Cutting family off!!

Hello all!!
SO! Here goes. My mother and aunt who are twins turned 60 this year. Great for them! I'm happy they are still living and do not have really bad health problems and can enjoy all their wrinkles, back pain and memory losses.
Their birthday was yesterday, June 20th. My son's birthday is June 24th. He is having his party on the 23rd. My mother (his grandmother) has never missed a birthday and I am so grateful for that, but she also only sees him about two-three times a year because we live in different states. Sucks, but we have dealt with it and things have been fine.
This year they decide to do some week trip to celebrate this GREAT milestone, knowing full well when my son's birthday is. It's also in my state, but about 4 hours away give or take.
I am incredibly pissed off my mom is being so selfish and missing her only grandchild's birthday party because she is choosing too. She also goes to my aunt's grand kid's birthday parties every year and has never missed theirs. But it's OK to miss my son's birthday?
She also upset at me on mother's day by calling me out on FB saying I'm such a HORRIBLE DAUGHTER because I didn't send her flowers through mail because they would probably end up dying or a card that will just get forgotten about as time goes on. She also failed to mention I did call her to wish her a happy mother's day because I did not forget about her. But because I live in a different state than her and don't kiss her butt all the time, that makes me a bad daughter. She acts like she loves and cares about her grandson on FB, but in reality, she rarely calls to see how we are doing.
My aunt decides to get in my business and text me about why I didn't wish them a Happy Birthday. Oh, excuse me. I apologize if I don't acknowledge your day of birth when you choose to miss my son's 5th birthday. So I am pretty much done with both of them. I don't care for my family anyway and my mom has always been incredibly selfish and doesn't apologize for anything because she is never wrong. You can be blood for all I care, if you hurt me or my child, then I am done! It really is hard having to tell your almost 5 year old why grandma would rather spend time with her sister whom she lives next door to might I add, then come and see you on your special day.
Screw family sometimes.
So sorry for the rant, but I needed to get this all out. If you read it all, then you are awesome!! ;)

I didn't say those words exactly. He is very intelligent and knows grandma comes around this time. It's just hard knowing she is choosing not to see him.

There are a few of my family members I had to cut out of my life to. I know how you feel.
