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, 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.

Really? I remind my parents the month before hinting what I want. My mom would never forget but my dad well he's lucky if he knows what month it is.

maybe if you had a better relationship with your parents that wouldn't happen?

haha fail maybe you should tell them the day before the day of your birthday if that makes any sense and why does that matter to you so much

Why wouldn't someone want their parents to remember their birthday?

cause some parents are asses and if they did forget don't let it get you down cause it's just wasting time apparently their not good parents if they can't rem their kids bdays straight off the tops of their heads

I agree, but I still think that someone would at least WANT their parents to remember their birthday. I never said they weren't asses for not remembering.
