It's like you don't exist but when it's your wifes b-day they don't forget and neither do your parents (maybe because they care!) Should I tell them something or tell them f#@k off!

I know the feeling. My in-laws and I don't get along at all. I haven't spoke to them or anything for 2 years. They treat me like a piece of **** and I don't care because I just go on with my life. They are the ones who are going to regret it. Email me if you want to talk about it ok.

Depends on how old you are. When you are young it is a hurtful experience to be forgotten. The older you get the less one cares. My Mother-in-law would say to me a month later, Oh wasn't it your B/day last month. I would say yah it was and that is all. Then when her sons birthday was, she would send him a card and some money. In the olden days our folks never remembered birthdays, except to say it's your birthday today. No cake or nothing. Gifts were't even considered. The main thing is that YOUR parents remember YOUR birthday. You shouldn't excpect your in-laws to give you a gift or celebrate YOUR birthday. You are not their Kid.

How long have you been married? Is this a continual thing?
It could be an intentional slight, or an oversight. Suck it up, don't say anything, but be sure to remember each of their birthdays. If you and your wife give a joint gift - be sure to make a personal call to them in the morning.

You should pick your fights...this is not a big issue. Apparently, you feel insecure in your relationship with the in-laws and you shouldn't. Just act like it didn't matter and don't expect it in the future. They will either come around or you'll get use to their not acknowledging your birthday. Hey...forgetaboutit! Save your worry for a "biggie".....

Dont stress over it. It happens. Our anniversary was forgotten. It's a birthday...they didn't give birth to her. Give them a break. It's NOTHING to go all hog wild on and start a fight. Just remind them that it was her birthday and then drop it.

Well i know how you fell pretty mad and sad. Dont tell them !!! IF they found out you will make them feel really bad. They will found out one day and they will give something good. Just celebrate with your family and have fun without them .

Remind them that they missed it. Make them feel guilty. Tell them in front of other people as well. Or call them and tell them that they missed it and dont ever send them gifts or cards either since you arent important to them.

Yeah...go get 'em tiger. After all, they owe you. Who do they think they are, not giving you something for nothing?? It's no wonder they don't like your selfish a$$. I'm sure they know their daughter could have done better!

Thank them for striving to keep you young. You really appreciate that. They couldn't have given you a better present.
