Today, I had to go to a birthday party for 10 year-old triplets. They've all been dead for more than 9 years. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my birthday. Also today, same as the past five years, my family forgot my mine and threw a party for my 5-year-old twin sisters who I share a birthday with. FML
Today, it was my daughter's 11th birthday party. One kid broke a vase, another lost a (baby) tooth, and two kids, including mine, tested positive for Covid. My kid parties harder than I ever have. FML
Today, we celebrated our daughter's sixth birthday. Out of the 30 invited, 7 showed up. The last one to cancel this morning told us she was ill. My daughter was in tears as this meant the last remaining playmate couldn't come. My wife later saw her tagged on Facebook at another party. FML
Today, I was at my sixteenth birthday party. My guests consisted of my grandma who I live with, and my 2-year-old cousin she was babysitting. FML
Today, I went to a party. No one there was under 60. I'm 16 and it was the only party I've been to all year. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I am a triplet. In my first class, everyone sang happy birthday to my sister. Her friends got her balloons too. My other sister's friends got her flowers. Everyone forgot I was their sister and all of my own friends forgot that it was my birthday. FML
Today, I emailed 10 parents inviting them to my son's birthday party. All 10 emailed back saying their kids had to get a cavity filled. FML
Today, it was my mother's birthday. My 5 year old brother and 85 year old grandma decided to decorate the house with balloons and a blow up "people" they found in my room. FML
Today, and recently, many of my friends have been acting strangely. My birthday is coming up soon, so I thought maybe they were planning a surprise party. Nope. Turns out they've just been secretly hanging out without me. FML
Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

my friends parents invite us all over for their daughters birthday to hang out and remember her, when she died 7 years ago, they do it every year.

my older brother past away 8 years ago, and every year on his birthday and the day he passed, we have a bonfire. we do it to remember him. just cuz he's gone doesn't mean we don't still love him. if you haven't lost someone, you obviously don't understand. there is no time limit to grief.

Wow disrespect much, I agree its a little weird but can you imagine losing 3 kids like that. I wouldn't personaly throw a party, but still, kindly decline instead of being a douche and bitching it. I. vote for an op is a douche button.

I vote for a 'The cause of this FML is in actual need of therapy' button.

fyl? these people lost all 3 of their kids. have some damn respect. maybe they want one full day of of just remembering their children with their friends.

Having a party for dead kids is sorta disrespectful in itself. Plus their friends probably didn't know the babies that well.

3 at once what's up with that maybe its a guilt thing and accident of some sort

but their friends shouldn't be forced to attend if they are uncomfortable with it. It sounds like the OP felt he/she had no option.

It doesn't sound to me like the OP was that close to the parents or the triplets to begin with if he's complaining about going to a birthday party for dead triplets (they probably died before he even had a chance to bond with them). On the other hand, the birthday thing is weird to me. I've never heard of something like that. I really don't think that the OP is being a jerk, he just has a different way of dealing with this situation.
