My husband has such a demanding career, and neither one of us places major emphasis on birthdays or holidays ( every night is a holiday when we hold each other at night). I would not be angry, just tell him youwould like it very much if he paid the electric bill this month, or did something nice like watch the kids. Spell it out for him what you want and he will more than likely do it. I dont' expect my husband to remember things like that, as long as when I remind him he does something about it, we are both happy.

People often said it's the thought that counts but i see no thoughtfulness here.
No time its not an excuse. He could have print something from the computer which would takes less than 1 minute and have it sign by the kids. After all, you're not asking much ... just to be thought of :)

In the beginning of our relationship (7 months in) my now-fiance didn't get me anything for my birthday. I was pissed!! I spend almost $200 on his birthday present the month before and he couldn't even do the same for me.
He said he was broke at the time but that was bullshit because he was out partying with friends the weekend before.
He's been making it up to me ever since, though.

My husband does not get me cards but he's never done so and I accepted that when we were dating so it's perfectly ok now that we're married. He's not a sentimental person. He does tons of nice things for me on my birthday but the thought of a card never crosses his mind. He doesn't buy cards for anyone.
My children make me cards but not because he reminds them. It's something they do on their own because of the time I've spent with them nurturing them.
So unless he has made some drastic changes in your relationship - I would say it's no big deal.

Remind the lazy bum that he is a husband and a father. It is only respectful to remember your birthday and his job to show his boys the right thing to do. It is not all about him any more, he has responsiblities towards his family. Put a stop to this now while they are young. My girlfriend has a husband like this and now that the kids are grown and are fathers themselves, their wives are going through the same problems. Stop the selfish cycle NOW!!!

Id be a little disappointed, one of the things that we do in my culture is to give others gifts on our birthdays to celebrate our life on earth and the people around us. Nothing extravagant, a little something, for children its the significant people in their lives, these days it would be god parents, a mentor/relative. I've made cupcakes and taken them to the office. I understand what you're saying though, have you talked to him about how you feel? Men need reminders CONSTANTLY, I've never understood that one either but thats just how it is. It does work...OBTW Happy Belated Birthday! Just saw the additional comment you added, celebrate being a loving, caring, beautiful woman, good for you that you are teaching your children to love, you rock!

I would be hurt that he had "forgotten". It only takes a few minutes to get a card for someone - even a rubbish one with "Happy Birthday, Love etc x" inside is better than nothing.

No, I wouldn't be mad....As long as he acknowledge and didn't forget than to me thats what counts...So men are just not that mushy or emotional...It doesn't mean that they don't care or love you....I think maybe you should let him know that something like that you would have liked and appreciated...Maybe he doesn't know or realize it.... I know it may be alittle disturbing considering how we all go out for them on their birthdays but don't be mad...You still have your health and your beautiful kids....HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! from your yahoo friend, lol

He is not you. Tell him how you feel. He won't know unless you tell him. Did he tell you Happy Birthday? Did he get you anything?
Your children are old enough to make their own things for you. I have a 7 yr old who always draws a picture for me (no special day)

Yes you have a right to be mad, at least for the day. It was thoughtless of him to not acknowledge it with at least a card. My husband hardly ever remembers to give me cards and I get very upset myself.
Good Luck
