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
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!

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.

lay off the op. would any of you want to go to a birthday party for 3 dead kids?

The OP isn't trying to be disrespectful, they just find it strange that there was a 'party' so many years after the death of the children. And anyways, I doubt it was a 'party'. I'm guessing it was more of a gathering memorial of life.

I agree that nine years is a long time to have a party for dead triplets but they died way too young and maybe it's a way for them to grieve and still honor their memory. Thats not something you get over easily. So think about the triplets parents, suck it up, and stop vein selfish

Death happens people need to move on theres no time to mourn about those who have gone

peoplewho say thats insensitive, stfu. yes, it is sensative for theparents, but itbeing called a ' birthday party' obviously means itwasnt just a memorial

Hey some people don't move on quickly. I mean look at me i haven't cried since my first dog past away and I'm still in shock. Plus I let go of family members quicker than pets even animals who i don't know.
