Today, my dad's girlfriend threw me a birthday party and all the gifts, decorations, and the cake were according to my age, which they thought was 12. I turned 13 today. FML

Yeah, Jesus how ungrateful, you got a party, no one cares how old you are. It doesn't matter until you're either 16, 18 or 21. All the other ages you should just be happy people remember it IS your birthday.

Exactly, it's this kind of selfishness I hate most. So what if she was off by a year? She made the effort so she obviously cares which is more than OP seems to deserve.

Honestly, the fact that she's not got any stake in it and tried to do something nice for you should absolutely trump the fact that she was a year off. Maybe if you were more mature she would've realized you were a year older.

Everyone shut the fuck up and stop pretending this is some exclusive club you belong to that's being broken into by new people. You're not some special person who gets a say in who comes here and who doesn't, so stop whining like babies.
No, no I'm not twelve. Thanks for ignoring my point and asking.

All of you shut the fuck up. Middle school kids are the most annoying little fucks ever known to this world. Granted, I'm 16 (and a half), but seriously, I bet 85% of all the little arguments started on this site was a little seventh grader thinking how fucking great he is because he's a seventh grader. I LIVE with a fucking seventh grader. They're all annoying as hell. Right about freshman year is when those goddamn kids start calming down and shit, and start acting like normal people.

I think you guys are mean, actually. It's the ones who think they're so cool, regardless of age, and better than everyone else, that annoy me. I think it's a real bummer that her father didn't even know her age. I'm eighteen, if that matters, since we're pulling rank.

You can tell how many naive middle schoolers are on this website from the comment sections. Any normal adult knows that proposing to someone over Mafia Wars on Myspace is terrible, but the middle schoolers will come out and say "OMG UR SO UNGRATEFUL ID BE SO HAPPY IF SUM1 PROPOZED LYKE DAT TO ME" because they don't have common sense about life yet. I love my 14 year old sister but she is not on my level, sorry. I'm 19 and I've learned a LOT since middle school, so middle schoolers trying to act like they are above themselves need to deflate their little egos.

You all need to stop calling to OP ungrateful, spoiled, etc, because yes, they did get a party thrown for them which is great. But the whole point was her own father and his girlfriend don't even know how old they are. A girlfriend is understandable, but it's really pathetic if you can't remember your own child's age. Also, don't just assume all 12 and 13 year olds are immature, annoying, etc. I know some of them really don't belong on this site, but at that age there's all kinds of maturity levels. When I was 12 i was a lot more mature then then some of the people my age, and everyone I hung around with then would definitely understand this site. By the time I was 13 almost everyone my age that I talked to would belong on this site, so don't just assume.

@89 age doesn't matter you could be eight and have a lot of expirience. There are some thirteen year olds in this world who's mothers have died. And who do you think you are telling people what they can or can't do? I don't see a sighn anywhere saying 14 or older. And anyone who agrees with him grow up you where thirteen once dumbasses. Love you, Muah

Apparently, it was the father's girlfriend and only her who threw the party. Perhaps the dad didn't even know, or, if he did, she told him to leave it to her. That is how the FML is worded; "my dad's girlfriend threw me a birthday party" - no where does it say daddy got involved about it.
OP is being ungrateful. She's only his girlfriend, and perhaps hasn't even been his girlfriend for long. OP should cut the poor wretch some slack instead of being a brat.

she should be happy that her STEP MOTHER even threw her a birthday party. and does it really matter what decorations were there?!? 12 & 13 year olds are basically interested in the same things anyway aren't they? i think children these days are all just spoiled brats. She should just be grateful her step mother is so generous.

261 - age makes a difference for 11 and 12 year olds but not for 13 year olds? why does it seem like that might have something to do with you being 13...
20 years old over here and okay with the tweens on fml. who the hell cares. if they're obnoxious and leave comments that make them obvious, feel free to hate on the individuals.

Okay... Before people start jumping my ass, I'm 16 and a senior in high school.
To a preteen or even an insecure teen, age is important, and this would be a big deal. An adult could just laugh it off and be glad they looked a year younger. I'm not saying the chick isn't bratty for complaining about it on FML, I'm just saying that when you're young, it IS sort of an FML.
I don't think things like this should be on this site though, since the majority of users are older. Not to mention all the posts about sex, relationships, etc, that younger users can't understand or relate to. For example, a twelve-year-old girl might think it's hilarious and cool that a guy sounds like Chewbacca when he gets off (http://www.fmylife.com/intimacy/6126776). Ten years later (or even four or five) she'll see it in a totally different light.
Just an example.

bgpink-Wtf? So once you turn 13, your "mature" That doesn't make sense. I understand everything on this site you prick, and if I don't urbandictionary is there for me :) Mature for your age? I think not.
"Since Im like 13 im better than 11/12 yr olds cause theyre little and stuff"
I know it's gotta be cool to be a teenager and in charge of Middle School but you don't have the right to be totally ignorant...

True, its important that she should be grateful thier stepmom cares but for the OP, it kinda is an fml. When I turned 13 I was ecstatic all day about being a teenager. If my stepdad made a whole party saying I was 12, I would have been devastated. True, now that I'm older I'd be able to see its the thought that counts but it's not something I would have thought of when I was 13.

Middle Schoolers are as retarded as shit but they get a lot of the crap on this website. I've known all the stuff on this website since the 3rd grade. Honestly, I'm 15 & have a 13 year old cousin; if you think that the FMLs are too "innapropriate" for them you are wrong. this generation knows way more than they need too at young ages!

Okay, just shut the hell up. I'm a 7th grader and, when I was going on twelve last year, one of my friends, whom I had told that we were exactly four years apart, had assumed I was four years older than her, in contrast of being younger. I got The Talk this past summer, so I know what the fuck I'm reading about on here.

anyway, OP, I'd be glad that she at least remembered, but I can see where you're coming from. It sounds like you already didn't like her and this was just one more thing to complain about. And to everyone saying she's selfish, remember how old she is. When you're younger, every little thing that goes wrong feels like it's the end of the world, and it's not.

That's painful, I know, but the girlfriend is trying. Think of all the work she put into this. And she really has no way of knowing your age other than what your Dad tells her.
And Dads are Dads - my Dad mixed up his kids names our whole lives. He took me to the Dr once and I was afraid they would think he kidnapped me because he didn't know any info about me!
