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, I found out that my mom and dad got a divorce. They didn't tell me, they just changed their relationship status on Facebook. 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, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. 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.

Get over it, at least you have parents. How do you think orphans and homeless people feel when no one wishes them happy birthday?

Yeah, lol. I would do that, go to my parents and remind them. Followed by stretching my hand for money, it's my birthday after all. :) No scruples OP!

Your parents love a website more than they love you.

Wah, wah, wah. I doubt they forgot when your birthday is. More like they're probably busy, partially listening to you whine all the time, juggling schedules, trying to get things done around the house, stressing about work, and the days went by. It happens. And if it hasn't happened to you, you don't have much of a life. Either that, or they're sick of your whining and crying but didn't forget your birthday. Just decided to ignore it.

I think 20 is one of OP's parents and is trying to justify forgetting their child's birthday : p

So your saying if OP's parents forgot his/her birthday because of schedules, work and trying to get other things done OP doesn't have much of a life? Watch out, we got a genius in the house. You don't have much of a life when you troll with your anger moron

I always love it when my parents forget my birthday. It means they feel bad and they get me an extra present or two :D

EXACTLY. My dad has the worst memory EVER and when he forgot my 16th birthday, he not only payed for my entire party but gave me 50 bucks. It was awesome.

They told you that? "Oh sorry I forgot your birthday, it wasn't on Facebook"! And maybe you're not friends with them. They can have ignored your friend request!

If they rely on Facebook, change your birthdate to a day in a few weeks time. See if they notice. When they claim it isn't your birthday, say 'Facebook doesn't lie'. Plus it'd show them up to be the hypocrites they are.

I have it worse. The only reason anyone is going to remember my birthday is because of my FB page. That I didn't make. Come April, some creeper is going to get more "happy eighteenth birthday" messages than I will.
