Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, it was my birthday. Nobody said anything, not even my Facebook friends, who probably got a notification about it. FML

Today, my parents forgot it was my birthday. They ordered me to scrub the common bathroom, and when I asked if they'd 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, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML

Today, I changed the date of my birthday to today on Facebook to see how many people actually know my birthday. My mom wished me a happy birthday. FML

Hello?
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML

Hey, well, happy birthday anyway
Today, my parents took me out to dinner. I thought they were taking me because it's my birthday. Turns out they are getting divorced. They forgot it was my birthday. FML

Damn Facebook :( Seriously, how hard is it to remember the day your own child was born?? Unless you have like 14 siblings, but even then.. You have lame parents OP, FYL.

change your birthday on Facebook every couple of months. if Facebook says it then it must be true.

I think Facebook is kind of stupid... I'm glad we don't have Internet anymore because all my mom did was play FarmVille! It got annoying...

Here is an idea instead if having Facebook remind them. You should remind them.

You shouldn't have to remind your own parents of your birthday.

you don't?

they don't love him my parents remember my bday without the help of fb
ladyluck82 9
that's why I deleted my FB....it consumes peoples lives...smh. Remember the days when you actually got a **GASP** (do I DARE say?) PHONE CALL or BIRTHDAY CARD in the mail wishing you a "Happy Birthday?" Now, we're judged wether or not we're fast enough to write "Happy Birthday" on someone's wall. Point.

I couldn't agree anymore. I'd actually be pissed if it took Facebook to remind my parents of my birthday.

facebook keeps you updated tho, like brithdays, events and stuff .

how is this a YDI? OP shouldn't have to remind their parents... this is a FYL because that's pathetic..
dyates27 0
ya it is, but if we a's a society (not a's an individual) would stop spending so much time on fb, ppl wouldn't rely on it. obviously, her parents are retards, and it is a FYL.
