Today, my daughter forgot my birthday. When I asked her, she said she'd remembered my birthday, but was too busy at work to acknowledge it. However, she did have time to post a message on Facebook, wishing a happy birthday to her cat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML
Today, it was my daughter's birthday. I didn't know I had a daughter. FML
Today, was my birthday. Today was also the day that my mom's cat died four years ago. She was too busy crying and looking at old photos of her beloved cat to even wish me a happy birthday. FML
Today, my cleaner wished me a happy birthday. My family and friends forgot. FML
Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML
Today, I found out why my parents forgot my birthday. Facebook didn't remind them. FML
Today, it's my wife's birthday. I'm known for being forgetful and she already thinks I don't care. I had some little things planned for today, but her sister messaged me telling me to remember her birthday before I even said happy birthday. Now my wife is crying and upset because once again, I "only act on prompt." FML
Today, it's my birthday, and everyone, family and friends, forgot. Except my dog who left me a present on my bed. FML
Today, it's my soon to be 12 year-old daughter's birthday. On my break at work I texted her how much I loved her and happy birthday. She replied with, "K, when will you be home? Mom won't let me open presents until you're here." Good to know I'm loved. FML
Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML

You have the same birthday as her cat? What are the odds?!?!? 1 in 365.25

Fun fact! In a room of 23 people, there’s a 50% chance two of them share a birthday! Because...math. I don’t know how to convert that to people and cats, though. Looking at this one example, 1 person + 1 cat = 100% chance of sharing a birthday! If I’ve learned anything from the internet, conclusions based on anecdotal evidence plus comically small sample sizes are normally unequivocally correct, right?

don’t hate me for this but it seems like your daughter just doesn’t give a **** so maybe you need to look a bit deeper into your relationship w her
