Would you be upset/annoyed if your child’s nan didn’t wish them happy birthday!

We invited my partners mum over for my sons birthday party on Saturday she came and was ok didn’t make much conversation she never does we have our differences and issues due to her being a awful nan! But we still try and include her. It was my sons 1st birthday on Wednesday she didn’t text or call me or my partner to wish him happy birthday I feel so angry am I overreacting???

I'd probably be more disappointed than anything. It'd make me want to keep my distance. It sounds like she's just not that interested in being a grandparent. That's sad but it's her loss! Your child will never know the difference and hopefully has lots of other adults to shower him with love.

Oh absolutely he has all my family who absolutely adore him! And he’s 1 so won’t even notice 😅 but I feel very very disappointed as she’s had lots of chances I would prefer her to not even be in our lives tbh she’s toxic my partner says he’s used to her behaving like this but why should I have to put up with it?

My mom didnt call, text or send a card for her first grandchilds birthday She hasn’t been bothered with him at all. Breaks my heart but she’ll look after and attend her friends kids partys and they call her nanny. My partners mom is no better, basically chose her new partner over the rest of her family. You have every right to be angry. Don’t put up with it

Tbf my dad didn't call either. Really its her loss more than anyone's. Maybe she's clueless and thinks the party was his birthday and she forgot that his birthday was a few days later, but that's not great either.
