You first have an obligation to your son to teach him how to be a man!  You are not raising a child.

I would have a talk with your ex-husband who apparently has figured out how to treat a woman and have him talk with your son.  But most importantly, it has to come from you that you are special also and deserve recognition.  So many women will tolerate this and it is not acceptable. 

I would also have a serious talk with your current husband about his job as a husband, friend, lover.... but also his obligation as a role model to your son as he is the man in the house and he should have done something, made a card, cooked you diner, did the dishes and in front of your son, explained why...  *Lets do the dishes for Mom because it is her day!* 

I feel very strongly that raising a boy to be a man in these times is very hard, respect, love, tenderness, concern, compassion, understanding, kindness.... these are all things not being taught to our young boys. 

Many, many times I will walk into a store and a young man will walk in right in front of me and not hold the door.  I always follow the young man in and make mention of the fact that he should hold the door for a lady, children, or the elderly.  Yes, sometimes they take offense to this but I do not care.  Someone has to enlighten them.

Good luck to you Mom, and do not forget to call that ex-husband on Father's Day!

Finally have my 14 year old trained - but he had to go without birthday presents or Christmas presents from me last year before the light would dawn.  No amount of preaching about my feelings, lectures about reciprocating good wishes (even IF one has no money to shop for gifts - a phone call or card will NOT bankrupt anyone!!!!), or anger could get through to him.  No amount of pointing out people he knows who whine that "nobody remembers their special day" that do nothing for others on their day seemed to matter.  But the golden rule did - and he realized that he DOES want to receive something from ME, so I better receive something from HIM.

His 31 year old sibling cannot and will not see the light, and continues to moan that nobody cares on x-mas or birthday; forgetting all the years that presents were received and were not even acknowledged, much less any gratitude expressed or reciprocated.  Guess that person is doomed to a lifetime of lonely special days.

OP, your husband sounds like an entitled, lazy turd.  Its not your job to be his secretary, or remind him he has a mother.  Good grief, if he can't remember THAT on his OWN, he deserves whatever the fallout will be.  I sincerely hope on his next birthday she "forgets" him in return.  As for father's day - ask him why hasn't he reminded you to call your dad, and why hasn't he gone shopping for a present for your dad for YOU?  Maybe then he'll see how stupid and ridiculous that is.
