorry she did not call. You know teens minds are often on other things and I am sorry she did not call. You could go buy yourself a nice big cake and have a couple slices eaten but make sure the happy birthday writing is still there and set it out so she can see it. Teens only care about themselves. My birthday was yesterday and I went through a similar thing. So I know the feeling.......Once again happy birthday........ Next time forget her birthday......Joking.

You said it was OK and now you are saying she is inconsiderate.
I agree that it would have been nice if she had called, but at 15, they are thinking of themselves and their friends. She was probably having a great time and didn't think of calling.
I'm not excusing, just explaining. I think you need to get over this one - maybe she'll give you a nice Happy Birthday hug when you see her.
Happy Birthday!

Dont worry about it shes a teenager (trust me i know i am one!!!) To most of us b-days arnt realy big deals sept fer when its sweet 16 and in her eyes she probably not going to consider it as being inconsiderate so what ever you do dont make a big deal about it. She might be mad at you for some unexplainable reason it happens alot and we have no clue why. Just try to see both sides of the story that way you might be able to avoid a big blowup argument we teens hate it as much as you guys do.

She went and hanged out with her friends. Mom is in the background, forgotten until she comes home. Yep, typical teenager. Just drop a hint about your birthday and see what kind of reaction you get. Who knows? Maybe there was a valid reason she didn't call.

Their brains & emotions are all over the place at this age. If they're not already rude/distant which they start to do at this age.
I would not be upset/alarmed she will start to do this more & more.
THE KEY: is give her the space/distant that they need. Think like this is it in your best interest to try talk to a drunk or do you wait til they more normal state. Same idea here. The state is a lot longer in this case.
By 23 years old their brain truly fully done. If you get this it will save you hours/days what should I do??? Less is more here, trust me!!!

She is 15 years old--She should have called you and wish you a happy birthday. After all you gave her life. It was very inconsiderate. Hopefully when she sees you, she will give you a hug, and wish you happy belated birthday. If not, let her know what she did because it was downright inappropriate.

Since you do have a good relationship, but she didn't call you to wish you a happy birthday... I'd be concerned about whether or not she's ok... call her & make sure she's ok, then she can wish you a happy birthday.

Ya teens can get wrapped up in their lives to even notice others at times. I would be very hurt on my B-day if no one wished me a happy b-day.Especially my child if i had one. But anyway I'm sure she didnt mean to hurt you and....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
