Today, I feel both happy and jealous of my father. It's his birthday and he has received over 100 times more phone calls than me. I'd had two: one from my local bank manager and one from my girlfriend. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I called my dad asking him to wish me a happy birthday. Yay. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. FML
Today, I'm still trying not to cry. Yesterday was by birthday. I got an email from my dad with three words, "Happy Birthday (nickname)". I got a Facebook post from my mother. No card. No phone call. No gift. I have become nothing more than a Facebook friend to my parents. FML
Today, it was my birthday. The only person who remembered was my dad who got me a phone charger for my car, which I didn't even need because he got me the same exact thing last year. FML
Today, my father got married. He left me a voicemail to tell me all about it. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I got just three calls all day. The first one was my fiancé, saying he wanted his ring back. The second one was my best friend, confessing to me that she had been sleeping with my fiancé for the past three months. The third was the dentist's office, to sing me a happy birthday. FML
Today, I called my dad to inform him I was coming home from college for the weekend. Expecting him to be excited, he responded with "why?" This weekend was my birthday. FML
Today, my parents spent more time, money, and effort on my boyfriend's birthday present than they ever have on any of mine. FML
Today, it's Fathers Day. Both of my adult daughters called me… from their stepfather's house. FML
Today, my dad got a new phone and put me on speed dial. I have received several voice mails from him accidentally dialed. They are from him riding the train, in a meeting, having lunch, and, most recently, him taking a monstrous dump. FML

People have various relationships with people who show love and appreciation differently. If you want more friends, go make some. Be grateful that you have a girlfriend that cares for you too.

Why would anyone want 200+ phone calls in one day ever?

Happy birthday! Now you have three. Don't get hung up on it too much. Although why your parents didn't wish you a happy birthday is bothering me... How is your relationship with them?

generational difference- they are used to calling, as for us, we're lucky if we remember to leave a note on fb

You should at least be happy you got a call from your girlfriend. Things could be worse.
