Is it possible that some people can be too busy to send birthday cards?
Of course it is, but usually they just forget. Even if they love you, if they aren't around you that often, it may happen. Time slips by, and it sucks sometimes and can make you feel a little crappy that people could forget, but just remember I am sure it has happened to you.
Reply:It can be possible. One thing that may happen is a lot of people are just too used to communicating by e-mail. People are paying bills online, shopping online etc.. So I believe actually writing a letter, sending a card, using snail mail all together is just something a lot of people are no longer accustomed to so they just don't.
Reply:yes better late or not at all!
Reply:I used to never forger cards. Now that I am older it's not that I'm to busy, I tend to forget. One thing that has helped is to join AmericanGreeting.com. It cost about $12 a year and you can send unlimited ecards for the year. You can sign up to get reminders a couples weeks in advance.
Reply:YES! When I bcame a mom, I kept finding cards, birthday x-mas etc, that were half written or bought and not written in at all. I was sooo annoyed with myself because those people will never even know I was at least thinking about them. I was just so busy learning how to balance a new baby in my life.


some people can just suddently find a lot on their plate they are dealing with. and some always have a lot on the plate.


Doesn't mean they do not care.
Reply:yes
Reply:Yes.. sending a birthday is not mandatory.. if you get one.. it's a nice gesture.. but people do forget..people have too much going on.. shouldnt expect one every time
Reply:It is possible





We are human
Reply:Too busy? Nah. Too distracted? Sure.





You have time for the things that are important to you.
Reply:Yes. And many people don't bother with them anymore. They send a greeting on the net, or nothing.
Reply:Some people are very mindful of sending birthday cards, some people just don''t subscribe to it. I'm one of the latter.
Reply:No. It takes just a few minutes to buy one, sign it and mail it.
Reply:yes, or to many things on there mind and they forget. i know i dont always remember birthdays on time, and some i miss alltogether. and i understand when someone forgets mine, or is to busy. lots of things on ppls minds, bdays can slip past!!!!
Reply:When they do send a card, the recipient complains that it's not the right kind of card, or it's too cheap.





That's why people have simply given up sending cards.
Reply:Yes... or too disorganized. Even depression can stop someone from sending cards... depression can affect many aspects of a person's life.





Have a polite day!
Reply:it happens all the time....my bday is often forgotten by friends and family, but I do that they are all very busy, but I know even if they do not tell me that they are glad I was born and that they love me
Reply:Try working a 70 hour a week job that is 50 minutes away from your house (one way), having 2 kids and keeping a house running, while going to school. I barely had time to sleep (functioned on about 3 hours of sleep a day) and had no time for TV, etc. I finally had to quit the job because I had no time for anything important. Birthday cards were just something I didn't have time to think about, especially when I didn't have time for my own immediate family or keeping up with chores.





So, yes, it is very possible to be too busy to send out birthday cards.
Reply:Yeah it is but a good way around it is to send an E Card.
Reply:Get real. It's a weak excuse. Don't have the time....phwahaha
Reply:I'm sorry, but Maggie's pretty much got it right there. It isn't really that you get so busy you don't have the 5 minutes to write it out and the minute to drop it in the box on the way to work. It's that your brain is so full of everything else that must be done right now that you forget little things like eating meals, doing laundry, and- yes- reminding your loved ones that you care about them.





That's part of why e-cards are so popular. Because when you've been reminding yourself for a week to pick up and send a card (and then been forgetting it all week) you still may look at your calendar and go "Aiii! This has just moved into my 'must be done now' category."
Reply:ive never been that busy but to be fair i dont know about others commitment and work schedule. i mean i am a committed nurse and i have my hectic days but for my good friends, i'll always remember to send a bd card - may be on time, may be belated.





but dont blame that person who claimed to have been too busy to send the card. give the benefit of doubt but if in other aspects, that person fails to deliver the sense of importance of u, then u kinda know where u stand.
