my moms side of the family has pretty much ignored my birthday since i was like five. if anyone on that side made any acknolowdgement after that, it certainly got cut off when my parents divorced when I was 12. My dad's side is better about it since its small. Since my birthday is around thanksgiving, and we usually do thanksgiving at my aunts house now, thats kinda when they celebrate my birthday too. They know i got the shaft since my grandpa died a few years ago the day before my birthday, so they try to make up for it a bit. (the year my grandpa died they obviously couldnt do anything for my birthday because of that, but at the last minute they gave me a pumpkin pie with candles on it. it was a nice gesture considering how busy and upset they were with funeral planning, at least they didnt completely forget about me)
