My in-laws hate me. My birthday is tomorrow. This is the fourth year in a row that they have sent a birthday card for my husband on my birthday. I have been married 16 years. Happy birthday to me. BTW, is wine something on the carbo-loading list?

Wow. They do hate you. Sorry, that sucks. I believe wine is on the carbo-loading list, along with chocolate.

They must not "hate" you, if they remember to send a card to your DH on your birthday. Call them up and thank them for the card!

You're a born diplomat!
I should. A few years ago, my MIL sent a check that said, "This is for DH only, not for Jodi"... I sh!t you not.
I don't think my in-laws hate me, but I have never gotten a birthday card from them for 30 years.
Hope you have a Happy Birthday tomorrow!

OMG, that is beyond the pale!
On my wedding day my MIL said to my mom, about me, "she's a really strong woman." Translation: "damn, my son is marrying someone I can't push around." (not that she doesn't try) My mom was pretty much all "yeah, she's always been a stubborn PITA."

I don't even get how that works, assuming DH doesn't share your birthday, approximately. Is he supposed to hang on to it till his birthday comes? Anyway, happy birthday Jodi, on behalf of RA.

You can do the same to them twice every year...

Happy Birthday Jodi!
Let us know when DH's BD is and someone will wish you a happy birthday then, too.
His BD is in February...
Could be worse! I've been with my husband for 33 years, married 28 years and have never rec'd a card, gift
or even Happy Birthday wish from the in-laws.
While FIL was married for 15 years to wife #2 (hubby's mother died when he was a child) I didn't receive
a Christmas gift for those 15 years.
I don't think they hate me. I just think they don't care! LOL
Happy b'day!
I would prefer not to receive anything... I would be happy to not ever deal with these people ever, but they do these little digs all the time. My FIL called me son a r*tard once (he has autism). He is just an arse... I am trying not to care about this, but it's just another way they dig at me. They know that it hurts, so they do it.

My son (and my sister's son and my brother) is also on the spectrum. Anyone who would use that term in reference to him would be cut out of his life 100% for good -- family, or otherwise. Your husband needs to grow a pair. They are clearly reprehensible wastes of skin.
