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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

That spoiled brat I would take the gift back and get my money back, also you should eat the cake for yourself and tell her she can't have the party. That's so rude and ungrateful!!!!

I would embarrass the shit out of her at the party.

I agree with her, of course you're going to return the gift and get her something else... Which is a bitch slap across the face! It's a win win situation for everyone!

sorry to say but she is a bitch

That sucks! My youngest sister turns 16 in a couple of days. I, too, spent the last of my holiday gift money on her present, and am the one in charge of cleaning the house before her friends come over to party. She's a total bitch so that's the most she's getting out of me. No homemade desserts, no flowers. She'd just throw them at the wall- or me- for a laugh for her and her friends anyway. So NOT worth it.

That's when you get her some Vagisil.

Thats sad. I just turned 16 and would never dream of saying something like that. You obviously gave her a heartfelt gift and those are the best kind.
