Today, my mom was screaming and throwing things at me and I didn’t know why. Then I checked the date. Her birthday was yesterday. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom screamed at me to the point of tears, because it rained on her birthday. FML
Today, I woke up and took my mom to work. It wasn't until after I got home, logged on Facebook and looked at the upcoming birthdays to see that it was her birthday today. No wonder she was silent the entire car ride and slammed the door on the way out. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, I called my mom to let her know I was coming home for my upcoming birthday, as I haven’t seen my parents in months. She then stated she hated my birthday because it reminded her she was getting older, and they may have preexisting plans that evening anyways. Really feeling the family love… 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, on my birthday, I worked overtime because I haven’t celebrated my birthday in years. I got out of work and found a bunch of hate filled voicemails from my mom about missing my surprise party. She has never thrown me a party in my life; in fact I haven’t spoken to my mom in 7 months. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
Today, it's my birthday and my mom took me and some friends to an amusement park. Looking for a tampon, I found a phone in my mom's purse that I didn't recognize. Turns out my mom is cheating on my dad. Happy birthday to me, I guess. FML
Today, my mother had to ask me when my birthday was, because she gets it confused with the day she bought our old car. FML
Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML

Sounds like yesterday was a shitty day for mankind then, the day a complete monster was born.

Sadly, you cannot pick your parents. You are stuck with what you have. Just apologize, buy her a card or something. Mom will get over it. Unfortunately your mom behaved like a childish spoiled brat today. But everyone wants to be remembered on their special days, the pain she felt was real but she acted badly and not worthy of an adult. But there is no point in pointing that out. You are a young man, this won’t be the first or last time you have to say “I am sorry” (even if you think you weren’t that wrong). It goes with the territory, get used to it. Learn to say it convincingly, it will serve you well in life. My mom was always sure to remind us of her upcoming birthday and Mother’s Day ahead of time. So this never happened to me when I was growing up. Put your Mom and Dad’s birthdays on your smartphone or computer’s calendar set to repeat yearly and remind you a week before. That will avoid future recurrences.

Throwing things at you? We talking bouncy balls or plates?

If I were there, I would have helped. I'd have thrown things at you, too, you little shit kid! How do you forget Mom's birthday?
