Today, I got a birthday package from my parents. It was all the stuff I'd forgotten there when visiting a month ago, along with some other things I'd left behind when I moved out. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my parents gave me my birthday present. Two weeks ago, I'd ordered an Xbox online. Three days ago, it came to my house, and my parents thought they could save money by putting wrapping paper on it, and giving it to me for my birthday. That's all they got me. FML
Today, I came home a day after my birthday, and was greeted by my mother who told me, "Oh, I have birthday present for you." She explained that she and my father went on a hike, and handed me my present. I got a fucking stick for my birthday. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, I found out that the day I moved out of my parents' house, they invited my whole family over and had a party to celebrate the fact that I was gone. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents, with whom I live, told me that they didn't get me anything, but instead they said they would knock off a bit of the housekeeping I owe them. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I finally got the PS3 I've been asking for, for a long time. When I opened the box, I didn't find a PS3, but a bunch of clothes that my mom put in my brother's PS3 box. FML
Today, my parents forgot it was my birthday. They ordered me to scrub the common bathroom, and when I asked if they'd 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 got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. FML
Today, I received the 'special' present my mother had sent me for my 21st birthday. I opened the box and saw that my mother had picked out, accessorized and shipped to me, in college, a doll. FML

That's actually a pretty good present. At least they didn't sell your stuff.

What, are you like 9? And stop leaving your shit behind at your parents' house. They're not there to pick up after you.

You know dying a miserable old man really isn't how you should look at life. But seeing as how you probably will comment something rude to me I guess it doesn't matter.

Good for them. My daughter just moved back in at 26, waiting for a "room mate" to share an apt with. Take your present and make something of yourself. YDI for leaving it.

I packed all my stuff I could in my car and just walked out. I left all the stupid stuff that one tends to accumulate over time.

Coincidentally I'm watching "Stark Raving Dad" hope they remembered to say "HB" tho.

OP's age would help in this because if OP is 19/20 and recently moved out or moved out a year ago its weird to not have your parents celebrate your birthday with a gift. For 18 years (maybe more, sometimes less) your parents will give you stuff, but once you move out its different. You just come to expect it so when its not there its weird.

to be fair grace, I think at any age presents are a courtesy and not an obligation though. jut my opinion, maybe I'm wrong

True in a sense, 41. However, I kinda feel that a parent who doesn't give their ten year old a birthday present is kind of an ass hole. Personally, I don't feel the same way about a parent who doesn't give their adult kid a birthday present. That's just me.

Either they're sending you a message or they had no money to buy you a proper gift.
