Today, it's my birthday. My parents, with whom I live, told me that they didn't get me anything, but instead they said they would knock off a bit of the housekeeping I owe them. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
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, 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
Today, I told my family that for my birthday I didn’t want to do any chores and just wanted the house cleaned. What they heard was mom won’t do chores today so let’s leave them all for her tomorrow. I didn’t even have a clean mug for coffee this morning. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. FML
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, it's my birthday. I've spent most of it apologizing to my parents for the "hassle" of "having" to arrange a simple birthday dinner. Sorry I was born, guys. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My father didn't get me a birthday present or do anything for me, and acted as though he only came to visit because it was expected. Yet when it was his birthday a couple months ago, he expected me to take him out and pay for it FML
Today, it was my birthday. I had an appointment at the dentist and went to do some shopping after that. A while after I got home, I met my dad and he just started complaining that I didn't spend any time with them on my birthday. When I tried to explain to him, he just got angry at me and started yelling. 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

For my 18th I got a nice set of luggage and a swift kick in the ass.

#22 Who said she was old enough to live on her own? The fact that OP is expected to do chores doesn't mean that they're legally old enough to move out.

First off, do your housekeeping regularly and stuff like this won't happen, DUH!

My parents didn't get me anything for my birthday either, OP. In fact, my dad forgot. I had to remind him.

Your parents are just teaching you a valuable lesson of life. That lesson is that no one will ever give two-***** about you or your bloomin' birthday.

This is not an FML, why do people expect to GET gifts for their birthday? They've done nothing... For my birthday I actually buy mu mom a gift, she did all the work & she cared for me when I couldn't do for myself... People sometimes... -_-*

Why do people expect to get gifts for their birthday? Maybe because modern society is used to it. Getting presents is more common and normal than getting nothing. So, yes, **** OP's life.

YDI for expecting a gift for something as arbitrary as birthday. I mean, shit, EVERYONE has a birthday. Also, YDI for living with your parents, for even HAVING parents, and for even having a birthday in the first place, you mutant freak.

Heck, I didn't get anything for my birthday either. Get over yourself. At least you have less cleaning to do.
