Re: Does anyone else feel this way?
Everyone else in our family travels to the others for their birthdays. Our little fam does not warrant a trip. We do not live any farther than the rest. They send cards and such SOMETIMES, but no one makes an effort to take any of us out to eat, or invite us to their place for dinner, etc. like they do for each other. Not a big deal or anything I'm crying into my rootbeer over but still noticeable. I often wonder why this is like this - did they sign up on roster sometime back in the 70's when I was absent one day?

P.S. Now my mother does make the trip to see the kids in their birthday month and me in mine, but not the rest of the family. Shoot my Dad even invites my nephew-in-law over for dinner on the N-I-L's (this would be his grandson-in-law) birthday, but not me on mine - weird!! We are often left off the invitation lists to these seemingly private bashes. And, my Dad and I are very close in all other respects. Just a strange phenom!
No, I haven't invited them to my house for our events because I didn't want to be seen as expecting a gift. Maybe I'm missing some social cue??????? Has my deodorant failed me??? Dunno!
