Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my birthday and everyone in the office chipped in to buy me a card, and nothing but a card. It had a pre-written message on it and a space to write "Love, *insert name*" where everyone signed their names. The "Love" was crossed out and replaced with "From". FML
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
Today, I got a birthday card in the mail from my aunt. I got all excited when I saw a cheque inside, but the cheque was addressed to the wrong name. Not only did my own aunt forget my name, I couldn't even bank the $60. FML
Today, I received a birthday card from my dad, over a week late. It was addressed to me using my maiden name, the enclosed check also made out to me using my maiden name. I've been married for over 10 years. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. FML
Today, my Dad gave me my birthday card. The envelope was blank, as was the card, and the £0.25 price tag was still on. He was fully aware of all these things, but handed it to me and said, "By the way, I didn't write anything." Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents, with whom I live, told me that they didn't get me anything, but instead they said they would knock off a bit of the housekeeping I owe them. FML
Today, the only card I got for Valentine's Day was in my mother's handwriting, and she posted it through the front door herself. She still won't admit it's from her. FML
Today, my wife put divorce papers in my birthday card. FML
Today, it's my birthday, I received two cards, one from my mum and one from my son, that my mum gave to him to give to me. My entire family said they couldn't be bothered going out for dinner for my birthday. My two 'friends' didn't even send a card, never mind a gift or want to meet up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, you could always use a funeral condolences card, but instead of the deceased person, scribble it out and put your parents' names.

My parents abandoned me at birth, allowing me drift from foster home to foster home until I was old enough to make a life for myself. it must be nice to have parents that care.

@42 FML is not a "my life sucks more contest." For one thing, I'm sure quite a few of us could beat you if we tried. For another thing, the comment section would get dull pretty quickly because it would go "There are starving children in the world. Get over your petty problems." And most importantly, eventually, it would turn FML into a really depressing site, because only things that were truly horrible would get posted.

You guys are douchebags and are pathetic for bashing on someone with a sob story. Maybe they have nobody else to tell?

97 - They put those pictures up because it is the only way anyone will ever pay any attention to them. Daddy just never cared enough :'( Also, they probably don't have boyfriends. If they did, they wouldn't feel the need to toss their sad old ******* around on the interwebs.

I should feel bad, but this is just too hilarious. Relax, it's just a birthday card. It'll be in the trash in two days, whether or not it was originally intended for your sister.
