I live in a 6 member (me, brother,sister, grandmother, mother, and father(step-f but is my dad) the rest of the family is 8 hrs away from us. But on my birthday my biological father (who's not my Dad like my stepfather is honestly) and my step mother along with my other grandmother (biodad's mom). Forgot to call me on my birthday (I'm one of her only blood related grandkids [the other being my siblings], which is important to them but I could care less about bloodrelations) and they called me the next day apologizing about it. I'd turned 16. So I can understand where you're coming from and that feeling of pettiness is something I've felt before. It's alright to feel that way, it is the day you were born, the day you entered this world. Although your family is grieving it is understandable that they're going to stay solemn. I wouldn't expect them to be in a celebrating mood. But look at it this way. You have many more birthdays ahead of you, and your grandmother-in-law died today. There is no tomorrow for her. But if not today. then you can celebrate your b-day tomorrow. No harm done. It kind of sucks, but its a small price to pay in the end. I wish you a happy birthday though!(⌒▽⌒)
I don't know whether this will cheer you up or not., but..
Happy birthday! :)
Yeah I had to go through that too, a friend of my parents died so they went to his funeral, on my birthday they told me that it was impolite to think about myself in this kind of situation, it hurts but just deal with it and celebrate another day, things happen we can't do anything about it, happy birthday anyways
Thank you, I felt a lot better after writing my post, but I feel even better after reading your comments. Thank you, really.
Happy Birthday! That's sad to hear that, but here's some pixel cakes
It was my birthday today. I am now 22. There was a burial today ... The grand mother of my step brother (the mother of my mother's ex husband) , so yeah the day was not so great. But like, I expected at least a cake or something, i mean I understand that my step brother was not here and all but like my parents and my other siblings did nothing ... Like at all. I didn't want presents but at least a cake or something that made today a little bit special, just a card would have made my day ... So yeah I am a little bit sad but I don't want to say it to my family because I feel like I am selfish for thinking that, I should be grateful that the are alive and healthy... But I just needed to express myself in a place where nobody know me. If you read that sorry for my pettiness and for making you lose your time (￣∇￣") but it's my birthday so forgive me ?
