birthday


Question Posted Thursday January 26 2006, 3:17 pm

ok so sorry this is sorta long. well i came downstairs today and my mom is sitting at the computer looking at flights and she goes, "ok so there is this mothers weekend thing at ur sisters college, but its the weekend of your birthday." (she was asking me what i thought, but ovbiously she was already looking at flights so she wanted to go there.) so i told her it was fine whatever, to go. then i just walked away. then i hear her quickly call my sister and say, "shes fine, im coming." i am so mad. not only is it my bday its my sweet 16. its like she likes my sister better and cares nothing about my birthday. would anyone else be offended/upset if this happened? i just dont know what to do. i feel like crap.

tell her that you only said it was ok because you were upset. say that it's really important to you that she's there on your birthday especially cuz its ur sweet 16. doesn't she remember how important that birthday iz? good luckk

yow,
no i would absoulutely feel the same way,
what your mom is doing is wrong,
she is being selfish and un-fair.
just bc you said its ok dosnt mean its ok,
you should tell her that.
if that dosnt work, then ill try to help more,
good luck;

well i know how important a birthday is and especcially 16th i would feel upset as well just ask your mum if it would be ok if she could leave maybe ona later date like the day after your birthday or maybe at a different time on your birthday because you would really like her to be there for you

You shouldn't of lied to your mom. You should of told her the truth even though she really wanted to go. It's not like she is going to forget about your birthday, it's just one day and she probablly doesn't see your sister as much. I'm not sure, but I understand why you're hurt. It's not that she loves your sister more, I'm sure she loves you both very much. You're still going to get your presents and stuff and spend time with her. But, you never know.. she might actually be throwing you a surprise party?? You never know. Just be happy and it's just a one day thing. You will still celebrate your birthday. Btw, happy early birthday.

You told her it was fine. She believed you. If you didn't feel that way you should have been honest about it. So, honestly you shouldn't be offended.

You now need to tell her that you will miss her being there on your birthday. Even though you said it was okay for her to be gone. Make plans to do something special when she gets back.

I don't think you are right in thinking she likes your sister more than she likes you. The mothers weekend just happened to fall at the wrong time. Had you had a problem with it she probably wouldn't have gone. She had obviously told your sister just that in an earlier conversation.

Make those plans to do something fun when mom gets back. I'm sure that will make you feel a lot better. :)
