Re: How would you feel if your sibling didnt call you for your birthday?
Not for an immediate family member, no.
They should totally call you.
I'd be upset too
Happy Birthday by the way!

This is what I thought too but now a days I know everything is through Facebook so maybe Im out of the loop or something. I expect happy birthdays from people that are not close to me through Facebook but not my brother. See, my sister called me but he didnt

Happy Birthday!
I think my sister texted me- my sil on the otherhand did a fb post- I found it impersonal and was a little hurt. So I agree with you.

I would expect a call or text instead of a fb shout out.
Happy Birthday

How would you feel if your sibling didnt call you for your birthday?
There is no right or wrong answer - it only matters how YOU feel. It depends on your own relationship and expectations.
If my brother didn't, I probably wouldn't even notice - but that doesn't and shouldn't take away how you feel (or dictate how you should feel), as it my own experience.
Happy belated birthday, by the way!

Re: How would you feel if your sibling didnt call you for your birthday?
yes i'd be upset. Especially one that i'm close with.
But i've come to realize that i remember everyone else's birthdays and no one ever remembers mine on their own.
so my siblings have forgotten my birthday a few times...
with technology these days... i feel like there is no reason to forget with all these reminders.

Re: How would you feel if your sibling didnt call you for your birthday?
My sister pulled that shit on me on my last birthday. Not even a FB mention. I was in a restaurant with DH and it was like 9:30 at night and I started crying because she hadn't called me. I went to the bathroom and he did what a good husband does...sends a text to my sister telling her she better call me.
(Side note: the year before this past birthday was my 30th...my grandpa died suddenly two days before my 30th birthday and we spent the day at a funeral home making arrangements...so for her to forget my birthday when she knew how hard it was for me was just straight-up twatty behavior).
She called and said she was working all day. Dummy didn't realize that I could see on her FB that she wasn't working and was just hanging with her friends all day.
And we were really close...but things have changed between us over the past year. It stinks.
But I digress. At least you got the FB 'happy birthday' message, though I'm like you...when it comes to those that are closest, you don't want something so general.
Hope you still had a great birthday, though!

Re: How would you feel if your sibling didnt call you for your birthday?
my father didn't call me on my birthday...it didn't hurt me nearly as much as it would if my sister didn't call. My sister, while we tortured each other as children is the only one who knows exactly what we went through as kids she understands me bc she understands how we were raised. We are close now...so yeah...if she didn't call that would hurt.

Re: How would you feel if your sibling didnt call you for your birthday?
It would bother me, but my brother and I have the type of relationship where we talk often...my husband on the other hand isn't bothered by that stuff...his sisters, who he is very close to, don't call for his birthday or mine, and he thinks its strange that it bothers me!

Happy Birthday
FB is totally fine..... be worried if there is no card, or facebook, or text.

Exactly this. I would actually find it odd if they did call me.

How would you feel if your sibling didnt call you for your birthday?
It would make me very upset to just get a Facebook mention from my siblings.
This was one of the first years my siblings didn't text/call me at midnight on my birthday! We have this silly tradition since all our birthdays are in the summer and we were usually camping for our birthdays (and we all shared one room in the back of the camper). When midnight rolled around for our birthdays, we would have a little "happy birthday" mentioning (everyone competed to say it first) and then went to sleep. This year I was pregnant and told them I'd be sleeping. They all called/messaged within the first half of the day. I expect at least a text from my siblings every year -- I usually see them on my birthday though!!!!!

Re: How would you feel if your sibling didnt call you for your birthday?
nope not problem at all.
Mine never calls tho I call him every year.
We are essentially super close. If I saw something on FB I'd smirk LOL Not that its not his thing or anything. Just not important to me.
No skin off my nose at all
