Today, it was my birthday. My parents got me a box of cupcakes. My brother got me a deck of cards. My aunt got me a brochure on how to quit smoking. I have diabetes, I don't play cards, and I don't smoke. FML
Collection
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. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, it's my birthday, I received two cards, one from my mum and one from my son, that my mum gave to him to give to me. My entire family said they couldn't be bothered going out for dinner for my birthday. My two 'friends' didn't even send a card, never mind a gift or want to meet up. 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, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML
Today, for my birthday, my friends and family gave me: A Wii Fit, a free year at the gym and a book of diet recipes. They didn't consult with each other. I've asked for "something corresponding to me". FML
Today, it's my birthday. The only thing I got was a coupon for a couples acupuncture session from my sister. I'm single and have an extreme fear of needles. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Today, my parents gave me fat burner pills for my birthday. FML
Today, it's my 25th birthday, I celebrated it by cooking my favourite meal for my parents and sister, while they watched TV and house-hunted for my sister. I have yet to hear a happy birthday, receive a card, a present or a phone call. Oh, and my parents are on a diet, so they complained my cooking wasn’t "on their plan." FML
Today, it was both my and my stepmother's birthday. In preparation, my dad bought a huge banner with my stepmother's name on it, and a lovely birthday cake. When I told him it was also my birthday, he just grunted and taped a post-it note to the banner with my name on it. Same with the cake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Whoa dude! No need to push people who might have suicidal tendencies (not at all calling you suicidal), because then you might kill someone and no one will be grateful of that.

That sucks. But why don't you play cards? Cards are fun. Learn to play some games. That's a good gift. Anyway, FYL for the other two.

At least they did'nt completely disreguard the fact that it was your birthday. It could've been way worse. Be thankful for what you did get, not what you didn't.

light the brochure up like a cigarette, down the cake as fast as you can, and as you are croaking play a game of 52 card pick up with your brother.

Did you actually read this post or are you really that stupid? She's a diabetic, eating cupcakes could potentially kill her, especially if shes not an expert at controlling her insulin. Also, her AUNT gave her the brochere, and so is therefore most likely in okay health. Her family obviously didn't care enough about thier own relitive to attempt something resembling an effort, wich makes them asses. besides, it's not the lack of cool stuff that sucks, it's the fact your family are that indiferent about your existence. Sorry OP, that's gotta hurt. happy B-day with lots of heart♥ and a smiley☻
