My son didn't remember my birthday

liney

If he didn't forget, he just didnt bother, then when his father returns he should have a serious talk with your son about keeping the women in is life happy, and the consequences of thoughtless behavior.

If momma aint happy, nobodys happy... and all that.

Nah - show him what you bought for YOURSELF with the money you would have spent on his birthday present.

Happy birthday to the mum of a 16 year old boy who's brain isn't working properly because of hormones ! Tell him because you love him very much you'll be sure to remember to remind him next year, and would he like you to remind him when it's Christmas as well.
Sons who forget mums' birthdays don't need a serious talking to, they need effective teasing so it all doesn't get too heavy for them. Bless.

Thank you all for your replies. You are all so kind. It's nice to know that he's not the only useless male. I don't think he forgot really as my husband sent him a text to remind him. He just didn't bother. I might not bother next time he wants a lift!

Well up to this point I was ready to add my tuppenceworth to the other comments about hormonal teens/boys being rubbish at remembering. Hmm, did your hubby send the text in advance of the day itself - if so I guess maybe your son put it off and then forgot. Or am I just being too kind?

I've got a 16 year old son too. He used to be lovely and kind and sweet and thoughtful.

Welcome to my nightmare! :eek:

Happy Birthday magic57

My stepson hasn't bothered to send his Dad a card, text message, or email on his birthday for the last two years :mad: He's almost 21, has a good job and often tells us how much money he has in the bank :eek: So there ain't no excuse for him. His Dad excuses him by saying that he's saving - I could've bought a house on the money that's been spent/wasted :rolleyes: on him over the years. Admittedly he's always been a mean kid. Hopefully your son's just going through a phase

Thanks, this made me laugh out loud. In fact I have read right through this thead and all your comments are so funny! I have been sitting here giggling to myself. My husband will be home tomorrow. I think 16 year old might have a bit of explaining to do! It should be interesting!

Thank you everyone you have really cheered me up.:A

Many happy returns. As the mother of 15, 17 and 19 yo boys, I'd say "don't take it personally!"

One Saturday, I heard the front door shut behind someone. No-one had said "goodbye". When it opened again 15 minutes later, I leaped out and asked DS2 where he'd been. "Out." "Where?" "Down the road." "Why?" He rolled his eyes and said "What day is it tomorrow?" It was mother's day, and he'd had his instructions from his dad.

But I think DS1 had acted on his own initiative, because there were two cards bought for me (I'm quite happy for them to share!)
