i've forgotten one father's day to tell my papi that i love him and appriciate him. i had lost count of the days since i was under a lot of stress at school to do three on average seven paged essays and to host a charity banquet. i know it's not a good excuse and i realized that night what day it was. i felt bad and made my papi breakfast and lunch before i went to school. my dad got sort of upset with me, but not because i forgot but because i was late to school that morning. he doesn't care about those sort of holidays and said that i show enough appriciation by getting good grades in school and by being a good daughter even though my mom and i don't always get along. (she thinks i'm to blame for anything, even when the kitchen is spotless, i'm too blame if she has a headache since i used windex instead of vinegar...)
p,s, i've never forgotten mother's day though, i usually make extra sure to remember that since my mom cares about that stuff.

Erm it is kind of the parents duty to look after their kids! They bring them into the world and are responsible for them until the kids become adults and can look after themselves. Why should one day of the year be special? Families should appreciate each other all year round.
But at the end of the day the parents do choose to have the children so why should they be constantly reminded of how much they do for them - half the time people just have kids so they wont be on their own when they are old and incapable

Sorry if this is happening to you. If it is any consoltation sometimes it is just lack of thought. I have actually been annoyed with my daughter over Mother's Day, not that she wasn't going to be good to me. She lives with her partner and his mum is on her own. I know my daughter's partner thinks the world of his mum but he wasn't really making a move about Mother's Day. He is so good in lots of ways and I told my daughter she should either be getting at him to organise something or perhaps she could choose the gift or something nice to do for him. Being a 21st century woman her answer was "She's his mum not mine". I know that's the truth but what happened to a little come and go between a couple? Just an example of how although he wasn't doing anything I know he loves his mum to bits. Hope that's the same with your family. Take care.

Don't ask me, I have the same problem with my eldest son and it hurts very much, but I am getting stronger, not letting it get to me too much. I t would not take a lot of effort to send a card once a year but he does not think it is important so what can you do????

not all children are like that. when children get to the teenage years many have different priorities due to their hormones flooding about. friends and their social life are often more important. they dont do it nastily its just the way it is but then many once they outgrow that stage and reach adulthood they realise how they behaved and start to appreciate their parents more.

well it's sort of a duty, when you think of it, cos they don't have a meeting in heaven and say, '' hey lets get some men and women on earth to have sex and bring us into that harsh bully-filled world.''
But still i guess they should appreciate you on mothers day and other days for that matter.

Because they are self centred, egocentrics who see nothing beyond their own needs.
A saying my dear old mum says "eaten bread is soon forgotten".
One day they too will be saying what you are saying today.
