Today, my mother had to ask me when my birthday was, because she gets it confused with the day she bought our old car. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom was screaming and throwing things at me and I didn’t know why. Then I checked the date. Her birthday was yesterday. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
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
Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML
Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML
Today, my mother used climate change as an excuse for not remembering my birthday. FML
Today, it was my 16th birthday. My surprise was a new car, that is now in the side of the garage because my mom lost control while driving it around front. FML
Today, my mother-in-law texted to wish me a happy birthday. She spelled my name wrong and it's not my birthday. FML
Today, my mother called me a bad son for not telling her "Happy Mother's Day". When I told her Mother's Day wasn't until the 10th, she said that I would have forgotten anyway. FML
Today, it's my birthday. When I asked my mom if we were gonna do anything special for my birthday. She said, "Don't lie to me. It's not your birthday." FML

not sure Why 15 is getting down voted. not all parents do the sentimental birthday thing. mine didn't either.

I was just agreeing with #1. My parents aren't the easter bunny, Santa claus, tooth fairy type etc. It's nice that at least OP's mom owned up to her mistake although idk how she can remember popping a baby out of her.

Sucks, OP. Do you have siblings? Maybe there's a lot to remember. Parents often have a lot of things to remember and can get confused!

A mother's love has no bounds... but hey at least she asked and didn't miss your birthday. Maybe next year she won't even need to ask.

Time to burn the car! Do it on your birthday. That way she'll remember the date.
