Today, the whole family came over to celebrate my 18th birthday. My grandfather bought me a giant mathematics book. Apparently, he didn't want my 16 year old sister to be "jealous", so he got her the new iPad. FML

Thanks, iHate it
Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. FML

Today, my stepmother proved once again that she likes to play favourites. She has no job, so anything she gifts comes from my dad’s account. On my last birthday, I got £5 on a cheap card. Today, my step-brother's birthday, he got £400 and an iPad. He’s 4 years old. FML

Today, my parents got me a new computer for my birthday. They also took the liberty of throwing out my old computer, with 8 years of photos, videos, music, documents, emails, and bookmarks on it. But that's okay, I had a backup. They threw that out too. FML

Today, after saving up for weeks, I bought myself an iPad. Because mine is better than the one my parents bought my ten-year-old brother, he got pissed and threw it into our pool. I'm now grounded for getting angry and calling him a bastard in the aftermath. FML

Sounds fair enough
Today, my dad came up into my room and told me that as a consequence of breaking my MacBook in anger, he’s punishing me by helping him with yardwork every single hour of the day. FML

my dad once bought my sister an iPhone 5s for my birthday. I got a 2 liter of Pepsi.

When it's your parent's birthday give a gift to the other and act confused if they ask why.

I'm wondering if there's something more to this, like if OP's brother's laptop happened to break, and the day it was replaced happened to be OP's bday? Also, OP never said if he/she got anything either. Assuming the worst, however, FYL OP, that would really suck :/

It says in the title "thanks for the 5$ gift card

Read the title maybe?

at 11, I was playing outside and entertaining myself with sports and what not . Can't say I was given a laptop at that age . sorry OP!

I mean I'd understand if your brother got something like an action figure, as I believe it's fine to give little knick knacks for no reason every now and then, but a laptop? And on your birthday? That's pretty shitty :/

Dude that sucks I'm sorry that happened to you but happy birthday OP

Well MacBooks aren't the best laptops someone can buy, so at least you'll have something to talk about

Eh... I've had nothing but Apple technology, and though it's pricey, I have to say that it's also quality stuff. Our opinions may just differ on that though

But having only had apple technology you can't speak objectively on which is better. I have had Apple products as well as other brands. I found Apple to be rather difficult to use, as well as limiting, but againthats my opinion.

I've had both an iPad and an Android Tablet PC and the Android was absolutely unresponsive, the battery kept dying, even when it wasn't in use, the apps I'd use on it would just not work at all where they'd work perfectly on my iPad. I haven't had many other Apple or Android products, but based off what I used, I'd choose Apple, definitely,

Seriously?!? I had to work my butt off for 2 summers scrubbing toilets for rich d-bags when I was 22 and 23 in order to buy myself a MacBook. 3 yrs of really crappy Christmas/birthday gifts for all of them should get the point across. FYL indeed(I tried to hit the button but there is a glitch)

both my sisters got iPhones on my birthday and I got the promotional gift cards that came with it -.-"

My brother got an Xbox 360 for Christmas a couple years ago. I got a toaster, pancake mix, and a men's razor.
