I Have a Question

whats the best way to deal with these yearly phone calls? my birthday is coming up and every yr i get calls from siblings that will only call me once a yr, my twin sister dont do that but my brothers do, ive told my brother once i wouldnt mind getting called more often and he said he would but never did, I do try to email or facebook them between their birthdays but they rarely will write back including my nieces, i have nieces that are teenagers and i feel like theyre strangers,if i facebook or email them they wont write back, the only time i hear from them is on my birthday too. i resent it cause i feel like they feel like its some obligation and not cause they want to talk. ive taken off on my birthday before so as to miss those calls but then they just call the next day. i thought of taking my phone off the hook as well. it makes me feel bad cause the rest of the yr when im going thru a hard time cause of being out of work i dont hear from them at all when i couldve used their help or someone to talk to. i have a half sister that will call my twin all the time but wont call me, i have cousins that im lucky if they email me, i heard thats what my aunt and uncle are going to do tomorrow. some people i dont hear from at all. any suggestions? it ruins my birthday when i feel like people are calling when they dont really want to.

When is your birthday? Maybe they don't realize how lonely you are because they are busy with their own lives. Don't blame your nieces, they only behave the way they were raised by their parents.
