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.

When I was 11, we had a family desktop pc that didn't really work. I spent my time playing outside with the neighbor kids and not glued to the screens

U must be a brat or need a good lesson ;
TallMist 32
Wait, what? OP is a brat because she's upset that her parents are showing favoritism towards her brother on her birthday? Is that what you're saying?

Don't feel entitled to things simply because its your birthday. Or at all for that matter. If you want something work for it.

Riiight, But an 11 year old deserves something on their SIBLINGS birthday for..probably very little? That logic makes no sense.

Be comforted knowing that by the time he's in high school it'll be outdated.

It's their money their son and their house get over it

You're missing the point of the FML. It's the fact the OP's parents are showing favoritism ON THE OP'S BIRTHDAY. If you don't think that's messed up, then you should never have kids. Parents should NEVER show favoritism.

The OP is their daughter, and it was HER birthday. Argument doesn't really hold much weight 148
