And do you think his dad called him to wish him happy birthday?

Oh dear. I hope Nic didn't let that get him down. Some people are simply not good at remembering dates. Hopefully your delicious pasta sauce and love made everything ok!!

Happy Birthday Nic!

Alex's Bday was Sunday. She turned 14. I had to send her Dad a text 10pm at night to remind him to call. Do you think he sent a gift? A card? NOPE! He wouldn't have even called. Jerk! And we called his mom, not vice versa, but that's ok, she really spent a lot of money on Alex and we usually call her on Sundays.


So I know how you feel.

I was just thinking - his dad has never really been capable of really being a dad - so this is no surprise and you just have to sort of write him off for now. But the grandparents might have an excuse for being older and just not keeping track. They are so sweet to take him for the summer - so maybe you should call today to help share his birthday with them rather than be mad at them - I mean they have done all they can to support you and would probably be mortified if they knew they forgot. I would take the high road and call them and not get mad at them - plus that teaches Nic a lesson about people. I know I am not good at remembering dates - and it isn't because I don't care.

Well, yeah I'm not surprised with his dad at all, and I think Nicolas has just grown to accept that's he not a big part of his life.
