Birthday, Family, Music and Love: David Lee Roth approves

David Lee Roth approves

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

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

Tense dinner

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, 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

Unhappy Birthday

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

Today, after 5 years in a row of my family doing absolutely nothing to even acknowledge my birthday, I got train tickets to see my boyfriend for the weekend and celebrate with him. I woke up to 6 angry texts about how I'm 'selfish' for not staying at home with my family. FML

YDI for having an uncle that doesn't like Van Halen.

Here's a thought and it's a bit deep so think it over. If everyone was invited then it is given that your boyfriend was invited. In fact, it is given that I was invited but, no matter, I would not have attended. Since everyone was invited, I decided to trek across the barren country on my own with no worries about being hassled by anyone else, since they were all at your birthday party...

I'm sorry, you can't win in this situation (not even on you b-day). They're too awesome. Happy birthday, though!

The truth in this is epic. My boyfriend completely ignores me when his friends are over. He's always told me the same thing ,'make yourself known'. It's true. You get so focused on one thing everything else gets tooned out!

Lol , just start singing a Van Halen Song and keep getting louder if they get louder. Not only is that comical but then your part of what's going on. Then you boyfriend can't miss you! Problem adjourned.

What kind of guy ignores you over an argument he had with your UNCLE, especially on your b-day? You might want to check his birth certificate to make sure he's not 10 years old.
