Today, it was my birthday. We had a huge family dinner and everyone was invited, including my boyfriend. My family is kind of stuck-up, so I was very nervous about him meeting them. He got into an argument with my uncle over how "awesome" Van Halen is, and ignored me all night. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my birthday dinner with my family. Everyone was making an effort to avoid a certain topic. Later my 5 year old cousin gives me a nice hand drawn card of me and my boyfriend. Apparently no one had the heart to tell her my boyfriend had broken up with me on my birthday. FML
Today, I had a family get-together for my birthday. I got to watch all my family members get piss-drunk and argue over who's having the worst time. FML
Today, I went to dinner with my husband's family to celebrate our nephew's birthday. He spent the entire dinner flirting with his sister, then got offended when I said that his behavior was weird. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My dad showed up to my birthday dinner wasted, was loud and obnoxious the whole time, sexually harassed our waitress, then invited my annoying, bratty nephews to come home and spend the night with us. They're sleeping in my room. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I got out of work, and just wanted to relax after a stressful day. Instead, I came home to a surprise birthday party that my boyfriend set up. My birthday isn't even until next week, and I secretly hate two of the people he invited. FML
Today, it was supposed to be my birthday dinner with two of my friends. They're both now bringing their boyfriends, so I get to be the fifth wheel to my own birthday dinner. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Today, it was my 18th birthday and I was told I couldn't get the night off work because a party of 34 had booked into the restaurant. It turned out my family had come in to 'celebrate' by making me wait on them. They were a nightmare, thought it was hilarious to be difficult, and didn't tip. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to a family dinner. It went well, until my dad got drunk and started telling everyone about how "midgets" are assholes and are ruining America. FML
Today, none of my family was at home. Turns out my one of my aunts was having a birthday party and all my relatives went, but nobody told me because they don’t like me coming around. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Bah!!!! Who is Van Halen? I can't even blame your age because I'm 22 and your profile says your 19. Kids these days *rolls eyes* Don't your parents listen to music? Shit my dad was all about Van Halen, Metallica, The eagles, uriah heep, CCR... How just how? I blame parents, god dammit!!!!

That comment made baby jesus cry. No offense, but next time trying googling "Van Halen", instead of looking like a idiot and posting "LOL WHOS VAN HALEN".

Lmao van hellsing. If he sung in the band Van Halen I would probably cream.

58 - I love the Aerosmith self titled album with dream on... Everything else is hit and miss. And what?Van Helsing?? Probably not even Bram Stoker... *sigh* I have no faith in people.

Aerosmith's drummer lives in my town. Granted, he has a way bigger house than I could ever imagine having, but I digress. Had it not been or Van Halen, Aerosmith, etc. we wouldn't have a lot of the music that we do today. What's my point? I'm really not sure.

They're bonding! It's not like he's going to ignore you forever.

I agree. It sounds like the boyfriend and OP's family are getting on fine with each other. The only problem here is OP is crying "what about MEEEE; pay attention to MEEEE; talk about how awesome IIII am!"

why was "awesome" in quotation marks?
absolutegrrr 7
Perhaps because it was a quote.

You don't quote a common word like that unless you disagree with it.

van halen is "awesome" just like necrophilia is "hot"

I think that I'm the only person I know that prefers Hagar over Roth. And only liked David Lee Roth when he was doing his solo project. Lol I've gotten into arguments myself. You know how many times I heard people say "That's not Van Halen anymore, that's Van Hagar, and he sucks, blah blah blah?" I disagree! Okay, got it off my chest!(:

You should have whistled him over and told him to STAY! Seriously, at a very large gathering, if you really wanted your family to meet him then you should be happy. I am assuming the argument was simply a discussion. Given that, I would think that your family would be impressed.
