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.

Those who can so easily comment that the parents should have moved on have clearly never lost someone close to them

I have never lost a close relative but even I understand you can never fully get over it in that amount of time, I still grieve my pets, I felt closer to them than my real family D:

You probably will change your mind about your pets being closer than family if you lose any of them, and although I hope you don't sometimes it takes losing something to fully appreciate what you had. Even if they've been mean or annoying I'm sure it will hurt more to lose your family.

If after 9 years they cant move on then theres a problem. losing a child is hard but 9 years is a little much

when you loose some one close to you, pain may fade but it NEVER fully goes away. no one is the same, and we all deal with grief differently!

You clearly have not lost a child! I lost my daughter when she was 10 and I guarantee you 10 years from now I still will grieve and I still will miss her and I still will not have gotten over it!

Today, I started reading FML to get a laugh and come across this one which is the first FML to make me cry. FML

I agree that it should be a private matter. This is why I'm going to assume you're family to them. Its not really fair of you to make this into an FML, those parents lost THREE children, not just one. Regardless of if they were 1 or 10 when they died, they were known and loved so much by their parents that this is the only comfort they have left until they can be together again.

Saddest FML ever. Not even sure it should be on here TBH

it's not disrespectful.. they went to the birthday didn't they!

They only went because they felt forced, so it can be an fml for the OP. However, I will agree with some that it is a bit disrespectful to post about it on here. The parents of those babies are the ones with the real fml story.
