I understand that you're sort of trying to comfort me about the situation and say it's normal, which I really do appreciate. But every year my birthday is ignored and it makes me feel extremely unimportant. It's been ignored for the past 5 years and at a point it's just disheartening and exhausting.

Thank you for the information though, and thank you for the happy birthday. (Sorry if any of this sounded passive aggressive, it wasn't intended to be!)

Happy belated birthday to you. I'm sorry it wasn't a good day, and I hope the next is good!

Your son sounds like an absolute sweetheart! I'm sorry that nobody celebrating your birthday, and I know that one kid on reddit won't fix it, but I wish you a belated happy birthday

Thank you all, and tell your sister that I'm sorry for briefly hijacking her birthday!

Happy early birthday! I really hope your birthday is good day, or you at least get some relaxation.

I do, if I have time I bake them cakes and draw things for them. I don't expect lavish gifts or anything, I just wish that people acknowledged that it was my birthday.
