There have always been people in the world who forget wish their partners "Happy Birthday" on their special day. Sometimes it's a matter of control or wanting to remain the center of attention, and sometimes it's a sign of severe indifference in the relationship.

But how long are we going to let this go on for? How many birthdays do we allow to go by before we break up with them?

TikToker @princess_per did not receive birthday wishes or any sort of gift from her husband in the past two years.

So after one of her friends sent her roses for her birthday, the TikToker decided to pull a prank.

"One of my amazing friends sent me roses today. I took out the card from her and told [my husband] 'Thank you for the roses.'"
"I told him they said, 'I love you.'"
"He said, 'I bet someone did it for me.' Uh... No one does that."
"He forgot my birthday last year, too. As the mom, we put together a dinner and bake the cake. When it's my birthday, I'm always curious if he will take that initiative."
"He said, 'I got you something way cooler than that [roses].' AKA: He's about to go back to town to find something."

It's unfortunately so common for moms to remember everyone's birthdays, holidays, and special occasions, and not have anyone else reciprocate the behavior for them, even their life partners.

TikTok was furious on this mom's behalf for how she was being treated. Not only was she not being shown the appreciation she deserved, but her husband couldn't even own up to his mistake.

Why does this have to be such a common thing? If you love someone, wouldn't you want them to feel recognized, appreciated, and loved? Because after all, birthdays are about celebrating that a loved one was born—without their birthday, they couldn't grace us with their presence.

We could all take a little more time to honor each other's birthdays.

Within our communities, it's important to make everyone feel welcome and included, and sometimes that means making changes so that everyone can afford to be included. But sometimes changes are made simply because someone with the power to change it doesn't want to do something.

The question is whether changes are being made for inclusivity or convenience.

TikToker Kae, or @lolxdlolxdlolxd23455 on the platform, worked at Walmart for more than six months and ultimately was fired because he'd accidentally logged his PTO time incorrectly and also requested multiple days off,—but he'd intended to quit anyway given his unpleasant time working there.
