Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

this is a horrible FML. respect the babies parents you jerk. what if you lost your kids before they even turned 1? think about it. I couldn't imagine the pain they are going through. grow up!

That's just creepy. While the loss of those 3 kids is a terrible & heartbreaking thing, the grieving process is a nit extreme. Oh, and to all the over-sensitive retards treating the OP like a monster, I have a question - IF the way they coped with their loss consisted of the parents carrying around pictures of the deceased kids in their coffins & speaking to these photos as if they were living, breathing children ( ex. " I said go to your room, your grounded until further notice !!!") ... do we still simply "sigh" and say "Oh, we'll their grieving ..." as an excuse & ignore the fact that these people need psychological help to get through this ?

The fact is THEY are CRAZY TRUE 5150's Where was the party? The graveyard ! WAS it OK to DANCE on the GRAVE in this case Was it a KIDS PARTY? Its OKAY for people to remember there loved ones and get together for such a things but to have a PARTY FOR CHILDREN GONE 9 YEARS IS TOO MUCH Call me what you want and say what you will JUST REMEMBER YOU ARE READING THIS TOO SO STOP JUDGING PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW!!!!!!! you might be a 5150 too!!! P.S. I LIVE IN A CITY THAT CELEBRATES DEATH! JAZZ FUNERALS, SECOND LINES AND PARTIES but not every year the healing process needs to start

It's not disrespectful, people. If the parents of the triplets want to have a memorial, then let them. However, it should be something done in private, without guilting others into coming. It is terrible to lose a child, but counceling may be needed for the parents. This is taking it a bit far...

until you all have lost somebody important to you, don't judge others and how they deal with such a loss. it's a very sensitive situation. I still write letters to my dead brother all the time, and that's the way I deal with his death.

mkay, the OP never said anything disrespectful. they just stated what happened. so stop attacking them. if you disagree with something some one else commented, take it up with them, not the OP. i understand you do not ever fully get over a death, believe me, but the pain wouldnt still be this extreme after nine years unless they were refusing to move on. i lost the aunt who raised me from birth, she was like a mother to me. on her birthday ill remember her and sometimes go through all her old stuff that we have boxed up, but a party is out of the question. and it doesnt matter if youre related or not, you shouldnt have to be dragged into this uncomfortable situation, do you let them continue to live in this pain or help them come to terms? if no one ever moved on from a death what kind of world would it be? anyone who feels the need to attack the OP is going to the extreme and needs to stop and think. im sure the OP never said anything disrespectful or mean while they were there. they never said anything heartless on here. they simply pointed out that this was an uncomfortable situation. they never said their life was worse than the parents so dont complain about how its f the parents life. they said why its f their life too. im sure if you lose three children its more than just an understatement of saying fml so do you think its really respectful to defend them on this sight, like what YOU think matters to THEM and say its f the parents life? this has nothing to do with how the parents feel so stop trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill so you can act self righteous. frick, people like some of these commentors: daltyboy, simsimma88 to name a few, get over it.

btw- you kinda ARE forced to go to things like that. how can you say, "no, i dont want to do anything in memory of your dead triplets." so to those who ssaid they could have said no, its more disrespectful to say no.
