Today, I realised yesterday was my 30th birthday. What made it worse is that my parents forgot, along with my other relatives and friends. No cards, no texts, no calls, no Facebook messages. Nothing. Happy 30th to me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I'm still trying not to cry. Yesterday was by birthday. I got an email from my dad with three words, "Happy Birthday (nickname)". I got a Facebook post from my mother. No card. No phone call. No gift. I have become nothing more than a Facebook friend to my parents. FML
Today, it's my 25th birthday. I closed at work, not one person wished me happy birthday, no calls or letters from my family. Even my boyfriend of 3 years didn’t remember. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Nobody said anything, not even my Facebook friends, who probably got a notification about it. 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 why my parents forgot my birthday. Facebook didn't remind them. FML
Today, I turned 29. To celebrate, my office got me a cake that read "Happy 38th!!" The "theme" of the "party" was 'Not a day over 35!' I waited all day for someone to tell me it was all a prank, but nobody did. I spent my lunch hour crying in my car. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, it's my 30th birthday. My husband came home with a big case of beer for himself, then told me he didn't have time to get me a present because of work. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML
Today, it was my birthday and I have no children. My father bluntly says, "Well, I guess if I get any grand-babies out of you now, they will have Down's Syndrome." I just turned 30. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Two of my best friends forgot it, and so did my grandparents. All of my friends were busy, so I spent it alone in my car. FML

Don't you mean, "Happy Belated 30th to me."? Because it seems you forgot about it too!

Obviously you forgot too. Why does it matter others did as well?

Cant really be too upset if you also forgot that it was your birthday.

Welcome to the club. No one in my family has remembered my birthday over the last 20 years, and even as a child it was often forgotten (only remembered a month later when one of my siblings' birthday party was occurring and they would have an "oh yea, your b-day was last month...... Huh" moments.

This is why i hold my own bday parties. If friends/family forget, who cares! I still got cake!

If you only just realised it was your 30th birthday yourself you cannot really blame others for forgetting.

Forgetting your own birthday is whats making it worse..

You're 30 years old. Stop expecting everyone to congratulate you on living for a year. Since you yourself forgot that date, I question why you feel this was such a slight?
