Today, I woke up and took my mom to work. It wasn't until after I got home, logged on Facebook and looked at the upcoming birthdays to see that it was her birthday today. No wonder she was silent the entire car ride and slammed the door on the way out. FML
I agree, your life sucks (2739) - you totally deserved it (26924)

Yeah. What are you doing, OP? Get off the computer and plan her a surprise party.

Quick, you have a couple of hours to arrange a mini surprise party!!

wow, you're an ass. How do you not know your own mother's birthday?
#5 - On 11/28/2009 at 2:12pm by noshitsherlock
Maybe he/she forgot because his/her mom is a bitch or the mother never makes a big deal of her birthday. That's how my parents are, all they do is go out to eat with each other. I wish the only thing that happened on my birthday was just presents but nooooooooooo, we have to have a stupid party.

Do what the others suggest, bake a cake, get her flowers or a gift & surprise her when she gets home. If you literally rolled out of bed & drove her to work, it's understandable that you'd be out of it for a while. You can still make up for it!

It's the same way with the phone. After the 5th time I called, he FINALLY answers the phone. After I said hello, he started yelling at me about how "it was upstairs and he didn't hear it, so I should get off of his back." And yet I forget ONE time and "you need to have it with you ALWAYS. It's for communication. What if we took the phone/computer etc. away? Would that finally teach you to be more responsible?"
...dick.
no one remembers my birthday T~T so ur mum's not alone T~T

You need Facebook to remember your mom's birthday? You're a horrible daughter!
#10 - On 11/28/2009 at 2:26pm by GreenRupee
I really don't understand any of these responses. People forget birthdays. Big deal.
On my birthday, I certainly don't expect the world to revolve around me.
I just asked a friend what he'd do if someone forgot his, and he said, "I'd probably forget my own birthday."
#25 - On 11/28/2009 at 4:42pm by BeeSkwaird
I'd be relieved...to be quite honest. All of this "aww happy birthday! How old are you? Really? Wow that's old! lol jk. Open my present first! Let's go bowling!" bullshit makes me sick...
The horrible daughter part was more ironic, it isn't that big of a deal, it's more the fact that she uses Facebook and remembers things like that not because of the calendar, not because of the mobile phone, not because of the family/friends but because of some random website that can crush down anytime.

plan a surprise party with her favorite kind of cake and say you were only pretending to forget it
#13 - On 11/28/2009 at 2:43pm by shadowskater
More like FYML for having a daughter like you. That's horrible - go do something for her now.
#14 - On 11/28/2009 at 2:55pm by DeathByFalchion
what the hell are you doing on the computer OP? Go bake a frikken cake and get her some frikken presents!!! NOW!!!
If she hasn't hinted it was her birthday, all week, then its her fault! fhs
#17 - On 11/28/2009 at 3:21pm by Jason_Dawn
I don't need hints to remember my Mother and Father's birthday.... hell I've remembered since I was 7-8.... I don't know maybe if kids like you weren't horrible self-centered children you wouldn't need your parents to drop hints.... :-)
#19 - On 11/28/2009 at 3:40pm by theblazian
so go out get her at least a cake and a card, get a gift if you can find something. pretend you were just fucking around and really didnt forget. but OP you deserve it for forgetting your moms birthday. i dont get along with my mom at all and barely talk to her, but i still know her birthday.
#18 - On 11/28/2009 at 3:23pm by kisseshugsdrugs
Yea, tell her you were just pretending to forget it. Or just come clean, she might understand. Still, feel sorry for you.
So.....she expects you to wish her a happy birthday as soon as you get yourself up to drive her to work? That's a bit idiotic and ungrateful....for all she knows, you might have been planning a surprise party for her, or wanted to wish her Many Happy Returns later on in the day. What a gross overreaction. Bet she's going through menopause!
But honestly, if you had to look on your Facebook to remember her birthday, you need to work on that. Like, NOW. Go out and buy her a card and/or something nice, and give it to her when she gets home from work.
YDI for forgetting your own mother's birthday.
FYL because she overreacted first thing in the morning.
#22 - On 11/28/2009 at 4:06pm by myfriend_youfail
Flowers delivered to her at work would be a great cover--they'd show her you were only pretending you forgot her birthday.
OP you are Epic FAIL! You had to use a stupid networking site to remind you it was your own mother's birthday? Seriously? You completely fail at life you dumb bitch.
#26 - On 11/28/2009 at 5:01pm by helpmeiamblind
Haha. How do you forget your own mother's birthday? Oh, well. It's still salvageable so long as you shake a leg and do something before the day's over.
#27 - On 11/28/2009 at 5:11pm by blastvortex
You should have just saved yourself by saying it was all a joke and organising something nice while she's out.
#30 - On 11/28/2009 at 6:08pm by DecayDance
Oh no! Wait, this can be salvaged! Plan a huge impromptu surprise birthday for her when she gets back from work :D
Yes, because your mother's birthday is SO MUCH more important than your own? You FML commentors are sad...
#34 - On 11/28/2009 at 7:14pm by scateice
I think the point we're all getting at is that this is a person really really close to the OP. You should be able to remember the birthdays of your immediate family. After all, you've grown up with them for eighteen or so years, usually. Forgetting your own mother's birthday would be like forgetting what two plus two equals. It's something you just grow up knowing, and if you forget, you look pretty damn stupid for a little while.

if you go to page 513 of top fmls you will notice that this exact comment has already been pasted wtf

For real though, this happened, my mom turned 44 today. I remembered it all week, and then today I just completely forgot about it... I'm an insomniac and I usually fall asleep around 7-8 and she goes to work at 10. So I was beyond groggy. I'm planning on taking her out to dinner tomorrow,
Make her a nice dinner and get her a gift and card. problem solved. I bed you'd remember her birthday if she was dead though...
i always forget my parents birthdays. we never make a big deal out of birthdays here.
#43 - On 11/28/2009 at 11:49pm by organisedchaos
thats horrible... well throw her a quick suprise party to make it all up
#44 - On 11/29/2009 at 12:51am by jessxoxo28
LOL fail at life much? forgetting ur mum b'day, but dw, if ur driving her to work each day i say, her life cant get much more fked :P
It's sad how we live in a day and age where you need a website to remind you of your own mother's birthday
YDI, but you can easily redeem yourself if you try to surprise her :P
#52 - On 11/29/2009 at 11:48pm by Mudkipzrule
Hate to tell you, but your mother is immature. A mature person would've reminded you that it was her birthday, and then you could've said "happy birthday" to her. Otherwise, she should've just waited to see if you said something during the day, but that's still being a martyr because it's expecting people to remember it without prompting.
