Today, I had dinner with my family in celebration of my 19th Birthday. I've been hinting that I need a new laptop for months now and I was sure my family had bought me one. I have got a pair of slipper socks. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, was my graduation party. My birthday was about a week ago so my parents combined the presents. I thought it would be something big so I hinted for a new TV. I got a snuggie. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and apparently my family forgot it. But one person didn't forget. My dog gave me a little present in my new shoes I bought for myself. FML
Today, I turned 18. My parents got me a pineapple and a pair of socks. I'm allergic to pineapple, and the socks are too small. FML
Today, I turned eighteen. Thinking I was going to get a big present from my parents on this special day, I eagerly unwrapped my present. They got me a bag of M and M's. Last year I got flannel bed sheets. FML
Today, the whole family came over to celebrate my 18th birthday. My grandfather bought me a giant mathematics book. Apparently, he didn't want my 16 year old sister to be "jealous", so he got her the new iPad. FML
Today, my parents bought my 11-year-old brother a MacBook for my birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, my parents gave me a sock and card for my eighteenth birthday. The card said, "Now that Dobby is free, get out." FML
Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well slipper socks ARE awesome. Fact is you are nineteen, expecting expensive birthday presents from your parents and being a little brat when you don't get one is very immature. You're an adult, go buy one yourself.

Man don't you feel entitled... My family didn't buy me a laptop for my birthday in this economy. Wah! You noob. People losing their jobs and homes and you're bitching about getting a new laptop... You boob!

Indeed he did. He's upset he didn't get a birthday present worth thousands of dollars, on an insignificant birthday? If your family is so well off that you truly believed you would get a laptop, your life is not ******. ******* spoiled kids

Slipper socks are amazing! You're so lucky! This isn't an FML at all! I mean if you didn't have a computer at all it might be, but you clearly do have access to one that works well enough for you to post here.

I'm 18. I work for a living. Meaning I'm younger than you, and I don't rely on my parents to buy me anything, not even essentials like toileteries. Grow up, get a job, save the money and buy a god damn laptop yourself instead of being a whiny brat on here.

Thank you! This bitch is saying FML because they didn't get an expensive thing they wanted? Jesus. Get a job, suck a ****.. do something for your own damn money! Shouldn't expect things to be just given to you. makes. me. soooo. angry.

They're your parents, people shouldn't just expect things from them. You owe them your life, so people shouldn't whine and bitch on here when they don't get what they wanted for their bwirfday :'( My heart melts for these people. truly. People work to get things, and people need to learn that lesson and have a work ethic as soon as possible. Ridiculous. I think people 10 years older than me are immature sometimes, living with their parents, yet still expecting to be handed everything.

These kind of people really disgust me. How DARE you call yourself "unloved" because your parents wouldn't buy you a NEW laptop. This year it was absolutely essential for me to get a desktop (I don't currently own one BTW). So guess what? I went out, got this thing called a job, and GASP, BOUGHT IT MYSELF!!! Maybe you should stop being a burden to your parents (and the rest of society) and actually do something with yourself. We're not asking you to donate to charity or anything. Just take care of your own self.

I'm with you. Im 20, just bought myself a brand new $2500 computer and am currently putting myself through college. Without my parents help. "Unloved" because you didn't get a computer? Shove it up your ass, I wouldn't love a spoiled brat like you either. Kind of remind me of that youtube video I saw of the girl crying over her brand new car "because it's the wrong color." GOD!

Wow people just work a few months and put it away in a savings account. You'd be surprised how fast it builds up

This is yet another great example of why this site needs other alternate voting options. It's in no way a FLM, OP is just imature and greedy. Being so ungrateful, OP dosen't even deserve the socks. OP's parents should log in here and create a FML; "Even though our child has been a 'legal' adult for a full year now, and no mature adult expects gifts from his/her parents, our offspring decided his/her life was '******' and posted the story for the world to read and vote upon online. Just because we gave him a gift of socks."

at least she gets a gift. A lot of kids after the age of 18 don't get birthday presents. Go read MLIG. Spoilt brat.
