Today, it's my birthday. I'm a pastry chef by profession. Not only did my family buy a cake from my bakery, I had to make it myself and inscribe it with 'Happy Birthday Dad'. The worst part is, they asked money from me to pay for it. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML
Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I was very happy. When the moment came to blow the candles, all of the decoration on the cake flew off. It had taken an hour to make and set them on the cake. FML
Today, it was my friend's birthday, so I baked him a cake complete with his name written on it in homemade frosting. After I gave it to him, his mother berated me for it, saying I should have checked with her first before making a cake for her son. He's 28. FML
Today, it's my birthday. At my workplace, we always get a cake for whoever's birthday it is. They somehow forgot about me. I've been working there for a year, and my grandparents and my dad own the restaurant I work at. FML
Today, it was both my and my stepmother's birthday. In preparation, my dad bought a huge banner with my stepmother's name on it, and a lovely birthday cake. When I told him it was also my birthday, he just grunted and taped a post-it note to the banner with my name on it. Same with the cake. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My only birthday present was a cake that my dad bought from Walmart. Well, it sure looked tasty. The only problem: it had nuts on it. Guess what I'm highly allergic too? At least my dad told me he'd "tell me how it tastes." FML
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML

the fact that they bought it from your bakery is a good thing! it means they think your cakes are the best, so take it as a compliment! the rest still sucks though...

Why didn't you just make a cake at home then?

Sucks. But then again, moms around the world make their own birthday cakes all the time.

Given that it says "Happy Birthday Dad" I'm guessing by your family, you mean your kids, and if your kids are younger than eighteen years old, then just accept it as it being expected of kids who aren't yet fully mature and probably aren't full members of society yet. If they're adults with their own jobs, however, get them back by doing something similar on their birthdays! Look on the bright side. At least you can make yourself the best damn cake ever, instead of relying on someone else and hoping they make a type of cake you actually like!

I have to agree with some and disagree with others. First good point, atleast you made it and know they didn't secretly poision it. First bad part, you payed for it with your own money. It could go on like this but I don't feel like typing a paragraph. FYL and your birthday.

you really are retarded. dude, read it again. it says that it's HIS birth day, and his family bought a cake from HIS bakery, which HE had to bake, and HE had to pay with HIS OWN GODDAMN MONEY!
