I feel kind of botherd and hurt that for my
Permalink Closed

birthday my older brother didn't buy me anything. In our family we always buy each other something, even a fricken card if we cant afford more. He did call me and wish me a happy one though. I have another brother that lives out of state and of course I dont ever expect anything from him other than a phone call.
I saw him for my moms birthday ( he only lives 15 minutes away) and he bought her something, (well of course, shes our mom!)
should I not care? am i being immature about it? I should just let it go huh?

I dont know if I should have posted this here or not. Now that I think about it, it sounds kind of weird to put my bro. under "dating and relationships",

Birthdays are so annoying. I would just let it go. It sucks but if you bring it up or anything it'll only make you look bad. Maybe keep it in mind for his next birthday.

I HATE when people don't get you presents on your birthday! It doesn't have to be anything special - a card will do, but there has to be something to acknowledge it, other than a call. Maybe it sounds selfish, but really, how hard is it to spend $5 on someone for their birthday? Birthdays are special.

That said, what are you going to do? Bitch that he didn't get you a present? It sounds so petty - even though I don't think it is. I guess I'd let it go but I'd be pissed and he wouldn't get jack on his next birthday. (But I'm kinda mean like that, so you might not want to take my advice.)

I know,.... its crossed my mind to not get him anything for his b-day in April, but if he has a dinner or something like that, I cant show up with nothing. And believe me, I act no different with him.
He just SUCKS!

Get him something you know he will hate.  Very passive-aggressive, but it can make you feel better in a mean way to know he is opening something he hates and has to act like he likes it.


I agree with Maddie and blubirde:  there's not much you can do to confront him without making yourself look bad even though HE'S the one that did wrong.  Sad, but true.

If you really want to go the passive agressive route - and believe me, I won't judge - just gush the next time you see him that you totally understand how busy he's been and you never expected him to get you anything because now that everyone's growing up it's too silly to be getting eachother presents for every birthday... He'll either be forced to recant, in order to protect his right to recieve presents, or you're off the hook for his birthday. (And if he doesn't object, there's no reason you can't change your mind about the no-presents policy next year, anyway).
