Today, is the day of the biggest concert in the state of Florida, and it's also my birthday. I was so excited to hear my mom got tickets. It was for her boyfriend and her. I'm stuck at home babysitting. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML
Today, I asked my dad what his plans for Friday were. Apparently, he's going to a concert with my step-mom all evening. It's been their plan for months. Friday is my birthday. That's been set since the day I was born. FML
Today, I heard my dad complaining that he won't be able to go to a concert, because it's happening on my birthday. This is the first time he's even acknowledged my birthday in over ten years. FML
Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I'd asked my mom weeks ago if she could watch my kids, so my husband and I could go celebrate. She told me an hour before we were supposed to leave I'd have to reschedule, so she could watch my brother's kids while he goes out for fun. Gee, thanks mom. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me Kings of Leon tickets for my birthday. Since he thought I was irresponsible, he gave the tickets to his mum so I wouldn't lose them. The show is today, and we can't find the tickets. FML
Today, my friend got a babysitter for the kids and told me she was taking me to a party. My son told me his band was playing at a party. I will be 40 tomorrow, so I thought this would be the best surprise birthday party ever. It WAS a surprise birthday party – for a friend of ours. FML
Today, I found my concert tickets that I've been trying to find for the last 2 weeks in my mom's closet. When I asked why she had them, she said she felt the concert was inappropriate for me so she hid them. I'm 20. FML
Today, it's my birthday and my mom took me and some friends to an amusement park. Looking for a tampon, I found a phone in my mom's purse that I didn't recognize. Turns out my mom is cheating on my dad. Happy birthday to me, I guess. FML

She sounds rather selfish. It's your special day, not her's.

Wow just reading this makes me mad, I can't imagine how you feel OP. Happy Birthday, though. :(
amDes 11
Personally if my mom pulled that I would NOT be babysitting. She can find someone else who doesn't have a birthday that day.

OP's mom reminds me of my mom. :( I had to babysit on my 16th birthday because I had nothing better to do, while my parents went out to drink.

Oh yes how horrible of the mother that feeds and clothes her to do something nice for herself. Heaven forbid it not be all about her.
ohgeejosee 19
132, just because she can afford those tickets, you can't be sure she provides her with those. My mother was always in my life, but my grandma provided with clothing and shelter. My mother chose her money on other things.

Any other day sure but it was her daughters birthday she should have taken her daughter out not her boyfriend

What does being American have anything to do with this
anonymous100000 17
ironic. you'd think she'd be celebrating the day due to the fact that she pushed you out of her ******. what a ****. I'm sorry OP.

If it was a One Direction concert, hearing your description "biggest concert" might make me throw up

You'd also be extremely lucky if it was a minaj concert...

As I type this I already can feel the down votes, but I think something has to be said. I truly don't care about people's musical preferences. I don't care if you like Justin Bieber or if you like exclusively Michael Jackson, or whatever. But I just ask people to recognize that even though someone might be famous, it doesn't mean that they don't have feelings. Whether its Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Mozart, John Lennon, they all have (or have had) feelings. So why do people constantly make fun of some them and turn them into jokes? Even if they produce music that you hate, why does society feel the need to downgrade them almost daily? If I don't like someone or their music, I don't take hits at them left and right. I simply choose not to listen to their music. Can't we all do the same?

Don't criticize the degradation. They have feelings, but I guarantee you they've been instructed by PR professionals (or something similar) to not give a shit about what we say. In fact, every time we mention them (in a good or bad light) they win the publicity game.

If my mom went to a giant concert, that i wanted to go to, with her boyfriend on my birthday.. It would get to me. Id be pissed and hurt.

Sorry OP, you should let them destroy the house now!
tygerarmy 35
Let them? You should play the let's destroy the house game with them. When your mom gets home say "We had our own concert here."

What a selfish mom
HowieDoIt 21
Hey, someone else had a similar situation right before a fairy godmother showed up in a pumpkin! Who knows what could happen tonight?!
Welshite 39
I had that happen to me. Unfortunately, my fairy godmother took one look at me, said "nope", and ended up using the pumpkin for soup.

Ur spellin' is so purty.

We realized that, we thumbed because of "ur" instead of "your."
andrealovvve 17
Who really gives a **** about spelling on this? Like it really bothers U people that much?!
thatsdndn1 19
What ever guys .. We are not at school here .. Second english is my fourth language .. So i don't care .. Really!
GalaxyShots 21
You should've thumbed down because of 'ur' instead of 'you're'.
Wizardo 33
Things like these you pay back in kind, get revenge slowly or make her feel really guilty and get revenge that way... >:l
mario2012 18
Exactly. Because no matter what, karma is a bitch.

#21: I'm sure you get plenty of free fuel.
limitedition 25
I doubt a Mom that would be THAT level of selfish would feel guilty about it anyhow.

I'm pretty sure that if her mom got her to babysit kindness wouldn't even faze her...

I'm not sure what coal is, Santa kept sending it to Maggie Thatcher so she closed the mines
