Today, my Dad sent me an e-mail wishing me a "Happy 21st Birthday, sweetheart!" The message went on and on about how much he loves and misses me and wishes we were closer, and can't believe how fast I'm growing up. I'm 23 and my birthday is in December. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. FML
Today, I received a short happy birthday message from my father. He’s never been one to show affection, and I haven’t spoken to him in months since he only reaches out to ask for money. This might have given me hope that he cares or wants a relationship with me. Except… it’s not my birthday, and I don’t think he knows that. FML
Today, I called my dad asking him to wish me a happy birthday. Yay. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. My parents' gift was a case of non-alcoholic beer, to "prepare" me for when I "turn 21." My parents can't even remember how old I am. FML
Today, is my 21st birthday. I get home after my night out and walk into the garage to see a 2002 Red Corvette convertible. I run up to the car thinking its a gift and there's a note: "Dani this is not your birthday present. Quit drooling on my car. -Dad" Thanks Dad. FML
Today, I'm still trying not to cry. Yesterday was by birthday. I got an email from my dad with three words, "Happy Birthday (nickname)". I got a Facebook post from my mother. No card. No phone call. No gift. I have become nothing more than a Facebook friend to my parents. FML
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
Today, it's my soon to be 12 year-old daughter's birthday. On my break at work I texted her how much I loved her and happy birthday. She replied with, "K, when will you be home? Mom won't let me open presents until you're here." Good to know I'm loved. FML
Today, I ordered a beer with my parents at dinner. The waitress said, "Oh, happy 22nd birthday." My parents eyes got really big, and they started to blush. They'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm thinking there's a secret daughter you guys don't know about and he just sent the message to the wrong one.

Just because someone is old doesn't mean they can't do stuff, people think that if your not 20 something your old, my 67 grandpa hunts, fish, hikes, and he has a great memory, think twice before you say something.

"lawl" both sounds like "lol" and is sometimes used to abbreviate "laughing a whole lot." How it is used depends on the the person.

OP, I wonder, do you have a sister that DID turn 21 yesterday? Because that's the only way I can imagine how your dad can send you such an email.

Too bad it wasn't her birthday.

Yeah...if you actually fully read it, you would see that not only did he get her age wrong, he wasn't even in the same month as her birthday.

I hope you have a 21 year old sister with a birthday on that day...

Lol, I can relate, OP. My dad thought I was twelve for like, five years straight when I was a kid.

Her dad probably used AOL to send the birthday email.

I'm 23 too, and my dad had to ask me when my birthday was... and then when it came along, he thought i was 21 also!
