If you must get it off your chest, then ask to talk with them and explain that you understand that he is taking care of the family, but you are disappointed that he will miss your birthday. But if you can hold it in, then just realize he is trying to do what is best for his family(you), and he is probably as sad as you are about missing your birthday!

Mention it. When there's a big move going on, a lot of things get forgotten - even birthdays. You could say to your Dad that because so much is going on, maybe he could celebrate your birthday with you a different day this year. Would it bother you a whole lot if you celebrated your birthday on June 1 instead of the 22nd of this month?

im sure they know theyre going to miss your birthday. and im also sure your dad didnt do this just to make you feel bad. if it really bothers you say something like "i know we wont be able to spend my birthday together but can you promise to call me." or something like that. which im sure he would do anyway. my husband is in the navy and has missed birthdays anniversaries and other important dates. not by choice but for his job. that kind of stuff happens a lot when youre a grown up and have a job and family to worry about. just remember that he does love you and he would probably rather spend your birthday with you than in a new city/state without you. happy early birthday!

You sound like a spoiled little brat. Your Dad needs a job to take care of his family you should not try to make him feel bad for that. I sure he already does feel bad that he will miss your b'day. Grow up and be a big girl about it you all can have a delayed B'day when you are together in Indiana.

How old are you because it seems like you want just their attention even though it is your birthday your parents have to work even if it means missing one important day in your life
this is something you are going to have to deal with because it may happen again in your life

Yes, it's hard enough leaving without having to deal with all that childishness (sorry).
Until you can start helping with the bills, your parents gotta make that money.
