Would you be miffed if...
Your in-laws, who know when your birthday is, ignored it? Especially a kind of "milestone" birthday like 30?
I didn't even get a happy birthday call or any acknowledgment this year at all. H says his parents aren't any good at birthdays. I disagree. While they may not be "good" at them, they usually do recognize them. They tried to have a dinner for their middle son but he was too hungover to show up!
I know I'm probably overreacting, but birthdays were always important to our family and I always make a big deal out of others' birthdays. I also have just been feeling a little, I don't know, shunned (?) lately. I guess since I haven't produced grandkids for them I'm not worthy anymore

Re: Would you be miffed if...
In our case I would be shocked if MIL remembered my birthday at all. She hasn't even called H on his birthday for the last 2 years and before that she only called if I called to remind her it was his birthday.
I'm sorry, girl.
My MIL always calls on my birthday, but my SIL doesn't. I think she has in the past, but she didn't this year--she didn't call DH either. He's her only sibling and no phone call, no text, nothing. Some people just aren't as considerate/thoughtful as they should be, IMO.
I don't even have my BILs' phone numbers. I'll happily post to FB and they might post to mine, but we aren't close, so that doesn't bother me. MIL used to recognize the day, at least. I'm not asking for loot, just recognition.
I did have a kickass birthday this year, and realized that for the first time in my life, I have nice friends. Friends that actually care and are kind to me and supportive of me. I've never really had that until now. So, I am trying to focus on that but MIL is family!
