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

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.

When my brother turned 17 he decided he wanted to have a huge party with like 30 of his friends. We set up the pool house at our apartment building for his party. I wrote out all the invitations, made all the food, cleaned up and decorated. Right before the party, my brother told my brother and I we were not invited. He called me an ugly cow and said I embarrassed him. He told my brother he was too fat to not have a shirt on. He didn't want us near him at all today. He said he hated us and didn't want us around. After we did all the work mind you. I told him fine, if that is what he wanted, we would not be anywhere near him on his birthday. We returned his gifts, bought some booze, and since there were still a few hours before his party, we called everyone on the list and cancelled the party. We called our own friends, had them come to the pool house early, and we threw a party. When my brother called from his after school events for us to pick him up we told him to take the bus. My mom refused to pick him up either because of his attitude and he was grounded on his birthday. He didn't speak to us for about three weeks, but at the end he learned a very valuable lesson on how to treat people who do nice things for you. They can, and just might, take it away from you.

Best response I've ever read. You outwitted him in spades! Congrats! That's SO much better, and more mature, than the violence suggested by some others: "slap her" "punch her in the throat" "kick her ass"

Well done. And well done for the parent(s) that backed you both up by grounding the brat. And yes, that IS a valuable lesson to be learned. Most don't have to learn it so painfully, but sometimes? It IS necessary.

The Not Your Birthday Party was awesome. Little brother is now much nicer and afraid of us, so he makes sure he always says nice things and is polite. My mom is not above the hard lessons in life, even if it means we miss a once in a lifetime opportunity. I missed out on a concert because I failed English class. She went with her friend and made sure to show us all the pictures. I was crushed but learned the importance of going to class and doing well.

Im glad to read that your mom sided with you vs your selfish and hateful 17yr old brother. The way some parents are, they'd ground the siblings who were treated like crap instead. My brother was always cruel and abusive. I would have LOVED to have had a caring sibling who set me up a birthday party.

What an ungrateful little bitch. Sorry you have a rotten sibling. I wouldn't go out of your way to do anything extra or nice for her anymore. Good luck.

this is where you watch lonely island's "threw it on the ground" video and replicate the cake scene (or you can just shove it in her face too - but only if all her friends are there) and then you go in her room, and do the same. [i took it and threw it on the grouuunnnd!!!].
