Today, I got an email from my cousin to "save the date" for her baby shower. It's on my 21st birthday. This is the same cousin who got engaged on my 18th. FML

Today, and every other birthday I've had, I shared with my cousin whose birthday is 4 days apart from mine. It would be totally fine if I had an opinion on the theme, invitees, and location. Only my cousin gets that privilege apparently. Oh and my presents, if she likes them enough. FML

Today, I was at my sixteenth birthday party. My guests consisted of my grandma who I live with, and my 2-year-old cousin she was babysitting. FML

Today, my cousin invited me to an event that would be on Saturday night. The first thing I did after she texted me was ask my mom if I could go. I'm 20. FML

Today, I announced my first pregnancy to my family. Not to be outdone, my sister immediately announced that she "might" be getting pregnant soon. My family ended up congratulating her instead, and asked me if I would plan the baby shower. FML

Today, I found out my 17 year-old cousin is getting married. My hyper religious family swears my concerns are just “masking” my jealousy. Yeah sorry for thinking such a young person, who is still a child, should have her own life before making such a huge decision. FML

Today, my mother beamingly asked for my opinion on her wedding dress. She is engaged to her cousin. Conveniently, they already have the same last name. FML

Today, I was excitedly celebrating my 21st birthday. I was heading my to my first club when my sister called and snarkly said, “Congratulations on being 21, hope you don’t get drugged, raped and murdered tonight!” She’s mad that she was pregnant on her 21st and didn’t get to go out, so she wanted to ruin mine.

Today, I got a "save the date" card for the wedding of a couple my husband knows. I was excited because I really wish to be better friends with these people. I emailed the bride, "I got your STD!" and hit send before I realized how that sounded. FML

Today, I found out from my first cousin whose teenage daughter is pregnant that she has chosen to name her child after mine. I would be okay with this, if it weren’t the same first name, and if they weren’t just a couple of years apart. FML

Just a question... Why would you care if she got engaged on your birthday? Big ******* deal, that you're not the center of everything.

Some people take being able to legally buy cigarettes seriously. :P Although, the age does differ in some states.

She's from the UK. You can drink from when you're 18 there.

For me- drinking wasn't the biggest thing. It's being able to club hop with your friends that makes turning 21 a big deal. Baby showers normally are in the day time. Go, eat as much carbs as you can because you'll need something to soak up all that liquor you'll be drinking much latter on that night. Who knows maybe your other family members will hand you cash if you let them know it's also your birthday.

In the UK people like their 18th because you're legally allowed to drink. Or at least, that's the main thing you get. And I'm not sure about smoking, it used to be 16, but they may have increased it. Personally I'm not sure what's so special about 21st, but that might just be because at that point you don't get anything new... @OP - She couldn't really control getting engaged, could she? Also, if it bothers you so much why didn't you politely return the email asking if there was another date she could have because that was your 21st?
