Not only did I forget her birthday, now I jumped at her for asking me the same question several times already. She just came in nearly in tears apologizing.
I am at a loss of what to do or how to comfort her.
You are correct, I am utter fail. Pardon me whilst I go sink deeper into the pit of despair.
I'm a fucking failure piece of shit asshole.
Eyyyy, shut up and knock that shit off.
Get off the damn computer and go over by her with your fox-eared hat in your hands, give her a hug, explain to her that you are a fucking idiot and forgot her birthday and that you just bugged out for a second because reasons.
She's your mother, she will forgive you, but don't be sitting here pitying yourself over this shit, set it right.
Make her dinner or something, or take her out to a movie or... I dunno, whatever she likes.
I mean, didn't you recently buy her a car or something? That kinda negates the ability for one to bitch about lack of gift, because it's a fucking car. But maybe she wanted you to acknowledge it was her birthday, I dunno.
I don't personally give a shit if people forget my birthday, it's been happening for years anyway. I took the date off my Facebook a few years back to see who would remember and my own god damn siblings and mother didn't remember so I've stopped celebrating. My daughter isn't even aware I have a birthday, she just thinks I've existed all this time or something, and my husband can't forget it because I'd stab him. But anyway, that's a tangent.
No wallowing in your despair, go take care of your moms, yo.
