My friends forgot my Son’s birthday 😢

I'm pregnant with my first now, and I'm the last of my friends. I only know one of friends daughters birthdays because it's same date as my anniversary with my partner so unless they post about it or its come up in conversation about a week before I wouldn't know either xxx

Try not to take it so personal, people have their own lives and a lot of things to keep up with; doesn’t mean that you and your son don’t matter to them. Just remind them. 😊

If they don't have kids of their own and it's your first, clearly they haven't got used to your child's birthday yet. I'm 33 and my dad still forgets my birthday every year. Stop taking things so personally and just enjoy your child's birthday yourself and forget about others, he's to young to care!

I have never wished any child a happy birthday other than my nieces and god kids, unless there is a post on fb. I definitely wouldn’t have text my friends to wish the child happy birthday. Just not in my radar to think to do that. I love my friends but just don’t have th say relationship with their children, I d on think that happens until they get a bit older. This is going to sound savage but I also think the child doesn’t even know or understand and I used to think “happy birthday” posts to babies or wishes were pointless 😂😑 maybe your friends think like this too I hope you had a lovely day with your son 🙂

Unless yall are super close daily communication or they are God parents , yea its not a norm really Now if they forgot YOUR bday throw the whole friend away lol You'll probably get messages like omg he's 2 now?!?!?!?!

Thank you all ladies!! I feel much better about the whole thing, you’re right it’s probably not a big deal to them and I’m not a social media person so I don’t post stuff like that on SM which may remind them. My friends who do have kids I always put their birthdays in my calendars and we send them gifts or message them to say happy birthday. I shouldn’t expect the same from others and I will probably stop doing that for others except our closest 🥰💖

Your friends are friends with you, not your son. Your son will make his own friends through the years who will celebrate him. Until then it’s your job to remind your friends of what is happening in your life like it’s your child’s birthday. How do you expect them to remember if you don’t tell them. His first birthday you reminded them by having a big party, so people were alerted and was able to celebrate with him. This year based on your statement you did nothing to remind them, you just set an expectation that they should just remember. Some people are just really bad with remembering birthdays and events. I’m great at remembering birthdays but I also know that’s unique to my personality and I don’t believe everyone should be like me. There’s an old saying, “a closed mouth doesn’t get fed” had you just nicely reminded them your friends I’m sure would’ve showered your son with love. Don’t internalize this or make it into something it is not.

I don't know any of my friends' kids' birthday. She tells me every year and vice versa, and then we say happy birthday. It's not personal, and I certainly do not expect anyone to remember my kids' birthday except the main family. We do, however, remember eachothers birthday.

I have my best friends two daughters birthday on my calendars and I still nearly forget every single year. Some of us just aren't that good at remembering these things. If I see a friend post on social media I will make sure I message them to wish a happy birthday but I do need reminders, my brain just doesn't function
