Not respecting my wishes

I'm not sure what to do.

My birthday is tomorrow. I have made it as clear as I possibly can. I do not want any party, presents, or even happy birthday wishes. Nobody listens, not even my own (adult) children. I have to take a vacation from work because they do not respect my wishes as well.

I'm to a point, I will have to go for a one day road trip.

@courageouspanda2006 I just realised what you said, I'm sorry about the wishes part 🙁 I didn't read that clearly.

You are not alone ... I too have taken the day and did my own things   went on a day trip etc.   

When people do NOT listen and buying things IT  is FOR them ... IMO ...not you.

my spouse KNOWS how i feel but brought home roses.  NOT for me...... but to say "i Bought these"  and he checked a box of what a good spouse he is.   If asked he can claim he bought roses ....i guess he got some "AHHH i wish my hubby would from his co-workers"     

 I refused to play along put them in water threw them out in few days let him  walk around like he did good.
