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!

31# It's unfortunately pretty common for complications to show up during childbirth+pregnancy+infancy, especially multiple births, but I have no idea what they had that could have gotten all of then so quickly.

Grieving for 9 years? That means they just fail at life. Don't associate yourself with such people, no matter who they are or how closely related. They will just try to drag you into their endless emo nonsense. I understand that losing a child is one of the greatest tragedies one can suffer, but 9 years? Either move on or kill yourself already!

no where in this fml did it say that the parents were still crying themselves to sleep every night. who are you to judge how they take one day of the year to formerly remember their children. you are just about as inconsiderate as the poster.

How exactly does one "move on" from losing a child, ever? Let alone three children. That's horrible.

well you're an asshole, people who loose children can't just move on, it's almost impossible.

honestly, you're probably just saying that for attention or you're just sick an twisted in your head. you have no remorse, sympathy, or empathy and that is why you do and always will fail as a human being and a functional adult in society.

What a ******* dick you are!!! Why don't you go burn in hell? It takes people a long time to "get over" a deceased person if ever! Im sure if your mom, dad, sister, brother etc. died today I'm sure that you would understand.

My dad died 5 years ago, when I was 17. Got over it a couple years ago. So yeah, people move on. Don't get me wrong though, I know people get over things in different amounts of time. As for the op and some of the commentors' posts I think that he shouldn't have been forced to go to the event, and that having a "birthday party" is really creepy for people that died 9 years ago. A day of remembrance is fine, but it seems to me that the parents need help.

we do birthday thing as a family every year for my dad, who passed 19 years ago. but we wouldn't invite people to his 'party' - that's just weird!

Maybe the parents did it because "10" years old is sometimes considered a milestone age and they wanted to celebrate the lives that they once had. I couldn't imagine losing a child let alone 3. People grieve different ways.
