If your partner didn't get you a present from your baby for your birthday would you be upset?

Yes, the fact we get each other gifts from the fur babies too, I’d be like this doesn’t add up. Maybe he didn’t realise it’s something you do?!

Absolutely yes! But I would also be upset if my birthday wasn't made a big deal ingeneral from my partner. I love birthdays. They're so special to me, and I make such a big deal out of them for my partner, and I made my expectations very clear at the start of our relationship. He's more of an " it's just another day" kind of birthday person, but he absolutely makes the effort for me. He got me a card from my baby for my last birthday, and she was still just a bump at that point

@Sam I don’t think she was asking what others got. This might just make her feel worse by detailing exactly what you received?

I think men are just simple / one track minded. Is this your first baby/first event with baby? If so then it probably never even crossed his mind unfortunately! Agreed I would have liked something from baby. I would voice this and let him know it pissed you off but also say “a belated present would be nice” and give him chance to redeem himself xx

My next one I would be! My first birthday as a mummy, our LG was 10 days old and had only been home 2 days! I was surprised I even had a card from him this year with all that was going on x

Abso-f***in-lutely!! Just a small gesture to say the least, a bunch of flowers, a card. Im sorry you didnt get anything, id be gutted too if i woke up with nothing from baby girl :( Id deffo voice that ur disappointed and its a big birthday the first one as a mommy! Theres so much to celebrate

I would be gutted yes, but honestly men just don’t think (no offence to all men). My birthday is next month and my partner sent me money for something I’d asked for, he was at work at the time and text me saying it was sent and that he’d of course “still get me a card” & I replied and said “and one off the baby too” - they have to be told. He always gets me a card off my SD as well, but for his birthday I make a point of getting cards and presents that are off the kids. This year I also got a “happy birthday daddy vest” my baby was 4 weeks old, I’d had a c section and my partner was actually in hospital having an operation. I’d bought everything before the birth knowing I shouldn’t be driving, but still managed to go out and buy a cake etc. I know I won’t get that level of effort back, he doesn’t mean to be that way, he just genuinely doesn’t think 😂 he always comments how thoughtful I am. If I get a card specifically from the kids, I’ll be happy. I’ll buy my own vest 😆 x

No

No we've agreed until baby can be involved in choosing/scribbling it's an extra stress especially as I'm difficult to buy for as it is. The exception is mother's/father's day but most important is to communicate expectations

I was gutted I didn’t get a personalised card with pics on, like I got him for his birthday 😞

I don't expect anything from the baby for my birthday... in fact it passed in September and I deffo didn't get anything but didn't even think of it til now.

To be honest I’ve never thought of this. I’ve never received anything from my kids. I get Mother’s Day presents though of course from my partner
