Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML

Today, my parents forgot it was my birthday. They ordered me to scrub the common bathroom, and when I asked if they 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, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML

Today, my brother mentioned my dad's birthday party. I said, "What party?" He said, "Shit, forgot I wasn't supposed to tell you." My own father doesn't want me at his party. FML

Today, my dad asked me when I was going to start looking for a job. Jokingly, I told him next year. He got pissed, started to yell, then realized Tuesday is New Year's Day and grounded me for "being a dumbass." FML

Get out your birth certificate and a list of whatever you want. He's going to have to make up for that one somehow op.

Just remember to forget his birthday. When he says something, tell him he's obviously too old for birthdays.

First of all Happy birthday OP. It sucks that your dad forgot your birthday and someone from your family would have remembered and celebrated it

Oh, yeah, I do that all the time when I forget people's birthdays. It's really hard to ground coworkers and friends, but I get it done.

I hope you just throw ground beef at them rather than pushing them onto the ground.

This literally happened to my best friend today and it's freaking me out because I truly think it could be her...

You're not alone op. My mom had to remind my dad to call me on my birthday every year (he's a truck driver so he's only here for one day a week) and when she finally stopped calling him to remind him he stopped calling. Just know that there are other people out here for you and happy birthday op :)

I'm trying to wrap my head around how your own father could not remember at least the month of when you were born. Either way, happy birthday OP!

Poor op! I hope your dad makes it up somehow! Maybe money, presents, cake, and a full celebration with just you two after you show him your birth certificate to prove it or something!

Today, after taking my girlfriend on a date, she invited me back to her place for "hot coffee and dessert." Excitedly, I said yes. When we got there, we actually had coffee and dessert. When I told her this wasn't what I'd had in mind, she kicked me out for being a pervert. FML

Today, I went indoor rock climbing with my uncle and his 5 year-old girl. I'm about halfway up the hardest ascent when my arm cramps up. As I stretched my arm, my cousin yells up at me in her tiny voice, "Prove you're a man and climb that wall!" I fell off. I was emasculated by a 5 year-old. FML

Today, I put my headphones on and laid down to relax to some music. I fell asleep, and woke up later to a police officer busting into my house. My neighbor had been knocking on my door, then looked through my window and saw me on my couch, and was convinced I'd died. FML

Today, my best friend and I both applied for the same job. I was applying because my family is REALLY tight on cash, and I need the money. He applied because I told him about the job and we thought it would be fun working together. He was hired on the spot. I was denied the job. FML

Today, after my 5-year-old finally got over his grandmother's death, we went to a store and saw a lady that looked exactly like her. She came up to us asking if we saw her grandson; I can't get my son to stop freaking out. FML

Today, on the bus, when I was asking my 6-year-old son what he wanted for Christmas, a stranger came up to us and yelled at him about how Santa Claus is not real, that his "parents are fucking liars" and that he should "never listen to anything one of those fuckers says." FML
