[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 687563, member: 19966"] I'm sorry you're so upset, Colleen. There have been so many years now, where my son has not acknowledged birthdays or Mother's Days. Honestly, if one put him on the spot, I don't even think he knows the exact DAY (he would get 'March' correct) of my birthday. In fact, this past birthday-March, he actually called me for something (ha! likely $) ON that day. I was patient, listening, thinking 'ahhh,maybe it's coming? the wish?'. Not so much. At the end of the convo, when it was pretty clear that the birthday thing was just not gonna happen, I was so tempted to say [I]'hey? do you know it's my birthday today, right now?'[/I] But, I did not. I thought 'what's the use?' Here again though, like I posted in TheWalrus's thread about 'can we ever just be done?', I said nothing and was fairly unsurprised and unfazed. Maybe I should've taken that opportunity to 'joggle' that part of his brain and said at least [B]something[/B] like [I]'you know what? it's my birthday and you haven't wished my a happy birthday in years...come on dude, wrong!' [/I]But, I didn't, I let it go. [I][/I] I don't think that he does this on purpose, I think he is just clueless right now, of coming OUT of himself, and thinking of others. Happy Mother's Day to you! :mothers_day: [/QUOTE]
