Today, is my little sister's 16th birthday. I spent my last $20 on a gift for her, cleaned the house for her party, made an ice cream cake, and got her a rose. What did I get? "I hope you kept the receipt for this. Oh, and stay in your room during my party." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my sisters and I were throwing my mom a birthday party. Since I'm not good at baking, I ordered her a really nice and expensive cake. As my daughter and I were headed out the door, she told me she had added some sprinkles to make it pretty. It was the silica beads from a package. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. The only gift I got was a bill from my parents. Apparently, the rent is due on the 1st. FML
Today, it is mine and my twin sister's birthday. We both wanted a day at the spa for our birthday. My sister got a gift certificate to the spa, while I got mouthwash and a $20 gift card to Target. My mom said it would cost too much to make me also pretty. FML
Today, my sister was meant to come over for lunch for my birthday. Turns out, she forgot about it. FML
Today, I walked in on my sister and a few of my roommates planning a surprise party for a fellow roommate whose birthday is a week away. My birthday was yesterday. No one remembered. Not even my own sister. 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 spent $70 on party supplies for my sister's bachelorette party, another hour decorating, three hours baking and designing a cake, before waiting five hours to hear that she and another bridesmaid had 'moved' the party elsewhere. Cake anyone? FML
Today, it was my Sweet 16. My cousin threw a tantrum in the middle of it. She popped balloons, threw chairs around, and threw my gifts off the balcony. Reason being, she turned 16 last year and didn’t get a party. She perhaps forgot that last year we were in a pandemic. FML
Today, my mother flipped out that I spent $20 on a gift for myself for my birthday. Instead of getting a gift for me, she spent $300 on a new vacuum cleaner, and claims that we didn't have enough left in our budget to spend on me. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Take the gift and eat the ice cream cake on your own

I would've taken the gift back, got my money back and got myself something.

hopefully its the puberty talking. siblings gotta stick together! tell her all the effort you've put in because maybe she's too wrapped up in herself right now to actually see it...?

I'm sure she loves you for what you did for her, but just want to show it. Lol

Just put on the most ridiculous costume you can throw together, casually walk down, greet her friends and excuse yourself to go to a LARP event-- tell your sister you'll tell everyone she was sorry to miss the LARPing for her party.

You sound like a kind, caring big sister. Now go take that gift back and jam her selfish, ungrateful face in the cake during the party. Look at the bright side, you'll never have to do all that work again.

Sounds like your attempt to buy your sister's affection failed. Next time, shell out about $100 and see if that works. I wonder what's gone on with you two in the past to make her disinvite you from the party?

I'd get that plus her, her friends, and my family would talk about how embarrassing I am thinking I couldn't hear. Because apparently short hair and the way I dress is beyond embarrassing for them.

If i were you OP, i would have taken back my gift and may be smash the cake onto her face! Your sister is so ungratefull!
askingandy 23
You're a great sister, OP. I'd give anything to have someone like that. Unfortunately my entire family acts the same as your sister.
