Today, it's my soon to be 12 year-old daughter's birthday. On my break at work I texted her how much I loved her and happy birthday. She replied with, "K, when will you be home? Mom won't let me open presents until you're here." Good to know I'm loved. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my birthday. I called my mom to thank her for the gift she'd sent. She was surprised and said, "Oh I thought you were waiting to open it." She ended the conversation with, "OK, I'll call you on your birthday." 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, it was my daughter's birthday. I didn't know I had a daughter. 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 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, my daughter forgot my birthday. When I asked her, she said she'd remembered my birthday, but was too busy at work to acknowledge it. However, she did have time to post a message on Facebook, wishing a happy birthday to her cat. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant with my kids. I told my 13 year old about how the very first time she said she loved me. She was 2 and it was at this very restaurant. I told her the details and even started tearing up a little. She didn't even look up from her cell phone and said, "That's fab, ma." FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her a lot. Her reply? "Thanks." FML
Today, it's my birthday. I'd asked my mom weeks ago if she could watch my kids, so my husband and I could go celebrate. She told me an hour before we were supposed to leave I'd have to reschedule, so she could watch my brother's kids while he goes out for fun. Gee, thanks mom. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

When I was 12, I had my first phone -_- but it was for practical reasons since the middle school was kind of far. Anyways but I was never spoiled, cause if I was my parents wouldn't have it (Asians :D ) I think it all depends on how well the parents raise their kids. Besides, why compare 2 different ages? :/ Ok, so back then the cool things were DS's and portable cd players and all that stuff. Now it's just cellphones, touch screen innovation and the best-new technology. It's just what we grow up with and around to. But I do agree, there's always that kid that takes things for granted. But as for OP, hope she'll grow up and show some respect because I don't think it's hit her yet how one day, there'll be a birthday where you won't even be there anymore :(

Awwww, she does love you, she's just got a one-track mind right now. I still talk to my daddy that way and I'm turning 23 next month. But I do it specifically to be obnoxious.

That's sad. What a stingy girl.

You clearly don't have a firm grasp on the English language so here is an example of "stingy" for you. If it was OPs birthday and his daughter decided she was keeping the present she got him for herself.

Does this 12 year old think the fml is because the daughter said "k"? It sorta seems like it...

SHE'S FREAKING 12!!! That doesn't make her a bitch. She's to young for that. Damn people keep insulting that generation, look at yourself. Calling a 12 year old a bitch.

My 11 year old niece is a bitch. She goes out of her way to insult and be nasty to you. I think "bitch" fits her quite well. :P

63- exactly SHE'S ******* 12. she's almost a teenager. if she can't even treat her PARENTS with respect by now, she's going to be a bitch to everyone once she hits puberty. OP didn't have to get her shit for her birthday, but he did anyway, and this little brat can't muster a simple thank you.

163- When I was 12, I hated my parents. I still don't have a very good relationship with them. I've been a teenager since 12 (at least that's what my dad says).
