Got my feelings hurt recently?

On Mothers Day, my daughter & her kids didn't remember me. No gift, no flowers, no card, no visit. They are buying their first house, and thinking about that, not other things, like holidays.In a couple of days, I am going to visit. Do you think I should point out that I have a birthday coming up?.I was kind of thinking about saying something like "My birthday is at the end of this month, you know. I am reminding you now, because it really hurt my feelings that nobody remembered me on Mothers Day."Should I say that, or just wait & hope she remembers me? She will be moving into her new house the week before my birthday, & I am afraid she will forget me again.She's my only surviving child. Aside from my husband, if I get a present at all, it would have to come from her.I am not mercinary, not looking for a huge gift. But, a little thing, just to show me that she remembered would mean a lot.What would you do?Yes, KT, I did call her on Mother's Day. She said that her BF was giving her new house numbers & some furniture for Mothers Day, & had fixed their dinner. She said "we would have come to see you, but you know...."Netta, having unresolved disappointment tires me out, too. I've been fighting the need to cry since Mother's Day. I am not asking a LOT. But a birthday is important. A little gift or a flower or something to say "I am glad you are here" means something to a person.Malcom, I am going to keep the kids at my house to keep them out from underfoot while she moves. Also, while she paints some rooms before moving.Got her a housewarming gift, have asked what else I can do.I am not selfish. I do a lot for my family. On one day, I wanted to have her say thank you. That is only human.
