That said I agree with Lefty's post about what is normal practice within different families. It may be that your partner's family don't really mark birthdays for instance - how is he around his own and his close families birthdays? If he makes a big fuss around others that is one thing, if he doesn't really bother about birthdays for anyone then that is quite another IMO.
I gave his son birthday presents when it was his birthday in August - his son doesn't even live in Australia he's overseas; so we posted them. He *****ed and complained for a long time that his brother didn't bother to get his son a birthday present ... double standards much?
