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

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 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?

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

Thats funny in a messed up way. But I can see how it would hurt your feelings. Lay down the guilt trip.

Spermed? Are you referring to ejaculated, finished, came, or maybe even nutted?

hard times? well I can't even say that.. it's the thought that counts right? so they would have been better off just taking a minute to make a card

who cares about the card anyways? as long as theres a good check or directions to Where your gift is there's no reasons to add emotional Hallmark moments into the equation. ydi.

Your parents are pathetic if they can't afford a birthday card for you that costs a measly $2.
