Try 3 days after. Talk about getting overlooked...
But seriously, my biggest beef over the years was always that I would spend year after year watching all of my friends have these parties and celebrations but my birthday was always during the holiday break from school. Everyone was traveling so I couldn't have a party and there was never a treat day in class... Then in college we'd all go out for everyone's birthday - except mine cause we would all be home for the holidays.
I have always grown up thinking birthday parties were something other people have.
