I like it to be acknowledged and I also like not to cook! We usually go out for birthday dinners and have cake and presents, usually nothing fancy. I don't really care about the presents, it's not my love language. This year I got an outdoor self contained water fountain and a mandarin orange tree in a pretty pot for outside. One year my entire immediate family forgot. Hubby was crazy busy working and going to school, older kids were teenagers. A couple of days later, my daughter looked at me with a shocked look on her face and started crying, "we forgot your birthday", kids ran out and bought cake, hubby came home with a diamond necklace, lol. Dd was so horrified. I didn't really care, they are pretty good to me all year, which I consider more important. Funny thing was, on my birthday I must have received 6 phone calls from my parents and siblings and it just didn't click with anyone. Happy birthday
