Today, at the eye doctor, they asked for my birth date for the files. My dad answered quickly, "May 28, 1994." It was embarrassing to have to correct him with "April 19, 1993." Who's May 28? Way to go dad. FML

Baby New Year?

Today, I found out that my birth date was entered incorrectly, and I’ve been believing that I am a year older than I really am. I’m actually 14, not 15. How did this happen? Both my parents and the doctor got the year of my birth wrong. FML

Today, I had to get out my birth certificate to prove to my dad that today is my birthday. This has happened before. FML

Today, I ordered a beer with my parents at dinner. The waitress said, "Oh, happy 22nd birthday." My parents eyes got really big, and they started to blush. They'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML

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

Today, I called my dad to tell him my boyfriend had proposed to me, and that we're planning on being married this summer. He was surprised at the short engagement, so I said, "Well, we're almost 30." Dad replied, "Wow, I left your mom when I was 35!" So not the conversation for that information, Dad. FML

Today, while working at a client's house, I noticed that their sliding calendar was several months off. I fixed it. Later the daughter saw and started crying. Apparently the date was the last one her mother had set it to before she died. FML

Lovely parents

Today, my parents forgot it was my birthday. They ordered me to scrub the common bathroom, and when I asked if they remembered, my dad's reaction was "Oh! Really?" My mom's was "I thought that it was next week." What lovely parents I have. FML

Today, I found out that I've been calling my boyfriend's dad by the wrong name for the past two years. No one had told me sooner because they liked laughing at me for it when I wasn't around. FML

Today, I took my 16 year-old daughter to get a bank account, taking her birth certificate with us as requested. When the teller wrote her name down on a piece of paper, my daughter said "How do you know my name?" The teller just looked at her and held up her birth certificate. I raised a nitwit. FML

the point of this isn't that he forgot the OPs birthday, but that he may have another sibling unknown to him, leading to the possibility that the OPs father is living a double life

Seriously, it's not that big of a deal. It doesn't mean that he forgot your age. It's a year. I don't know how many times I've confused my own birthdate with my hubby, just as a slip. It happens. He could have a different date on his mind. Forgive him.

I don't feel so left out anymore. :P My mom gets my birthday wrong all the time. I'm not sure if my dad knows my birthday, but rather the month; I moved away from home, so all he has to do now is mail a card sometime in February and he's safe. :)

Okay, once my father thought my birthday was September 10th, though it's the 20th, but to be fair, the 10th is HIS father's birthday. I think the occassional mishap is okay, but getting a COMPLETELY wrong day, of a COMPLETELY wrong month of a DIFFERENT YEAR, that isn't even explainable. I mean, how does one make that kind of mistake?
