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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, “I’m so proud of you!” I immediately replied, “Thanks, Mom!” Then I realized it was meant for my sister, and my mom had accidentally texted me instead of her. 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, my mother-in-law texted to wish me a happy birthday. She spelled my name wrong and it's not my birthday. FML
Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Today, I'm mad at my dad for forgetting it's my birthday. He's mad at me for not reminding him. FML
Today, my sister was meant to come over for lunch for my birthday. Turns out, she forgot about it. FML
Today, my mother bitched me out for not coming to my sister's birthday tomorrow. She's 25 and lives at home, and she, my mother, and father all have Covid. FML
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What the? What'd she say when you corrected her? But I guess sometimes people get confused between children. My parents call my sisters by the others name sometimes.

I hope you shame your mom for forgetting yours. Happy birthday, OP!

Maybe she meant to text your sister and sent into you instead? It happens - just Google 'autocorrect fails' for some really embarrassing examples...

Umh that's sad, I'm sorry OP. I know and understand that parents sometimes unintentionally confuse us with our siblings and call us by different names. My mom called me by our dog's name couple of times already but I understand that they just have different things on their minds. On the other hand, confusing birthdays is kind of weird. It's not a momentary thing, she probably knew about it for days or weeks before and it's really weird for a mom to forget her child's birthday. Don't feel too bad about it though, I bet (hope) she still loves you and was sorry afterwards.

Dogs are more important, parents make a conscious decision to get them 100% of them time, unlike kids. ;)
