Forgetting Birthdays Again

Well, the stepkids didn't acknowledge their baby sister's birthday last week. Was I surprised? No.

I also wasn't surprised my own mother didn't either. She's managed to forget every child's birthday this year (three so far). When you're not the favorite, that tends to happen more often than not. Yes, I come from a highly dysfunctional family. Keeping my own from becoming dysfunctional is why I keep my distance from most of them.
