My parents forgot my birthday...
My birthday was June 30th. It was my 16th birthday. I don't know why they forgot my birthday.. they've never forgotten anything of mine before. There wasn't anything going on around that time.. I don't know what the problem is! I am not a bad girl.. my GPA is a 3.85 and I'm always doing chores. Why did they forget? Should I say something? Because every time I tell them they did something wrong, even if it was that they didn't put on their seatbelt, I'm grounded for 2 weeks, and I'm not even exaggerating.
Its been almost 3 weeks since my birthday..

im sorry for you but what i say is i think you should tell them i mean they will feel bad they forgot your birthday? that is not kool they raised you they should know your birthday you hould tell them that is my advice

just tell your parents they forgot to tell you happy birthday and ask for some birthday money.
I doubt they will ground you for doing that.

omg
you wont believe this
but my birthday was june 30th and i was turning 16 also and my parents forgot my birthday also!
i was so mad. i told my mom i was like "thanks for forgetting my birthday" and she felt so bad!
she said sorry and promised that she wont ever forget it again. they pobably forgot because youre turning older and they hate that fact so they try to avoide it. or maybe like my mom said they work to much and have other things on their mind. dont take it personaly. they were probably busy. i know it was a bigg shock: it was for me too, to just wake up and have your parents talk to you like normal in the morning and not even one birthday cake or one present not even a kiss to say happy birthday. i know its hard. but theyre your parents. plus it was just once. my parents have forgotten my birthday since i turned 14! dont worry you'll be okay. just tell them let them know you're really dissapointed!

Well I have to agree with everyone that has given you advice. I have been through what you have. Last year EVERYONE forgot about my birthday, I felt bad about it, worse because I didn't have the voice to speak up and say anything ABOUT IT. Just talk to them, they might tell you what's going on in their heads, because at age 15-16 that's the most important year. Anyways just tell me how it turns out. I hope they listen to you. You deserve to speak out and be heard.

Tell them.
I'd be pissed if my parents forgot my birthday, so they have every right to know. And I wonder how/why they forgot. It's been the same for 16 years. It's not ever going to change.

Tell them. They were being irresponsible and rude. If you get grounded for telling them, then be grounded with pride. They need to be set straight and told they forgot your 16th birthday: one of the most important birthdays of your childhood. They were wrong, and telling them is the only thing left to do. I wonder if you waited 3 weeks to test them??
I'm so sorry!

That's horrible & I'm sorry to hear that. They're your parents. They can't just forget their child's birthday. They must just have been extremely busy. I'm not saying that there's any excuse to fix this though. Tell them. You definitely should not have waited 3 weeks to bring it up. Obviously, your birthday is a big deal & they should have at least wished you a happy birthday, even if you guys couldn't celebrate it. You have every right to mention it. You shouldn't get grounded. Just don't sound rude. Just explain how it hurt your feelings & you're a bit concerned.
-hope that helped!♥
