Hey guys its 2 weeks from now but i can't get over of what i did due to my forgetfulness..
I am kinda busy this past 3 weeks because of my work and studies, so busy with my life to the point that i forgot to greet my mom in her birthday ...(i am so bad daughter.. grrrrrrrrrr...)
On my mom's birthday, i received hi-hello text message from her and without realizing that it is her birthday i just replied " hi ma, i am okey, how about you and pa?" then she replied " we are okey, take care always" according to my sister they are having celebration at that time when my mom sent me a text message.
I really don't know how to make up on her..i think sorry is not enough to what i did..
Have you experience this guys?

Ouch. I think I will cry if ever my son didn't greet me on my bday. It's gonna hurt a LOT. I mean, anyone else can forget, and it won't mean a thing to me, but not my son. I know that these things can happen esp when our childdren are grown ups and busy with their own lives,and tend to forget some trivial things already, but it would just hurt terribly.

yeah, i know it was big deal with my mom... we are 7 siblings, all grown up , some have their own families already and some has its busy working life and that includes me. We are living far away from her that is why calls and text messages are very important to her specially greetings coming from all of us on her special day...
I am just grateful that my mom is so understanding..actually i called her already, and after my explanation, she just laughed at me and said "it is okey".

Sometimes being so busy in so many things we tend to forget things and special happening in our life.They says that it is better be late than never.Try to make up things with her.Treat her and celebrate with her as post celebration for her birthday.Our moms always understand us cause they really love us.

Oh my gosh!!! You forgot your mom's birthday?!?! Oh my! That would have been heart-breaking for your mom!!!! Shucks!
I know that we are busy with our personal lives that we tend to forget other people who are also part of our lives, but it is pretty common to be forgetting dates most especially when the job doesn't require one person to pay attention to dates.
However, what you did 'child' is not forgivable by just a 'sorry'. Since you've been busy with you job, I think it's fair for you to treat your mom to something special.
I suggest you go to her, surprise her and bring a birthday cake! apologize the whole time and perhaps treat her to a spa or massage something. And create an alarm for the birthdays in your family so that you'd never forget. I have my family's birthday all alarm-set on my phone and email to remind me a day before, so I never forget.
You take care and don't do that again!
Have a great MyLot experience ahead!
