Today, I woke up to find my parents singing "Happy birthday" with lots of hugs and kisses. My birthday is next week. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I was woken up by my family surrounding me with breakfast in bed and "Sweet 16" balloons. My birthday is in 3 months, and I'll be 17. FML

A for Effort, but…
Today, I woke up to balloons, streamers, and my roommates yelling “SURPRISE!” Unfortunately, they got the wrong day. My birthday is next week, and now I'll probably have to pretend to be surprised again in seven days. 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

You're welcome!
Today, I called my mom to let her know I was coming home for my upcoming birthday, as I haven’t seen my parents in months. She then stated she hated my birthday because it reminded her she was getting older, and they may have preexisting plans that evening anyways. Really feeling the family love… 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

Happy nothing, then
Today, it's my birthday. I went downstairs expecting birthday greetings from my parents. Instead, they just sat on the couch saying nothing. Thinking they forgot, I casually reminded them. My mom scoffed and said, "Go do the dishes." FML

Yay!
Today, I got out of work, and just wanted to relax after a stressful day. Instead, I came home to a surprise birthday party that my boyfriend set up. My birthday isn't even until next week, and I secretly hate two of the people he invited. FML

Today, it was my birthday, and my kids gave me my car keys I had "lost" a week ago. FML

At least they care enough to sing to you, even if they got the date a little wrong. Still, FYL, because well, if your parents can't remember your birthday, then who can, really?

Use this to your advantage, after they celebrate and give you present tell them it's next week and make them celebrate it again

Maybe they've been lying to you your whole life and have decided to finally tell you your REAL birthday. Now you know your real birthday, the good news is that you are going to turn legal a week earlier.

Just remind them?... Not really a big deal.

Wait... So they celebrated your birthday early? If they celebrated late or forgot entirely, this would be an FML. But this isn't.

I find it hilarious that coopercat seriously believes that starving Africans don't have birthdays, do us all a favour and improve the gene pool by removing yourself from it

I think he/she may have meant that they don't get the chance to celebrate their birthdays, with presents, cake, et cetera.

Dates get mixed up all the time when you're older. Anyways, they might have remembered your birthday as on a Tuesday, for example.
