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

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!

7 some people get so sad when their child dies that they make it seem they're still alive.

I don't think that should be called a birthday..

why would they even have a party? it would just be a reminder that their child is dead...

that was sort of a crude comment ): but im just wondering what terrible thing could cause the death of 3 infants.. and her husband.. doesn't she has someone she loves enough to help her move on? and if not they should pay respects to their graves.. I mean my uncles little baby died last month and he was such a little infant but his wife and him have each other to pull each other out of the sadness, now they're just sensitive to the babies name. I'm sorry this creeps yu out and I do not believe yur opinion is disrespectful OP. I just wish that soon your neighbors can soon advance to moving on and maybe have new children but still remember their lost loved ones (:

How is this a fyl? **** the parents life that their children died. Maybe this is the only way they can grieve. Show a little compassion.

thank you. finally I came across the first comment like your telling them how it is. people think "oh it is no big deal you can just pop out another" well that's isn't the point. the point is that it was their children that died at such a young age and didn't even get to experience everything.
