Being the oldest
 

Ya this year has been quite the eye opener

my 18th birthday
a bit of a deal

most of my family didn't get me gifts

Christmas
most of my family didn't get me gifts


I'm not a selfish girl. but I like to be shown some appreciation
especially since it's hard. I'm the oldest and the only for a while

and I can't stand seeing my cousins that are 4 years younger then me and all related (there's a group of 4 that are all siblings) get so much crap when they actually don't think of us as their actual family
which is crap
they just don't remember when they were very young and everything we did for them

but yet everyone goes out of their ways for them
because they had a "hard childhood"
they were very little then and don't remember anything and have made out with an awesome life and have more than everything a kid could ask for
but everyone forgets that I'm STUCK in the bad childhood. I still live with the psycho mom.


ok I'm not asking for attention
as I hate attention
I'm just asking for a "happy birthday" phone call
or maybe some cake and ice cream with my family that I always put first?

I'm sorry.... Happy Be- Lated Birthday...son't worry it gets better believe it or not as you get older..

Sorry you're having a hard time. Wish they could see you as you are and show their appreciation. It does get better with time...so don't dwell on it.

Happy belated birthday! Hang in there sweetie...

So sorry that you do not have a more caring family. There are lots of moms on here. We could throw you an on-line belated party. We all care!!!!!:cake: :1luvu:

Happy be-lated birthday. My birthday is today. I totally understand what you mean. You deserve some sort of acknowledgement, plus 18 is a big one, you are officially an adult. It also has to be so hard to watch everyone dout on the younger ones like you don't exist. I will admit it's more fun to buy toys for youngsters, but there is no reason you should get left out. I'm sorry that happened. Again happy B-day.

Hope you have GREAT day!!!!

From England a big hug and Happy Birthday Sara:) xxxxxxx

I dont care how old one get's, I honestly feel that deep down inside each one of us wants to feel special and loved on their own Birthday. It's never a selfish feeling really i dont' think. I mean really? What's wrong with wanting to feel special?

I am sorry you went through this. I hope there have been days since your Birthday that you've had a moment to feel special and loved.

Happy Belated Birthday!! ;)

Happy belated Birthday Sara!
I'm 52 and I STILL like to be treated special on my birthday... so I don't think you're at all out of line.
HUGS

aww you guys are so sweet
I wasn't asking for a ton of sympathy
just voicing the fact that this was ridiculous


and I LOVE watching the little ones open gifts
as some might have realized from past posts I LOOVE kids very much

thanks everyone
and you're all very special too!

Happy belated birthday!!!

Birthdays are such a big deal!! That's your day to shine, your day to be pampered and be told nice things, when people forget or don't make a big deal that's terrible on their part, so


:bday: :1luvu: :bday: :1luvu: :bday:


Happy Belated Birthday!!

Happy Birthday darlin!
 

Here's a party for you and we are all here to join in!!!! :bday: :cake: :yelrotflmao: :shade: :D :wavey: :1luvu: :bday:

I just saw this and HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY WISHES TO YOU sweetie - that does sound hurtful. You should talk to your family and tell them how you feel
