Today, I emailed 10 parents inviting them to my son's birthday party. All 10 emailed back saying their kids had to get a cavity filled. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, it was my daughter's 11th birthday party. One kid broke a vase, another lost a (baby) tooth, and two kids, including mine, tested positive for Covid. My kid parties harder than I ever have. FML
Today, my husband thought it would be "funny" to put laxatives in the cakes for my son's 7th birthday party. Over 40 kids came to the party. FML
Today, we celebrated our daughter's sixth birthday. Out of the 30 invited, 7 showed up. The last one to cancel this morning told us she was ill. My daughter was in tears as this meant the last remaining playmate couldn't come. My wife later saw her tagged on Facebook at another party. FML
Today, I sent out a note to 300 friends saying that I'm having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I asked to please write back if they are interested in coming. Two people replied. They said they can't make it. FML
Today, I had to go to a birthday party for 10 year-old triplets. They've all been dead for more than 9 years. FML
Today, my husband sent an email invite to his family about our daughter's upcoming birthday. Upon reading the email, his aunt clicked "reply all" while emailing her husband and said, "I'd rather say we're out of town than see that dumb bitch our nephew calls his wife." FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, I'd organized a small dinner with immediate family for my birthday. I’ve since received texts from every one of them, cancelling due to varying reasons. My parents excuse is the funniest - they went out last night for a coworker’s party, and don’t want to go out again tonight. For me. Their child. FML
Today, during my daughter's 8th birthday at a skating rink, a family showed up that didn't RSVP. The mother brought all 3 of her kids and left them at the party alone. She didn't feed them lunch and they followed me around the whole time asking for money. FML
Today, my 21 year-old daughter called crying because she was in pain due to a wisdom tooth. She was angry because she thinks I should have called the dentist for her. She can't get an appointment immediately, so now refuses to celebrate her birthday four weeks away. I told her that she's an adult now. Still my fault. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is it you or your kid that's the problem?

Maybe your previous parties gave them all cavities.

Either the kid's the problem or you're the problem.

Or that the people OP sent the invitations to are the problem. Just sayin'.

I'm sorry but when ten parents (or sets of parents, or parents and their children) decline a party invite with that kind of excuse either the OP, their child, or the OP's handling of a previous party/event. Ten unrelated parental units don't usually turn against a one child without some kind of prompting, no matter how small.

#51, were you going for "brat" or "beast"?

Or bert, because we all know he was the bitchy one

No I think she meant "little bear". The reason the other kids don't come is because OP is the papa bear.

All I can think about is the My Name Is Earl episode where Joy thought nobody liked her kids but everyone really was avoiding her. Maybe it's time to talk to the other parents and find out what the problem is. Stuff like this can stick with a kid and effect social development. I'd love to make a joke about a demon child or a crazy parent, but I feel bad for the kid.

There is a girl like this in my daughter's class. This girl is a bully and always in trouble for hitting, kicking, shoving or spitting on another kid. Her mom sent out a bunch of birthday invitations, and only 1 showed up. You should ask the parents what the real reason was. Maybe your son is a bully at school. If you know the real reason, you can hopefully fix it.

It's a conspiracy.

So is it you or your kid they don't like?

Not joking here. You need to start some investigation here as to why your child is so disliked. Perhaps it is easily seen that your child is a bully or perhaps he is so smart the rest of the kids don't like him? Whatever it is you need to find it as your child is getting more and more isolated from the rest of the class and school.
