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!

You know guys, maybe OP isn't disrespectful. It's very hard to be in an atmosphere where someone has passed and you are doing a remembrance program. Some people who go to funerals may not necessarily know the deceased well, but they're still upset. Maybe OP is upset or doesn't want to be in that depressing environment... Also, why a birthday party? Wouldn't it be like a memorial anniversary?

Maybe they didn't all die on the same day and it's 'easier' to celebrate a birthday than have three separate death days.

The "surviving parents" need grief counseling ... starting 9 years ago. OP gets the well-deserved "FML" for not having the balls to politely turn down the invitation to a sick event.

Thank you for not being an unreasonable dumbass.

my guess is it's not a birthday party, but a gathering to remember them every year on the day they were born. that makes it sound more logical, and people do this all the time when tragedies occur (like 9/11, the death of a well known person, natural disasters, etc..). just because the parents still think of the children they lost doesn't mean they are depressed day in and day out, i'm sure they are surviving ok and this is their day to remember.

So let me see if I understand this. You believe your life is ****** because you had to go to a memorial party, rather than the parents who lost not one, not two, but THREE children?? Do I have that about right? You think YOUR life is ******? **** you, you insensitive shit. I hope you never experience the pain of losing a child, but if you do, then maybe you'll understand.

I don't see how this is an FML... Its not even close to being funny or hilariously tragic.

9 years ago...

It would still hurt a parent for their entire life to lose any one child. My aunt had 1 child who died as a baby and it took her over 20 years to really accept it enough to be really happy, even though I'm sure she still thinks of him every day. She never had parties but she went to his grave very often.

yeah #204 If, god forbid, you lose a single child (let alone 3!) come back and let us know when you're over it yeah? I can't imagine a parent EVER gets over the loss of a child! Grow the hell up you disrespectful little brat!

Ya well, everyone obviously has different feelings on the situation. Since we didn't get the whole story, we should assume op is a little annoyed and pisses off that they are obligated to attend a birthday party. There are two kinds of people in this world, ones the except death, and ones that can't no matter the circumstances. I'm kinda with op because that's more of a private issue on the parents part. More people than you think except the deaths of their own children..

I agree that if it was an actual birthday party it's pretty creepy and if OP was actually forced to go that sucks. If I was one of those parents and I saw this I'd be devastated though. I'd be willing to bet it was some kind of memorial not a 'party' and that OP is a teen who is either rebelling or didn't want to give up their saturday.
