The second worst birthday I've had
2 years ago
I woke up this morning so happy, grateful that my aunt and uncle came to visit from Texas, my brother visiting from another state, I felt so much joy knowing that it was my birthday and turned 23.
But then my dad wanted me to help him, my uncle, and brother-in-law with building a shed. I thought I was a no big deal, just continuing building. Then when I went with my mother to get a cake, she wanted it all pink. I questioned myself why, then I didn't. Then my aunts came to drop off some food for the party, some of the desserts were also pink. I went with my sister to my older sister's house to get more tables, then once we came back, all the decorations was for my older sister's baby shower. Only my mother, brother, a couple of cousins, and some friends only told me happy birthday. No one else. And the only gift my dad and brother-in-law wanted to give me is some beer, which I don't drink.

Birthdays are pretty much meaningless after high school. Every year fewer and fewer people remember. That does suck though that everyone pretty much used you on your birthday to get their stuff done (building a shed, baby shower, etc.). They could have at least got another cake to go with the one for the shower.

That sounds awful dude - I agree with sunfire, they could have gotten you a second cake just for you. It sounds like they practically forgot your birthday, which isn't kind. You deserve better. I can relate to when it comes to people not remembering my birthday. If you wanna chat more let me know.
